Magnolia Park a recreational gem in Folsom

Magnolia Park is a gem nestled right in the heart of Folsom that offers not only a dynamic youth sports program but also a great walking trail, playground with picnic tables and benches, a huge gymnasium and two classroom-style rooms that can be rented for events and where the centers weekly art and exercise programs are held.

The park opened with much fanfare on Feb. 14, 2000, but it did not boast the well-maintained ball fields and outdoor facilities that exist today.

Park manager Jennifer Goings has had a lot to do with getting the park to where it is today by securing grants and other money to provide the existing playground equipment, sports equipment, the exceptional walking trail, sidewalks, irrigation systems for the ball fields as well as various summer camp programs.

With the walking trail being about 10 years old, we have already made some repairs and are about to make additional repairs in the next few weeks, Goings said. The trail was initially asphalt, which was sinking and cracking.

Asphalt is being replaced with concrete and the paths width is being increased at the same time. Plans also include to freshen up the playground area with additional picnic tables and landscaping.

The playground is the first area visitors see when they come in so we want to make sure it looks great, she said.

The three baseball/softball fields are lighted as is the football/soccer field.

The Fendlason Community Center is a 7,000-square-foot gymnasium suitable for basketball, volleyball, pickleball as well as special events such as receptions, dog shows, tool shows, family reunions and award banquets.

The center also boasts two classroom-style meeting rooms that open into one large room if necessary. The rooms are used weekly for art classes, Jazzercise, yoga, Pilates, wedding showers, parties, meetings and other events.

The park offers three programs in six week sessions. There are three art classes, two for adults and one for children as well as yoga and pilates. An archery session for children 9-18 will begin soon.
