Bayer Park & Gardens - Santa Rosa (CA)

3 /5 Steven Jetton: Extremely small parking lot. Sometimes, I have to park on the street when it is available. Otherwise, it is a park that has a playground for children, a basketball court, a picknick with barbecues and benches for eating, a tetherball or volleyball court, a small skateboard area with a small ramp, some raised edges for doing tricks, and a grassy area for other activities. Bathrooms are portapoties, no sinks for washing hands.

5 /5 Charlie Mitchell: Great park. Tons of stuff to do for the whole family. Skatepark, basketball, playground, exercise equipment, BBQ pits, and more!

5 /5 Robin Cronin: While not large it has a large amount of places for a hidden picnic. A few small paths are available and flowers are everywhere. Picnic tables available for those who want a proper seat for a meal. Some basic exercise equipment located here as well. There was a large group of people there that brought an inflatable play house but still check the rules before you have a gathering.

3 /5 Chip Smith: This is the larger area of which the skate park is a corner portion. The exercise station is rudimentary but at least it exists. The slightly meandering path has young trees here and there, with one small area of trees tall enough to cast a small bit of shade. The childrens play structures are small but well designed, and the flooring is soft and rubbery - nice soft landing coming off the slide or the rope ladder. We had a 2 year old and a 5 year old with us, and the play structures were a big hit, much more so than the small selection of swings. The landscaping is efficient if not inspired, though I really do enjoy the young fruit trees which were blooming while we were there.
