BEWARE!!! My family and I used to visit this place quite frequently for all types of events but…read moreespecially for indoor soccer. I recently visited BLD for fun to watch whatever soccer game was going on. THE AMOUNT OF DRINKING AROUND CHILDREN??? should be considered unacceptable. People reeked of alcohol.. and it was extremely unpleasant. To add on, I was interested in reffing for the summer so I thought, "Hey, why not ask the score keeper how I can become a ref for indoor soccer in the summer?" The worker told me to talk to Justin in the front office, and so I made my way. Justin offered me an interview the following day at 5pm. I pulled up around 4:40pm, and he said, "The guy giving you the interview will be here in about 10 minutes." I asked, "Is it okay if I go on the swings while I wait?" He agreed. First of all those swings are falling apart, THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND THEY NEED TO BE UPDATED. The entire metal ROD/BAR moves as your swinging. To give a visual, I'm about 5'1" and weigh less than 150 pounds. ANYWAYS MOVING ON TO THE INTERVIEW: IF YOU ARE A WOMAN I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Once my interview actually started which btw, I'm 28 years old, I teach 5th grade and I have TONS OF EXPERIENCE. However, this man who was giving me the interview BARELY LET ME SPEAK. It seemed that I asked more questions than he did... which was shocking. I learned more about him in the short 10 minutes that I was there. In other words he said, "You probably can't handle it." Little does he know the amount of trauma and experience I have working with all types of ages and people. However, he would never know since he WOULDN'T ASK ME QUESTIONS OR LET ME SPEAK. Stay far away from this business. It's terrible, and don't even get me started on Roy.

It's near an elementary school but not as close with a whole grass field between. The pathway that's between the school and park is wide and shady, filled with places to sit, workout and eat. There is a restroom at the park and on the Slate Street side closer to the school. The water splash pads runs continuously during the day in the summer because the water is recycled and filtered. They have city workers that check up the area regularly. I see them in the mornings when I go for a walk sometimes. They added a new pergola type area next to the tennis courts. More tables to enjoy and a bbq pit I believe The parking is pretty much street parking but it seems that a lot of the visitors are from the area so they most likely walk to it. Ice cream trucks, well vans come by and sometimes the school would invite Kona Ice usually on Wednesdays sometimes. Kona would usually be on the Slate Street side FYI

They provided us with a fishing pass for visitors. With in 5 minutes of being there and elder man pulled up in a white Toyata Prius telling my son that he's going to call the cops on him for fishing illegally . Keep in mind again my son is 6 years old in kindergarten. When we show the man our visitors pass we asked him to please apologize to our son because he was very scared and crying nervously thinking that he was going to get arrested. We wanted him to just say that everything was going to be okay and he was sorry. This man could not even own up to his own mistake, and when we asked him to tell her I said it was okay he just drove off. In my book I call that a coward. Within about 45 minutes to the hour we were there fishing we got approached by five different people. Asking us asking us if we had our fishing pass or if we were catching and releasing. Someone even stated they said they saw us filleting a fish? ? I had to start laughing at this one ... Really ? lol It was obvious we were not welcome and were made to feel like Outsiders. If they took the time looked at the situation it was easy to tell we were abiding by all the rules keep ourselves just trying to enjoy the day. These elder folks of Del Webb have nothing better to do than to be extremely nosey & or harass us and a 6 year old kid. I'm surprised how very agressive and rude the people were . Instead of asking us how our day is going? Or if we caught any fish? We were getting bullied buy the Elder community. We were just just trying to enjoy a good time visit our grandparents enjoy some of the nice amenities the community has to offer. Again got to save very disappointed big let down by the Del Web people today. Hopefully next time we have a better visit.)

This is the actual dog park in Lathrop. There are several reviews of this park under the Mossdale…read moreLanding Community Park page, which is NOT a dog park. This park is long and narrow, and is great for large and small dogs, in two separate areas. There are dog waterers available, and both areas are terraced into multiple levels. Plenty of grass and room to throw balls or discs for your doggy to chase. The grassy areas are well maintained, and there aren't any mud pits to speak of. Some trees for shade, and benches, too. Also, it appears that owners are picking up after their dogs, because we haven't seen a lot of surprises in the grass. This park is a bit of a drive for us (~25 minutes), but sometimes it's worth it. ETA: This park features sally port entries for additional security. Dogs entering or leaving have to go through two sets of gates.

