Emerald Glen Park — Dublin
Emerald Glen is a vast park with fun playgrounds, a water play area and sports fields for a truly memorable day with your family.
This 48+ acre park offers baseball fields, soccer fields, softballs fields, bocce ball, tennis courts, basketball courts, skate park, cemented walking paths, picnic/bbq areas, and a rose garden plus other neat art and fountains found around the grounds and The WAVE indoor swimming pool with an amazing outside waterpark. So much!
There are two play areas. The first playground is pretty open and spaced out! There is a parking lot right next to this play area as well as bathrooms. There are TWO structures and a rocky hillside area with two slides (straight and tube). Kids can climb up the hill in a variety of ways including the raw rock side or the evenly carved out steps. The rock face has some neat “fossils” for the little archaeologist! Speaking of archeologists, the sandbox has a dinosaur skeleton so don’t forget your sand toys!
The larger structure has four slides (two tubes, a bumpy, and a spiral), steps, ladders, a bridge, educational activities, multiple levels, peekaboo bubbles, steering wheels, music chimes, a sitting bench, a zipline, monkey bars, and monkey rings and a gymnastics bar close by.
The smaller structure has a spiral slide, steps, ladders, a bridge, a steering wheel, musical chimes,
In the center of the play area, there’s a water splash pad that has sprayers from the ground, sprayers from above, sprayers from a rainbow, and more! This is a perfect spot to escape the heat during the summer. Check Dublin Rec’s page for information on if the water is on. On top of it all, there's a swing set with both bucket and standard swings.
The second play structure is way smaller with a slide, steps, ladder, swings, climbing net/wall, and swing set. Behind this smaller playground is a large hill you can walk up and get a pretty good look at all this park has to offer.
There is plenty of parking near both play areas plus open bathrooms!
