Stiern Park

Recreational Features

Nestled across 7.9 acres, this urban oasis offers a welcome break from Bakersfield's daily hustle. With its well-kept lawns and vibrant greenery, Stiern Park creates that peaceful vibe we all need sometimes.

The open layout works perfectly for spreading out a picnic blanket or tossing a frisbee around with friends. One of the park's best features? Those magnificent trees that create pockets of shade - ideal for lounging with a good book or catching a quick afternoon nap when the California sun is doing its thing.

Amenities

Stiern Park comes equipped with the essentials for a solid park day. Kids can burn off energy at the playground area, however heads up - the slides occasionally have some maintenance issues.

If you're feeling active, the basketball court is ready for a pickup game or some solo practice shots. When hunger strikes, you can claim one of the picnic areas with stone tables tucked beneath the tree canopy, making for a lovely outdoor dining experience.

Nature and Walking Trails

If you're more into gentle activity, the walking trails wind through the park's natural setting, offering a peaceful way to get some steps in. Early birds take note - mornings here are especially serene, with locals getting their daily exercise while enjoying the fresh air.

The thoughtful design of Stiern Park makes it work for pretty much everyone, whether you're looking to get active or simply want to sit back and appreciate a bit of nature within the city. It's definitely at its most charming during daylight hours when you can fully take in all the greenery.

Visitor Information

The gates are open daily from 5AM to 10PM. While there are restroom facilities available, they sometimes have maintenance issues, so it might be good to plan accordingly.

If you're bringing your four-legged friend along, keep them leashed since the park isn't fenced and sits near some busy streets. What makes Stiern Park special is its calm atmosphere - making it an ideal spot to reset, relax, or enjoy some quality time with family, particularly during daylight hours.
