Sunset Park

Park Overview

Tucked away at the corner of Monte Verde and Lisendra Drive in Visalia, California, Sunset Park spreads across a generous 17.2 acres of community space. This green oasis offers a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With its clean grounds and family-friendly atmosphere, it's become a popular spot for locals nestled within a quiet residential neighborhood.

Walking Trails

Lace up your walking shoes and hit the well-maintained paths that meander through the park's lush landscape. Whether you're an early morning jogger or an evening stroller, these trails provide a pleasant route through the park. The standout feature is the 0.5-mile walking loop - affectionately dubbed the Skyway by locals - which circles the entire park, well-suited for tracking your daily steps in a peaceful setting.

These paths allow you to enjoy the park's natural beauty while getting some exercise.

Recreation Areas

Grassy expanses stretch across Sunset Park, offering plenty of room for spontaneous games of frisbee or a casual picnic blanket hangout. The multi-purpose fields are particularly roomy, making them a go-to spot for soccer and football practices when the local teams need space to run drills.

For those with children, the park offers playground equipment. Clean and well-kept, these play areas cater to the younger crowd - from toddlers up to early elementary schoolers. The separate structures for different age groups mean your tiny tots and slightly bigger kids can each find their own adventure space.

And don't worry, adults - you haven't been forgotten! Some workout equipment designed just for you means everyone can get moving at Sunset Park.

Picnic Facilities

When hunger strikes or you simply need a place to sit and soak in the surroundings, the park's picnic tables offer a wonderful perch. They're ideally situated in calm areas within the grounds, making them suitable spots for family gatherings, catching up with friends, or enjoying a solitary sandwich while reading a good book.

Water Feature

Adding a touch of serenity to the landscape is a small lake where ducks paddle about their business. This tranquil water feature tends to be a highlight for families with young children who can practice their quacking skills with the resident waterfowl.

Facilities

You'll discover clean restrooms conveniently located near the playground areas - a practical detail that parents will especially appreciate. Drinking water is available within the park, so you can stay hydrated during your visit.

Four-legged family members are welcome too, as the park is dog-friendly. Just remember to bring your own waste bags, as they're not always stocked on site.

Accessibility

Sunset Park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 10PM with no entrance fee - keeping nature accessible to everyone in the Visalia community and beyond. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free, with plenty of spaces available even when sports practices are in full swing.
