Nice little Oasis of nature in the middle of a populated busy City. Huge trees, Rollin fields of grass and spectacular nighttime views of the Moon. Very peaceful for a place surrounded by businesses. Great picnic area! There are some great Trails as well, roughly half mile to a mile and a half total.

Wonderful clean family park. Great to bring both kids and dogs. Lots of open space and green grass. Big play structure area. There is a designed walking trail with markers. The Main Library, Civic Park Preschool (city-run), Community Center, and Pottery / Art Studio are also located in this Park too.During the Holiday Season, the community ice rink is built near the free parking lot in the back. This does cause a parking problem when the Preschool is in session during the week.

One of the best parks in WC, a big hit, not sure if they will be having it this year. The ice skating rink. When I have done some charity walks in WC, we start and end at this park. Beautiful spot.

Had to take my car to be serviced just a couple blocks away. So I took my book and went to Civic Park. It was so pretty, plenty of shade. I hadnt been there for years ...When this thing is over or subsides I will go there much more often, bring my granddaughter to the playground there. .

I loved to relax and read under a tree. The park is interesting with kids place, space to be alone, but some others to be between friends. Good atmosphere inside the city. If you want to break your routine, that is a good place.

This place is without a doubt a yuppie haven. That being said this place is savvy enough to offer something for everyone. From wellness-based activities to clay-work it has it all. Check with the City of Wanut Creek for a listing of activities.
