Simpson Park, named after the longtime, active Elk Grove resident David A. Simpson, is one of the larger, multi-functional parks in the community. Adjacent to an elementary school, the park has tennis courts, half-court basketball, soccer and baseball fields, a playground, benches and picnic tables. The playground has swings, slides, a wobbly bridge and climbing equipment. The park is also one of the few with an outdoor grill, making it perfect for barbecuing.
