Caterino Park

Park Overview

Positioned in the southeast corner of Laguna West, Caterino Park (officially Michael A. Caterino Park) is a cozy 1.78-acre green space that's been serving the Elk Grove community since 1999. While it might not be the biggest park around, this neighborhood haven offers a convenient escape for nearby residents looking to enjoy some fresh air.

Amenities and Features

Don't let its compact size fool you - Caterino Park packs in plenty of options for outdoor enjoyment. The open grassy areas give you plenty of room to toss a frisbee, have an impromptu picnic, or simply stretch out with a good book.

If you're bringing the kids along, they'll appreciate the playground that's thoughtfully designed for different age groups. Got little ones between 2-5 years old? There's equipment sized just right for them. Older kids in the 5-12 range have their own age-appropriate play structures to explore.

Picnic Areas and Walkways

Feeling hungry after all that play? Head over to one of the park's picnic areas where you can enjoy a packed lunch or snack. Some spots offer shade, which you'll definitely appreciate on those warm California days.

Just a heads-up - the park doesn't have abundant shade overall, as many of the trees are still growing to their full potential.

For those looking to get some steps in, the walking path winds through the park, meant for a casual stroll or a light workout. It's not long enough for serious training, but ideal for a peaceful neighborhood walk.
