Glenn Hall Park

Glenn Hall is a park, not a building on campus! Ahh, this park is one of my favorites for college memories. There’s wide open space that we would use to play football, kickball, volleyball, barbecue, and so much more at. It’s a highlight of summer with events such as Pops in the Park going on and it continues into the Fall semester to be a nice and personal place for friends to hang out at.

Glenn Hall Park is at the far end of River Park, a small «island» neighborhood adjacent to CSUS. It has a large community pool, updated & fenced children’s play structure, soccer and softball field and two tennis courts. Weekend parking can be difficult as river goers descend in droves, due to the American River access here at Paradise Beach.
As of April ’15, only one of the tennis courts has a net, and the courts are in ⁶⁄₁₀ condition with cracks and the occasional weed popping through.
The pool is popular and it’s in great condition, as is the kids’ play area.

Went to the Glenn Hall Park Pool today for the first time. Can’t express how much my kids and I loved it. Clean, huge, 3 lifeguards who were very professional, really on watch.
I felt very safe there and the kids had a blast. There was a very large pool with a large amount of shallow end for the beginners. Not at all crowded when we went. Lots of places to sit or have lunch.
We will be returning often…

Great place to walk the dogs! Tons of activities and parking. River is generally kept clean and people are respectful of your personal space.

this review is for access to the levy/​river. Park at the park and walk toward Paradise Beach and enjoy! Obey the signs… take out what you bring in and keep the are beautiful.

What a great park! Tennis courts, swimming pool, huge field for soccer and maybe baseball?
I go here to park and take my beasts swimming in the river. Up over the levy, slight right and turn down the path to a little lagoon that provides ample swim room out of the quick current of the river.
Usually other dogs to play with, it’s out Saturday morning wear the dogs out so I can have some peace spot!

Clean serene place with parking lot & restrooms (bring your own toilet paper). Great place for ppl to walk their dogs. Not much of a place to go biking, there’s a lot of sand & the trails are narrow.

This place is kind of small but it has almost everything. Theres 2 tennis courts, a swimming pool, soccer field, and a baseball field. Theres also access to the river as you’ll also see a lot of Sac State people heading to the riverbank. It seems like theres a party everyday but don’t worry it doesn’t get rowdy on the park grounds. Tennis courts have nite lights and trees provide shade on those hot 100 degree Sacramento days.

i have such fond and amazing memories at my beloved Glenn Hall park. i spent many summers at the pool, bracing myself for the first plunge in the ICE COLD water. no wonder i now love hot/​cold therapy! my cousin and i would bike over to Paradise Beach and lounge our summers away getting the best tans we’ve ever had.
over the years they’ve made excellent changes like adding a «gate» around the kids playground with a No Dogs Allowed sign clearly posted– perfect for the little ones to run free with out a nasty surprise left in your car. they’ve hosted Pops in the Park– a great neighborhood gathering for all ages.
if you’re going to take your dog (s) over for a walk, please leash them before they’re out of your car! there’s nothing like your little dog getting stampeded by a great dane and 1 sniff away from a full on violation.

Location is great, quiet, right on the levee. Nice to park and take a walk. Can also use the tennis courts.

if you are going to paradose beach located over the levy at glen hall park is a pretty good place for the kids n mostly toddlers. the water is not deep at all and there is a sandy area aswell. the reason i could not give 5 stars is that it was also a hang out for collage kids that did not filter their actions or language. also it was not diverse at all.

This is a review of the PLAYGROUND ONLY. Compared with other playgrounds in Sacramento, the Glenn Hall Park one is relatively large with about 20,000 square feet inside the fence (judging from a satellite image). It is fenced all around, but the gates were both held open the day we visited.
Amenities include an «Adventure Play Area» for 5 – 12 year olds, a swing set with 4 swings, a sand area with three backhoes, and one picnic table. The trees shade the area fairly well. It’s clean and attractive. Rest rooms can be found near the pool. A parking lot is close by, and the on-​street parking is good. Neighborhood is nice.
Overall, a great place to take your young child.

Cute little park in East Sac. Nice and quiet neighborhood… kinda reminds me of Greenhaven by the river. I’ve been here twice for my Kaia Fit class. It has a pool, beach, playground, and a baseball diamond. Lots of trees for shade. They also have a doggie area at the end of the park. So if you have kids… pets this is a great park for entertaining them.

My favorite new place to take my dog. Glen Hall Park is in a pretty nice neighborhood and easy to find. I like to go to the beach area, which has lots of soft sand and some beautiful spring flowers about now.
There is a spot before you get to the main river that has a beach and some still, overflowing water, which is great if you’ve been looking for a place to swim or cool off your dog. The water doesn’t rush too quickly like a lot of other spots along the river. Although this spot seems to be drying up, I think there is pretty good access to the main part of the river as well.
My dog also likes to chase rocks and there are plenty to throw. In addition to a killer beach spot, the park has a pretty decent playground for the kids and a pool. There is also a grass field if you have kids in the area that like to play field sports as well.

This is a quaint little neighborhood park with a lot of foot traffic on a weekend day, so I’m surprised to see only one other review for the place. I stopped in to get some fresh air and connect with Mama Earth while out talking with some various local business owners. It’s small, lush, well-​maintained, with a great play area if you have kids. I especially like the number of picnic tables and shady areas where it’s easy to completely pass out due to too much relaxation. Not that that’s a bad thing, I just don’t want to be mistaken for a vagrant. Overall, this is a great spot for the family or a young lover’s retreat.

Our neighborhood park. Recently the City has added a fence to completely surround the play area, so the little ones can’t escape. Your basic climbing structure with slides and steps, a great sandpit with tractors, and a swingset. There are also generally a pretty good assortment of «community toys» left to play with. Bathrooms are right around the corner and picnic benches and tons of shade make it comfortable.
