If you are looking for a place close by to take your children for some fun you need to check out Lake Elizabeth. This is a man-made lake in the middle of Fremont that is surrounded by a great wlking path, lots of grass and numerous children's playgrounds. It is a terrific place for kids to have fun and run around while Mom relaxes (perhaps with a friend or two on a playdate). It is also very nice for picnics.
Unfortunately they no longer do the 4th of July fireworks here, but the lake is still great for daytime fun.
