Sabercat Playground at Lake Elizabeth — Fremont

Sabercat Playground is a perfect pitstop on a walk around Lake Elizabeth or a great place to play on its own. 

This is just one of many parks around Lake Elizabeth. It has two larger play structures and a short toddler play structure plus added extras around like a Sabercat climbing rock mountain with slide, tall ladders that look like redwoods, a giant spinning mushroom, shorter mushroom statues for hopping on, rock and fossil formations for balance practice.

The tallest structure has two sidewinder tube slides, a firefighter sliding pole, so many rope ladders including one in a hollowed-out tree trunk (the only way to access the two slides). There are slat ladders and other climbing options, some on logs, barrels, and crates as well as suspended tree stumps for hopping and suspended lily pads, and two bridges. This structure has a swing set close by with standard-only swings.

The smaller toddler structure is really simple with steps, a ladder, and a double slide. Nearby are bucket swings and chair swings.

In the middle is a structure with five slides (a double, two sidewinders, a long sidewinder tube, and a straight tube). The two sidewinders are only accessible by walking/crawling across a rock boulder. The giant tube is only accessible by ladder. The shorter tube slide comes out of the trunk of the tree that makes up the focus of this structure. The play area also has steps, ladders, rope climbing nets, bridges, activities, and a table for snacking.

Although there is plenty of grass around, there are a lot of geese so watch your step if you want to keep your shoes clean.

Bathrooms are close by. The parking lot is a short walk and is free.
