Flood Park is a twenty-one-acre urban oasis in the middle of Menlo Park. The park has twenty-seven drop-in family…More picnic sites and six group picnic areas.</p> <p>Flood Park is famous for its large native oak and bay trees. The Park has facilities for many activities, such as swimming, softball, tennis, horse shoes, volleyball and petanque.</p> <p>The grounds are busiest during the summer months; visitors can often find families picnicking, children playing in the playground and softball teams using the large diamond.</p>

Children let their imaginations run wild on the brightly colored play structures at Nealon Park.  Their laughter…More is most audible during the summer months, when parents bring their children here for picnics and sand castle building sessions. Each playground area is walled off, so parents can worry less about their little one running off to other areas out of their sight range.</p> <p>Older children as well as adults who are young at heart can take advantage of the tennis courts, softball field, and various picnic tables.</p> <p>The tennis court requires a key which can be acquired for a fee at the Burgess Recreation Center.  Menlo Park residents pay $45 per year and non residents pay $100 for tennis keys.  Proof of residency is required at the time of acquisition.</p> <p>Take note of the surface of the picnic table in the photo. You might want to bring a table cloth if you're planning a picnic here, otherwise your utensils might fall through the table's ventilation holes. </p> <p>Also, if you own a car that is low to the ground, park with care; there's a dip in the asphalt before the parking spaces.</p>
