PARK HISTORY

This 12.2-acre community park was named after the longtime Livermore teacher, May Nissen, in 1962. The pool was constructed in1963 by LARPD and home to the Aquacowboys for many years.

In 2009, the baseball/softball field was renovated and renamed the Randy Johnson Junior Giants Field after hometown boy Randy Johnson, a Hall of Famer and five-time winner of the Cy Young award for professional baseball pitchers.

The award-winning playground park was renovated in 2019 and features the May Nissen Swim Center, group picnic reservation areas, basketball courts, restroom building, horseshoe pits, multi-use sports field, tennis courts, pickleball courts, baseball/softball field, dog park, and a preschool.

The dog park is an approximately 15,000-square-foot fenced dog run located behind the library and picnic area.
