Houde Park

A Piece of Elk Grove History

Positioned in the charming Stonelake community of Elk Grove, California, you can find Houde Park - a cozy 4.2-acre green space that's been a neighborhood treasure since 2002. This peaceful retreat is part of the Laguna Stonelake Benefit Zone (Zone 12), giving local residents a place to unwind and connect with nature.

The park carries the name of Glenn R. Houde, who served as superintendent of the Elk Grove Unified School District from 1969 to 1983. During his 14-year tenure, Houde guided the district through significant growth and helped shape the educational landscape that Elk Grove families enjoy today.

What You'll Find Here

While modest in size, Houde Park offers well-maintained green spaces excellent for picnics, reading, or simply soaking up some sunshine. The network of walking paths makes it ideal for a casual morning stroll or an evening walk to clear your mind after a long day.

The park's integration into the Stonelake community gives it a neighborhood feel - a quiet spot where you can escape the hustle and bustle without venturing far from home. It's the kind of place where you might recognize familiar faces and exchange friendly nods as you enjoy the simple pleasure of being outdoors.
