Community Park

Community Park is Davis's go-to destination for families, offering an impressive variety of activities all in one location. With multiple age-appropriate playgrounds, a popular splash pad for hot California days, wide-open grassy areas perfect for running and picnicking, plus sports fields and a skate park, there's truly something to keep every member of the family entertained for hours.

• ✓Splash pad with multiple water features (seasonal, typically summer months)
• ✓Multiple playground structures designed for different age groups
• ✓Large skate park for older kids and teens
• ✓Open sports fields and grassy areas for ball games and running
• ✓Shaded picnic areas with tables perfect for birthday parties and family gatherings

1. 1.Arrive early on summer weekends (before 10 AM) to snag a shaded picnic table near the splash pad,they go quickly on hot days
2. 2.Bring extra clothes and towels for the splash pad, plus sunscreen for reapplication since there's limited shade in that area
3. 3.The park has restrooms, but they can get busy during peak times, so plan bathroom breaks accordingly
4. 4.Pack a ball or frisbee to enjoy the expansive open grass areas,perfect for burning energy between playground sessions
5. 5.The skate park area offers great viewing benches where parents can supervise while younger siblings play nearby

Weekday mornings (9-11 AM) or late afternoons (4-6 PM) are ideal for avoiding crowds. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures, while summer mornings are perfect for splash pad fun before the heat peaks.

The park is free to visit with ample parking available. There are restrooms and picnic tables throughout, but no on-site food vendors, so pack snacks and water or plan to eat at nearby restaurants in downtown Davis.

The splash pad typically operates during summer months (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Spring offers beautiful weather and blooming trees, while fall provides comfortable temperatures. Winter can be rainy, but the playgrounds remain open year-round during park hours.

Head to Redrum Burger just a few blocks away for juicy burgers and milkshakes, or visit Davis Commons shopping area (5-minute drive) for multiple family-friendly options including Chipotle, Panera Bread, and Cafe Bernardo.
