Nice park to take the family or your significant other. Kids get to run and play in the grass. They have trees, grass and sidewalks to take a walk. Its very relaxing here. I got to see a real olive tree.

I have to say it! I have drove by this park every day and it never caught my attention, went for a drive with my family to get coffee (Starbucks) and some vanilla beans for the kiddos and driving by decided to stop, AND it was the place I was looking for, we sat at picnic tables and under the amazing trees, it was so relaxing and tranquil. All the nature and trees the quietness was amazing. So beautiful. Not just for familys to enjoy a walk but it can be very romantic, its a perfect place to have a picnic. There is benches under shady trees all over as well as some tables.

I have live in Carmichael for 4 years now I have never been to Jensen Garden Park until today. From the road it does not look like much but today we wanted to take my kids to let them run around somewhere nice that wasnt crowded so we pulled in parked and walked across the bridge and was shocked to see how big and beautiful this place is. Theres tons of small trails that go around the park it was easy to take my stroller around and its wheelchair accessible. Its very green lots of trees there is a bunch of benches to sit on under the Shady trees theres also a few tables you can eat at. Its a very quiet tranquil place to be its family-friendly and also can be very romantic. This is our new favorite spot.

Review №36

I am surprised that I never knew about this park before. My friend showed me where it is located and I was pleasantly surprised about how well maintained everything is and it is a perfect place to sit and read a book, or walk around. The only complaint is that the parking lot is mostly dirt and if you have a low car, it can catch the ground. Other than that, it is a lovely place.

This place is so magical! Its too cool to see the plants and wildlife transform throughout the seasons. Its not the largest of gardens, but its plenty to explore with my toddler on an afternoon! Lots of benches, hills and stretches of grass. Love this place.

If youre looking for some natural beauty, this is the place to go. Theres a little trail with every plant having a placard so you know what is what. We had a photoshoot here and it looks amazing because its green and lush and just amazing. Not somewhere youd go everyday but an awesome place for that special occasion nonetheless.

Review №46

As the stars indicate, it was ok. It was pretty underwhelming and several areas were not labeled. I realize this is a volunteer ran facility but a few more identification labels on the plants would have gone a long way. If youre in the area I would still recommend checking it out as it is still a pretty area.

Very cute botanical garden. Lots of different species of plants. The park goes all the way back to a little community garden. Nice place to take a spring walk! There is this one blach grass there that I had never seen before, it was cool. I am going to plant it in my yard.

Ive lived in Sacramento for 35 years and only discovered this sanctuary this week. Its lovely and quiet. Great place for a picnic.Note: they do not have a playground. They do have beautiful paths and its a good place introduce kids to hiking.

Jensen park is a wolderful garden. It has a very calming effect even though it is next to a busy street. The trees seem to dampen the street noise, making you feel like you are in a separate world. We went on a rainy day and the cool freshness of the garden was invigorating. In Jensens day, the early garden had many Japanese Maples, although few are left....I hope they eventually replant those maples.

Beautiful park and beautifully kept. I take the dogs here for a short walk. But like many parks, gets a little sketchy close to sunset. So go early and do some yoga on the lawn or walk the dogs

This place is a great place to decompress. The lot on the fair oaks side needs some improvements. If you have a lower clearance on your car be warned.

Free to visit. Limited parking. Beautiful gardens of flowers, shrubs and trees. Our end of March visit meant most flowers were in full bloom. Great place for a picnic lunch and wildlife watching. Unfortunately, you can hear the road noise from Fair Oaks Blvd, however it is still worth a visit.

This place is so cute and relaxing! My boyfriend and I went here on a date, we always drive past it and always wanted to check it out. Starts as a shaded plant area then you walk a short pass through the park to the large community garden. It was so cute and entertaining to walk through it and see everybodys mini garden and their rocks. We got to turn the compost piles as well(: it was quiet the whole time, really a nice picnic spot.

A beautiful, well maintained garden with lots of signage. It is free to visit, but its not a park. I didnt notice any restrooms and many paths are unpaved and might be muddy. On my visit I couldnt figure out how the Nature Path For The Blind works.

Probably thee worst “park” you could go to. Although the nature was beautiful, the people there are awful. Someone sat and watched my friend and I do an outfit change to go do more pictures and as we were away, approximately 20 mins, someone smashed my back window and stole our purses!!!! There was a lady that had been sitting at the bench facing the parking area and supposedly didn’t see anything. I highly recommend against coming here or make sure you have no valuables in the car at all!

This is a great place for a break or a short stroll. Today we met a new friend (see images). He was crowing but I dont think he knew he was 12 hours early or 12 hours late. We noticed that a nature walk for the blind was added. It has a lot of textiles with the names also in braille. Check it out if youre nearby!

Small garden park with muddy well defined paths. Some labeling on the vegetation but needs more. There is a Braille sign posted path but I dont know how easily it would be to find the posts for a blind person.

Review №98

Personally not that big. Probably the size of a small park. Couple of benches. And not that much flowers. A trail that leads to random trees and the community garden. Plus you have to have permission to take amature or professional pictures. Not worth it.

Quaint little park. In the winter, there seems to not be much maintenance done, however the Olive trees are always beautiful!
