Rudgear Community Park

It’s a great, clean little park in a nice neighborhood. Spent some time with the nephews here on Easter.

This park is awesome because it’s where I play pickleball!!! If you don’t know what it is then YouTube it. We play weekends from 9-​noon come out and try it! Friendly people and a lot of fun!

Beautiful park! Clean!
We had our daughter fifth birthday there and everybody enjoyed it!
We also try to go once a month

This is a great park to throw a party! My sons preschool secured a few bbq’s and picnic tables for everyone to enjoy. Its such a gorgeous park. There is so much room and plenty of playgrounds for all the little kids.
Our party was about 40 people total. We sat at tables or spread out blankets and had our picnics.
Kids can run freely on the large grass areas. The bathrooms are nice and clean and readily available for little ones to wash their hands.
There’s a few play structures for both larger and smaller kids. Those areas seem the most cramped and a ton of dust was blowing up from all the running little feet trampling everything.
Otherwise this is a really nice park. If you walk your dog through a large party of kids and parents, be prepared to have a massive petting episode for your dog. A great training ground for those dog owners out there.
We have all of our after school picnics here and don’t see a change happening any time soon.

It’s a nice neighborhood park. The playground was small but there was two separate playgrounds for the little ones 4 and below and one for older kids. Parking is to the back and if you’ve never been here you wouldn’t know about it until you’ve circled the whole park. We attended a birthday party here and there was some kind of kindergarten orientation that day. We were wondering how come we didn’t even know a single face in the crowd. Then we asked someone and told us that maybe they were down below to the other side where they have a field. So we went down and we saw the bathrooms and the parking lot. The field was nice and big. Not a lot of shades in this park.

Casey and Amy P. were both smiling when we saw that Rudgear Park was located at the intersection of Rudgear and Palmer Road. We stopped the car and took a picture with the street sign.
We were at the park last summer attending a shindig for a friend in town from Amsterdam. She had invited groups of her friends to all meet at the park. It was a hot day and we were happy to find some shade under trees where we had put blankets down on the grass. Nearby, some of her friends let their children play on the play structures. Picnic benches were covered in food and coolers of drinks.
The park is really big and the lawn was green and lush. Lots of area for kids to play and run around. And plenty of room left over for the adults that want to enjoy the park with their pets and friends.

This park is nice because it’s close to home. However, people need to clean up after there dogs. There are signs everywhere that not only provide poop bags, they read to clean up after your pooches. And for those that have a difficult time putting the letters together to form words, there are pictures that make sense, too.
c’mon you lazy Walnut Creek residents! If you have a pet, part of the responsibility is to clean up after your pet, not willfully turn a blind eye. It’s irresponsible, and disrespectful to your neighbors.
Speaking of being disrespectful, there are people who like to drink at the park and throw their alcoholic beverage bottles on the property, and they don’t care if they break. What if a poor animal, or child cuts themselves on that broken glass. We just did a clean-​up with the BSA, so we were absolutely mindful of all the trash that we found. Things you don’t really notice until you are looking for it. Hooligans also like to drink alcoholic beverages behind the bushes next to the tennis courts. Those hooligans are the same ones that litter, and there is graffiti back there for hooligans who can’t spell! Really? gangsters in Walnut Creek, yeah, right. wanna be’s trying to be cool and litter. Littering drags your neighborhood down. So does graffiti, and so does trespassing when the park is closed between dusk to dawn!

Love this little park! The playground has two areas… one for toddlers (2 – 5 years) and one for 5 – 12 year olds. I like the little benches all around, the easy parking and the small bbq pits if you are feeling like a quiet bbq but 4 stars because there is a dangerous cliff right to the side of this park where if you aren’t very careful, you can slip off an hurt yourself or worse… There should really be some sort of fence.
Otherwise, quiet park in a residential area… great for a lil sun and fun when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everything.
