My two year old usually has no issues on play structures but this one tested her abilities. I'd say best for older kids overall. With that, there was still a number of fun things for her to do like play on the rock wall, swings, the hammock style swing, climb on the alligator, explore in the dry creek and we even rolled down the giant hill. We collected leaves, little pine cones, and watched squirrels in the dry creek. The shade trees were so nice, because it allowed us to beat the heat and enjoy being outdoors a bit longer. The park also has a water refill station to help you stay hydrated. No bathrooms, so go before you come, but definitely a fun little outing for a local park!

This 5 acre Park includes a Baseball Diamond, Horseshoe Pits, Picnic tables and a couple of children's play structures including Swings as well as a vast grassy area for Children to run around or have a game of Frisbee. The center of the park also has a well shaded Gazebo unlike any of the other Parks in Mountain House which makes it perfect in those hot Summer months when temperatures soar to over 100. Water fountains can also be found alongside the Gazebo too.

Someone tried to enter…read morewith a golden retriever, who clearly is over the 20 pound limit, and my dog got excited and wanted to greet the dog, as did a lot of other dogs. I was on the grass cleaning up my dog's poo and as I was walking back I saw a man try to kick my dog. This man also has a dog that is over the size limit for the small dog park. Obviously, I called out this man for trying to kick my dog and was told by someone else that they don't really follow the small size limit (clearly posted on the fence), it's more on temperament. This man then tried to get everybody to agree that my dog was aggressively barking, but I didn't hear anyone jump on his band wagon. I have seen both the golden retriever and this other man's dog at the park before. About two weeks prior the golden retriever was involved in an incident with a French bulldog. My dog is not an aggressive dog at all. There isn't an ounce of alpha dog in him. He likes to greet the dogs when they come in the park and in this case, there were four or five other dogs also greeting this golden retriever. I don't know why it was my dog this man had a problem with. Anyone who tries to kick a dog who is in no way in any type of confrontation, fight, conflict, harming another dog can't be trusted.

Robertson Park is home to the annual Livermore Rodeo. I grew up on a ranch in SoCal and often…read moreattended rodeos with my family. It's been a long time since I've been to one and the fond memories of my childhood were rejuvenated. Upon arriving at the venue, the line of vehicles to enter Robertson Park was backed up, so we decided to park outside the park and hoof it in. On this occasion I was taking my daughter and her boyfriend to the rodeo. I had pre-ordered tickets so I was ensured a seat in the grandstand. This rodeo is known for selling out every year. As we were coming upon the entrance we were greeted by animal rights protesters. They were handing out flyers protesting animal cruelty. I politely said no thank you and proceeded to enter the venue. Upon entering we browsed the line of merchants selling western products and saw my friends booth (check out Pieces by Danielle on instagram). We then grabbed a corn dog and proceeded to out seats. Thank God I paid extra for coverage in the grandstand on this hot day! The cowboys and cowgirls participated in roping events, bronco riding, barrel racing and bull riding. My childhood dream job was to become a rodeo clown! We really enjoyed the rodeo and especially my daughter's boyfriend. This was his first rodeo! Can't wait for next June!

The neighborhood in the immediate vicinity leaves much to be desired and you'd better arm your vehicle alarm system before leaving it parked. On a happier note: My dad used to call it Dad's Point and the name has been around with Stockton locals for years. This was probably my first fishing experience as is still many local kids and their dads! (Maybe that's where the nickname came from?) This is an inexpensive place to launch your vessel whether it be a kayak, ski boat, row boat, canoe or other. The docks are beautiful and the launching area was moved from it's old location and is state of the art. Stockton, like other city's its size and larger is struggling financially but, this redo was done before the pot ran dry! This is my choice for spending Mother's Day afternoon with my husband this year; kayaking up the waterway near Pixie Woods and Riviera Heights!

There's also some barbecue pits that you could use. It has restrooms with flush toilets as well as drinking faucets. Overall, this is a very nice park just on the small side. Keep in mind that this park is very close to a lot of brush. That means stay out of the brush and check carefully for ticks if you do happen to go near the brush. Here are a few videos to show you the park

"Scary Alligator (or was it a Crocodile?)"…read more This open space and trail is part of the East Bay Park system. It is definitely NOT the crown jewel of their park system. For a long time, it was just a dirty old parking lot and a poorly maintained trail. The big old parking lot is still there, but there are some nice additions behind that area. There's a good-sized parking lot off Tassajara. From this point, the park really doesn't look like much. Well, you're about half right. There is a trail that leads out of the park, and if you go left you join up with another paved trail, sort of like the Iron Horse Trail. This trail is well maintained and looks quite new. If you take the trail out of the rear parking lot and go right, a trail continues next to the US government property for about a half mile or so, then just sort of peters out. There seems to be a homeless person living near this area, next to the creek, close to the US government fencing. I started to go underneath a big oak tree, then spotted some strange looking pieces of trash. I did not go any further. There is a new, well-designed bridge crossing over the creek. Believe it or not, the bridge is actually a site worth seeing--beautiful woodwork along the top edges of the bridge. You can see the giant concrete pieces from an old bridge. If anyone has a photo of the old bridge, please post. The only photo I have shows it in big pieces. There aren't many facilities in this park. There is a big outhouse in the dirt parking lot. That's about it. Oh yes, here's the rest of the story: Near the old parking lot, there are some wood piles. One big log looks like an alligator snout. I admit I jumped when I first saw it. Then, I realized that this area probably doesn't have many alligators. A friend of mine explains that seeing animals in nature is a sign of spiritual wisdom. I'm sure he's right. Check out the alligator photo I posted. Scary, huh?
