Recently, the playground got a revamp. While I do miss the nostalgic charm of the old sand, I can't deny that the new design is sleek, clean, and inviting. Now, many years later, I have the joy of bringing my own child here to play. It's a special feeling to see them enjoying the same park I loved growing up, just with a fresh new look. Campus Park continues to be a welcoming, family-friendly space that holds both great memories and new ones in the making.

It's a small park with a small playground, and two tennis courts next to a duck pond. There's…read moreplenty of shade and some tables as well. Not the most impressive little park, but I'm so happy it exists! I just wish it were better maintained. The two tennis courts were empty on a Saturday afternoon when I went for my visit. Because of the proximity to the duck pond, despite the gates, there were some droppings inside the court (minimal, but couldn't help but cringe a little if a tennis ball bounced close) There are also some cracks on the court that can alter your play a bit, but I'm not a pro or even that picky and it didn't bother me that much! I still had a lot of fun playing tennis at this little park!

I visited Yokuts Park for a morning run since I've finally gotten bored of laps around my…read moreneighborhood. The trail wasn't very busy so I really got to take in the scenery. I headed in the direction of Beach Park. I totally forgot that these two were just a hop, skip, and a jump away from each other. I enjoyed my run and being able to just be outdoors. I would definitely recommend running down this trail as it's relatively easy. There's a couple small hills but I'd consider them beginner friendly. Just be aware when running under the bridge or through a tunnel as there may be bikers or other runners coming through the opposite direction.

The reason for the 3 stars is that the bathroom is usually not available for use. The female bathroom, at least.

The disc golf baskets are placed very close to the kids playground and picnic tables. It's very common for discs to hit the playground while very young children are playing. I've had a few close calls, almost being hit with a disc even when I was nowhere near the baskets. And I've seen other children and adults almost get hit with discs. They'll throw discs even while there are groups of people hanging in the area. It's just not a good idea to have disc golf at this park.

Going back as an adult it's definitely changed , some for the better and some just unfortunate. I love the addition of the fountains and I love how it was relaxing and quiet for park . I love how you can see the museum's garden and I love how the play-area isn't very close to the street so kiddos don't get hurt . I had no idea it was a historic landmark so that was fun to read about . Ill be honest , the unfortunate I spoke of is all the litter in the water and around the park. I enjoyed my time here, I'll visit again .

The park has large open fields for large field games, one half court for basketball, space for grilling, overhead coverage for eating, a nice playground for the kids, and oh yeah.. the big attraction, the "spray park". The spray park is a mini water park experience which sprays water out of various fun installations with a large bucket at the top which fills with water and dumps a large amount of water on all below. I remember when this park first opened up as a kid. The spray park was a complete game changer. The bucket seemed as large as any water parks. If you had asked me back then, I basically had the Nickelodeon hotel water park from TV for free at my local park. Whether it's the kiddos playing around in the water or us older folks dipping our heads under one of the water fixtures for a moment of relief on those warmer days, having a place to cool down is much appreciated by all.

The entire park is covered in USA flags and it is always an awe inspiring sight. The day of ceremony always draws a large crowd.

It's also good to see families and friends gather at this awesome local park. It's nice to see the the park is being reinvested in with the playground currently under construction to bring in new equipment. I'll have to post some pictures of the structure once it's done!

My best friend and I took a break from studying so that we can go for a walk here. Honestly, this park is so nice and I wouldn't mind laying out a blanket on the grass and reading under a tree. It was a refreshing place to relax our minds. I loved seeing the ducks and geese wading in the water. For the most part, the park is kept clean but it makes me sad to see garbage accumulate where the animals swim.
