Who Doesn’t Love a Colorful Playground? San Andreas Park Is Sure to Excite!
I was surprised to find this playground just one block away from the impressive Casa Verde park. This park is much smaller in size, but there is still plenty of sidewalk and grass to enjoy along with the playground, picnic tables with bbq, and giant trees.
The playground has one tall structure, a climbing tower, and a swing set with standard swings only. The structure has three slides each from a different level, a short sidewinder, a spiral, and a very tall long sidewinder. Connecting each level are colorful plastic steps reminding me of a staircase. There are also basic steps, ladders, bells (that are oddly positioned and hard to ring… you have to wedge your arm through a banister of the staircase), and the cutest little hidden turtles.
We spent a good deal of time on the playground but we brought our bikes/ scooters with us this day and it was just the second time with the pedal bike for brother. He was so excited to ride the many well-kept sidewalks that circle the park and connect through for varying routes. Union City has really great bike-friendly parks.
On the opposite end of the playground, there is a small ball field. Across the street from the park is an exercise station.
This park has no bathrooms or parking lot. Street parking is easy. For parking that is closest to the playground, make sure to park on San Andreas Dr.
Don’t miss the poky trees (and definitely don’t fall off your bike/scooter onto them!).
