Reviews
"Diamond Park has much to offer, including a swimming pool. A delightful creek runs across the northern edge of the park. There is a trail that leads past the bridge that connects to Park Blvd. The trail is quite technical and requires excellent footwear and caution. The rain has eroded the pathways in places and makes hiking here exciting. Pack dry socks if you attempt the hike past the bridge, creek crossing is necessary, and I only noticed one suitable place to keep shoes out of water."
"I signed up for an art workshop at this park, and it was an absolute delight. The talented instructor provided all the necessary materials, and the setting under the trees and by a tranquil pond was inspiring. The quality of instruction was exceptional, and I created a masterpiece I'm proud of. The workshop fee was modest, making it a fantastic value for both beginners and experienced artists. I'm definitely coming back for more creative sessions!"
"Cute little gem hidden in the hills. I enjoyed a nice sunny day there with family and friends. There are tennis courts, public restrooms, barbecue pits and 2 playgrounds for the kids. There are also plenty of benches and open spaces to have a picnic"
"This is a beautiful park with giant redwoods that greet you along with tennis courts, picnic area, playground and a public swimming pool!!! As you walk east up along Sausal creek it becomes very wooded and shady. This would be an amazing place to play as a kid because there are some many places to explore. If you’re looking for a nice 2 mile hike start at Dimond Park and hike upstream and then take the Old Canon Trail back - you won’t be disappointed!"
"Dimond Park is filled with shade from the trees, a nice breeze flowed under them. There are three play areas, a pool, tennis court, basketball court, a little soccer field, trails, picnic areas with a lot of sitting and the center. There were a couple events happening at the park. One was a group doing yoga, a church had service and youth selling home baked goods."
