Oasis Park

A Desert Getaway in the Suburbs

Walk into Oasis Park and you'll immediately notice something different - those palm trees aren't just random landscaping. The 20-acre space features a desert oasis theme, with papyrus-inspired structures that create a distinct atmosphere different from typical suburban Elk Grove. Opened in 2020 as the city's 99th park, this Laguna Ridge spot features beautiful mosaics scattered throughout that really bring the desert mirage vibe to life.

Cool Off and Play

On hot California days, the splash pad becomes the park's most popular destination - and for good reason. This spacious water play area is perfectly sized for kids to run wild without feeling crowded. Parents, you'll appreciate how kid-friendly the design is, especially for younger children.

For sports enthusiasts, there are two basketball courts, tennis courts, and six pickleball courts (though be warned: pickleball has quite the following here, so you might wait a bit during peak times). The lighted soccer fields come with some bleacher seating for impromptu games or just watching others play. For something different, check out the ping pong tables and volleyball areas that round out the recreational options.

Take a Breather

Need to escape the sun? The multiple covered picnic areas provide perfect shaded retreats for family gatherings. Each comes equipped with barbecue grills and tables - ideal setups for birthday celebrations or simple afternoon hangouts.

If you're looking to get some steps in, the perimeter walking loop offers a peaceful path surrounded by greenery. The well-paved trail makes for an easy stroll or light workout session without having to navigate through the busier areas of the park.

For the Fur Family

Dog owners will appreciate that The dedicated dog park here is thoughtfully designed with separate spaces for small and large dogs. Your pups can explore natural-agility play elements across the grassy enclosure, cool off with provided water bowls, and even get cleaned up at the shower station by the entrance.

A nice touch: the city supplies tennis balls for canine visitors - one less thing to remember when heading out for some dog-park fun.

Kid-Friendly Zones

The playgrounds are designed with different age groups in mind, ensuring little ones have appropriate spaces to explore safely while older kids can find more challenging structures. These modern play areas offer plenty of climbing, spinning, and sliding opportunities to burn off energy.

What makes this park special for families is the unique sand and water fountain area that adds an extra dimension to playtime, giving kids sensory experiences beyond typical playground equipment.

Stay Fit

Fitness buffs will appreciate the workout stations positioned along the walking paths. These exercise machines create a natural circuit training experience - get your cardio on the paths and strength training at the stations.

And no need to rush home when daylight fades - LED lighting illuminates the sports facilities and footpaths efficiently, extending your park time safely into the evening hours.

Practical Stuff

Clean restrooms are centrally located, so you're never too far from facilities when nature calls. Parking is plentiful, both in dedicated lots and street spaces surrounding the park. Accessible parking and pathways ensure everyone can enjoy what Oasis Park has to offer, regardless of mobility needs.
