Davis is adorned with numerous parks, most of which are networked by The Greenbelt and thus accessible by bicycle. In Davis' parks, you'll find frisbee golf, horseshoe pits, archery, a fishing pond, soccer/baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, an area for R/C gliders, BBQ grills and picnic tables, basketball courts, batting cages, dog areas, town art, volleyball courts, a rock climbing wall, exercise courses, a fire pit, swimming pools, roller and street hockey rinks, amphitheatres, a skate park, toddler play areas, a carousel, fountains, drinking fountains, wildlife, and all of the usual amenities.
Map all the parks by going to Davis Map (select only Parks and Recreation) or visit the official
parks page provided by the City of Davis.
An
editable google map of parks and playgrounds in davis is under construction. Eventually all locations should link to park pages on daviswiki.
