Hiddenbrooke Park

Park Overview

Tucked away at the end of Alder Creek Road in Vallejo, California, Hiddenbrooke Park is a pleasant 3.2-acre recreational space in the Hiddenbrooke neighborhood. Nestled within the Hiddenbrooke Community, this compact yet well-designed park came to life through park dedication funds from the City of Vallejo. Local residents appreciate having this public space right in their neighborhood.

Community Involvement

A notable aspect of Hiddenbrooke Park is its community-driven development. Back in September 2012, neighborhood residents gathered for a design charrette to share their vision for the space. This wasn't just a ceremonial consultation - the feedback genuinely shaped what the park would become.

The final design incorporates much of the community's input.

Development Timeline

The transformation from plans to reality began in mid-February 2014 when grading work kicked off. With a budget of $1.0 million, the park took shape over several months, reaching completion in late summer 2014.

Since then, the Greater Vallejo Recreation District has taken care of keeping the park in good condition for everyone to enjoy.

Amenities and Features

Despite its modest size, Hiddenbrooke Park offers several recreational options. Kids can burn off energy at the playground, while teens and adults might enjoy shooting hoops at the basketball court. The bocce ball court is popular with clubs and informal groups who meet there regularly.

When you're looking to relax, the open grassy areas provide perfect spots for lounging or playing catch, while the picnic area offers a place to enjoy outdoor meals. On-site restrooms are available, primarily lit by natural light to maintain the park's connection to the outdoors.

Location and Atmosphere

The park's end-of-road location creates a peaceful retreat from the busier parts of Vallejo. While primarily serving the Hiddenbrooke neighborhood residents, visitors from throughout Vallejo are equally welcome to enjoy this community space.

One of the park's understated charms is its setting - The structures blend with the surroundings, and the elevated position offers nice views of the area. It's a pleasant spot to spend time outdoors.
