Fremont Central Park is a 450-acre (180 ha) park that lies in the central area of Fremont, California. The park is on Paseo Padre Parkway at Stevenson Boulevard and is easily accessible from both I-880 & I-680. It began development in 1960. In the park lies Lake Elizabeth, an 83-acre (34 ha) man made lake that serves as a scenic picture for the residents who come to picnic, play sports, walk or tour the vicinity. The lake was dedicated to Fremont's Sister City, Elizabeth, South Australia in 1969. For other recreation, the northeastern side of the park consists of the large Fremont Park Golf Course.

—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
