Walnut Park

Love going for walks here when I’m visiting UC Davis

Walnut Park in South Davis offers a wide array of outdoor recreational activities including large grass fields, playgrounds, picnic benches, volleyball court, tennis and pickleball courts, barbecue pits, and off leash dog parks.

The spread out nature of the park helps to alleviate crowds even if one area of the park is more popular during soccer games

This is a big park with a little bit of everything. The fields are sunny and the picnic area is shady. Lots of tables and grills. One playground that's part of the adjacent school, another near the center, and a third on the opposite end. Several large soccer fields but they are reserved during a certain time of year. About 6 tennis courts and 1 sand volleyball court (with net). There are basketball hoops at the school. Parking is not often a problem. They have several parking lots and there is access from all the surrounding streets.

This park has a huge grassy lawn for sports. It is really ready to go for soccer with ample goals, just get them unlocked... There is a parking lot as well as plenty of street parking. There are bathrooms on sight too. There is not much shade here at the field and play structure, so bring hats and sun screen. Nice wide bike/walking path along park. Around the bend where the art butterfly thingy is, there is a dog exercise area, please clean up after your dog... Also, a volleyball sand court. Several picnic tables are nestled under the trees here. Lots of shade and a cool Delta breeze. Also, at the far end are 2 play structures that are a lot of fun! This I a nice quiet large park, another gem in Davis.

Cool park with a great playground, sports fields, and a paved path ideal for rollerblading or skating/Scootering. Bathrooms have flush toilets and kept very serviceable. Fun place to spend an afternoon as a family or to get some solo time.
