Orangevale Park



Orangevale, CA
This huge park takes up the whole block of Hazel Ave and Oak Ave and Filbert Ave and around. Off Greenback turn left onto Hazel Ave. Turn right on Oak Ave. and the parking lot for the playground will be on the right. For other hikes and Frisbee golf the parking lot will be on Hazel Ave. before Oak Ave, as well as one past the playground on Filbert Ave.

Orangevale Park is a huge park that includes many hidden amenities and open space. It has a cute playground with a small kid playground as well as a BIG kid playground. The big kid playground has really tall slides, the most daring will enjoy this. There is a covered BBQ area next to the playground. The bathroom facilities are across the grassy open field. Lots of shade trees for sure. This park is also known for its 18-hole Frisbee golf course, the only one around. While you try to find the markers have a peaceful and relaxing time as you meander through the woods along the trails.

Almond Park



Orangevale, CA

From Greenback going North turn right on Almond Ave. Go 1 mile and the park and parking lot will be on the right side.

This is a huge neighborhood park that is very peaceful. There are lots of beautiful trees that drop leaves in the fall that are perfect for the strolling person who wants to rustle up some noise. There is a great playground for older kids with swings and slides. The smaller playground needs to be updated; it is a little dirty and old. It is good in the summer time since has lots of shade. The trails meander around the beautiful trees and open fields. There are sand volleyball courts, and BBQ areas perfect in the summer.
