Twila Reid Park

A Glimpse Into History

Dating back to 1965, this park honors Twila G. Reid, a trailblazing educator who broke barriers as California's first female school district superintendent. Pretty impressive legacy, right?

What You'll Find Here

Sprawling across 27.2 acres, this community green space has a little something for everyone. With its wide open lawns, well-lit sports fields, and smooth walking paths, you can easily spend an entire day exploring what Twila Reid has to offer.

The children's play area recently got a major facelift and is a great spot for kids to burn off energy. Little ones can choose between different play structures tailored to various age groups - complete with slides, climbing walls, monkey bars, and swings. The zip line is particularly popular and often draws excited squeals from children.

If you're into sports, the park has softball fields, a dedicated football/soccer area, tennis courts, and three pickleball courts that attract a regular crowd of players. Open daily from 5AM to 10:30PM, you can fit in your recreation whether you're an early bird or a night owl.

Taking It Easy

Not feeling particularly athletic? No problem. Twila Reid Park offers plenty of picnic areas with shelters and barbecue facilities that make for perfect family gatherings. Concrete picnic tables dot the landscape, including a spacious covered area that's ideal for larger get-togethers.

There's also a recreation center that represents a community hub for various activities. And don't worry about staying hydrated - water fountains are conveniently placed across the grounds for refilling your water bottle during your visit.

Beyond the Usual

What sets Twila Reid apart are some of its more unique offerings. Disc golf enthusiasts will appreciate the free disc golf course that winds through sections of the park. You'll also find horseshoe pits and shuffleboard courts if you're looking to try something different.

The park's thoughtful design includes both active zones and quieter areas for relaxation. Mature shade trees provide welcome relief on sunny days, and if you keep your eyes peeled, you might spot some of the squirrels that have made the park their home.

Bringing Your Four-Legged Friends

Dog owners, rejoice! The paved walking paths make for comfortable strolls with your furry companions. You'll find dog waste bag stations throughout, making it easy to keep the grounds clean. Many locals make this park a regular stop on their dog-walking routines, taking advantage of the open grassy areas.
