A really great park for all ages. Well-maintained, clean bathrooms, lots of shade and benches, as well as lots of space/grass to run around. Also the covered picnic benches area would make a great place for a party. Includes three play structures with varying sized slides, 4 swings(2 infant, 2 child), and concrete path.

This park is very nice and has a lot of mature trees. When it rains it floods the park. They have a lot of football and soccer games here for North of the River(NOR) sports. The play structure is nice but is under some sort of construction and it also has quite a few tables with benches.

Emerald Cove Park, located on the Southwest corner of Patton and Hageman, is a great little park which I’ve been visiting on and off for over ten years, though not as much in the last two or three as I used to. Ten years ago, when my youngest brother was still in high school, we would raid the deli department at Vons and have picnics here on the grass under one of the many shade trees. Parking here is a little tricky. You can park along the curb on the West side on Patton(east side is marked no parking) or you can turn East onto Maleta, then North onto Gallio to park in the lot next to the elementary school. There are individual picnic tables spread randomly throughout the park under the trees, some with their own individual barbecue grills. There is also a large covered area shading a number of long picnic tables which were being used for a children’s birthday party on the Sunday I was there with a large bouncy house set up nearby for their entertainment. The park in administered by North of the River Parks & Recreation so I’m sure it is possible to rent out the covered areas for parties, and there are public restrooms located nearby. There a a number of recreational options available at this park. There is plenty of playground equipment available for kids of all sizes, some with bark below and some with a rubberized safety surface. There is a basketball half court complete with one basket that has a net. There is also an area for playing horseshoes with poles on either end. There is also a huge grassy area suitable for playing soccer(there was a group playing there this Sunday), picnicking, or for just running around. It has something to appeal to everyone in the family! There is even a geocache hidden somewhere within the park. Yes, I’ve found it, but I’m not giving you any clues, so don’t ask.
