Southgate Park

Southgate Park is a 13-acre community park located in Hayward, California. The park serves as a central recreational hub for the local community, providing access to various sports facilities and leisure areas.

The park features a mix of active and passive recreation options. For sports enthusiasts, there are baseball fields, basketball courts, pickleball courts, and tennis courts. A playground area caters to younger visitors, offering a space for children to play and explore. The park also includes open lawn areas suitable for casual games or relaxation.

Southgate Park is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring paved walkways that allow for comfortable strolls and make the park navigable for those with limited mobility. The pathways form a loop around the park, providing a convenient route for joggers and walkers.

For those looking to spend time outdoors with family or friends, the park offers picnic areas equipped with tables and barbecue facilities. These spaces provide ideal settings for gatherings and outdoor meals. The park also includes restroom facilities for visitor convenience.

In 2022, Southgate Park underwent a renovation project to update and improve its amenities. The project, funded by Measure F1 Bond, aimed to enhance the playground, basketball court, and improve ADA access throughout the park. These improvements have helped to maintain Southgate Park as a valuable community asset, serving residents of all ages and abilities.
