Paddock Park is a modern park that's a favorite among locals. With recent renovations and a convenient location within the Bay Meadows development, this park is a perfect place for a sunset stroll or even your morning jog.

Enjoy a day with the family at this sweet little park complete with restrooms and an open-lawn area for leisurely activities. A half-sized basketball court will keep your players happy for a quick game of Horse, or you can walk another block if you want to play soccer in a huge field open to all. Parents say the play areas are well thought-out and include plenty of interesting activities for toddlers and little ones. A new sandbox is another welcome addition to this park for toddling toddlers who love to explore, and there’s even an area to rock your little ones to sleep on the baby swings if they are a bit fussy.

Reservations are available for picnic tables with grills for $50 a piece, but there are also drop-in areas with picnic tables you can use free of charge.
