Jack Wallace Park at Cresthaven

Park Features

Tucked away off Darthmouth Avenue and Community Drive, this 4.2-acre green haven offers a breath of fresh air for locals and visitors. The landscape strikes that perfect balance - open grassy spaces for running around and magnificent trees that cast cooling shade on hot days. Regardless of whether you're looking to toss a frisbee, spread out a picnic blanket, or simply find a quiet spot to read, the well-kept grounds offer plenty of options.

Play Areas

Kids will make a beeline for the school-aged play area featuring fun slides and a substantial play structure that invites climbing adventures. Nearby, the swing area caters to children of all ages with both regular swings and bucket swings for the little ones still mastering their balance. Both areas are kept clean and safe, making them popular spots for families.

Need a break from the sun? The covered picnic area provides welcome shelter whether it's sunny or drizzling. While not fancy, these picnic spots are clean and practical - meant for hosting a small birthday celebration or enjoying a casual lunch with friends.

Sports Facilities

The park doesn't skimp on options for the more active visitors. You'll come across a baseball/softball field for those weekend games, a basketball court for shooting hoops, and a tennis court for racket enthusiasts.

One of the real gems here are the four pickleball courts complete with a backboard for practice. These courts have become quite the hotspot but typically don't get too crowded. If you're into more traditional pursuits, check out the horseshoe pits - a nod to classic park recreation that's still enjoyed today.

Amenities

When nature calls, you'll appreciate the clean restrooms (you'll need a code to access them). They're not spacious, but they're well-maintained and wheelchair accessible - which is all you really need.

Note that there's no dedicated parking lot here - just street parking along the neighborhood roads. The park is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your four-legged friend (on a leash, of course). Just remember to bring your own waste bags as they aren't provided on-site.

Community Connection

Located within Roseville's parks system, this green space offers a peaceful neighborhood setting away from the hustle and bustle. Its clean, well-maintained atmosphere has made it a regular destination for many locals.