Well, thank those who created and founded this parkway. I haven't read the other reviews but…read morefinding like a place to park and walk is a pain in the ass. I gave up and parked on lathrop road where it's intersecting the Tidewater Trail and theres a traffic light that has that trail name. that's the only traffic is the possibility of pedestrians and maybe a parked car(s) in this ditch or something whatever it's called but i didn't want to park there because of this private property sign. I parked on the side of the road (close to the intersection) where the cavalry community church food distribution center is; the opposing side has no parking any time signs, and so does the side that I parked BUT on the left of this church entrance which is like a half a mile or so down. And actually there was a car parked already too. I want to say it should be fine where I parked. I left about 8 and it was still parked there. Anywho, I was Walking my small dog on a leash, and got onto the trail. It's funny because i see this trail almost everywhere on some streets seeing the tidewater bike trail arrow signs. Finally, I walked on it. There are other people walking and also on bikes. There are posted signs with guidelines at each street intersection. There are dog walkers too and yes there leashed and big ass pit bulls where wanting to get near my small dog growling; I walked on the opposite side and I'd be sure to glance back here and there, and keep your headphones volume low just in case. I came across a park called northgate park and there's a walkway "bike trail ends" which leads into the park. And I seen a softball game with kids, cheering and applauding and a few spectators on the trail also. It's pretty recreational and I just may choose this park next to just go on the trail. Anyhow I continued walking and this goes a long, long long way, 7 miles!! And I only walked just 3 miles one way and walked back to my parked car. This is indeed a bike trail, and I'd want to get a bike soon. And there's low star reviews on here complaining that the trail/road isn't good enough For their skates or skateboard. Pshhh gimme a break. There's a small skate park for that, which is also on the trail too. Trail isnt hard to miss, just look for arrow signs at each intersection when crossing the street. I'm looking forward to more of my future walks here. ...........damn 24 hourfitness had to close which I only had membership so this is how I exercise.

Tidewater Bikeway is a North to South oriented paved Bicycle Path located almost in the center of…read moreManteca. IMO, Tidewater Bikeway is an inappropriate name for this Walking / Jogging Path. The paved Bikeway extends from the center of the city at the NorthWest corner of Wilson Park to the northern part of the city at around the 700 block of Lathrop Road, probably a total of less than four miles. The Southern part of the Pathway is at Moffat Road. The Pathway parallels Moffat Road for about two miles down to Spreckles Avenue. The route is really not challenging enough to classify it for someone with wheels would use, whether it be Skates or Bicycles... it's just too short a route, and there are mandatory stops at all major intersections. And that break from Center to Moffat... you can literally get lost! At every major intersection there are Pedestrian Push Buttons that control the operation of Traffic Lights. Water - There are Drinking Fountains, usually located at the South side of the intersection of every cross street - sized both for kids and adults. I usually fill up my water bottle at the Lathrop Road drinking fountain before riding back to Lodi. Rest Stops - There are benches to sit on, located intermittently at the side of the paved Bikeway for those that need to rest up. The intersections also provide a minute's pause before continuing on... Safety - I've biked the Bikeway every time I've ridden my Bicycle to Manteca and unlike most Parks which are just magnets to transients and the like, the only people I've seen are actual Walkers, Joggers, or Bicyclists. Even though I've never been there at night, the Bikeway seems to be lit at night with the numerous Light Poles that line the Bikeway. At the center of the Bikeway Path, about ten feet West of the Path itself, is a Phone which is encased in bright Yellow plastic attached to a pole which can be used for Emergencies - unfortunately, there's only one... and you have to know where it is... Convenience - A user can get off the path at any of the major intersections to get to Main Street within just a few blocks East. And there's many Parks and Baseball Fields within a few steps of the Bikeway. The Path, itself, is only ten feet wide, but the path is directly in the center of a strip of land about 20-30 yards wide that is essentially a narrow Park. It is immaculately landscaped and maintained... every time I rode through the Bikeway, it's been clean as a whistle. But not very many people use it, it seems. ***** - Joggers, Walkers *** - Bicyclists, Skaters - despite my criticism, though, I've used the Bikeway every time I've ridden to Manteca... maybe it's not so bad after all... Update: 07-30-2010 This year, I've noticed that there's evidence of Budget cutbacks in Manteca that results in reduced maintenance of the Bikeway... extensive weed and grass growth, reduced watering of the lawn portion of the Bikeway, and evidence of burrowing mammals taking over certain parts of the Bikeway. But the citizenry of Manteca in certain portions of the Bikeway, especially in portions that is adjoining to a residence backyard, the residents have used their own water supply to hydrate the lawn area! Cool!

However, through the years, the neglect of this park is starting to show dramatically. Roads are torn up, overgrown trees oftentimes scratch RVs and way too many stray cats. Our last two visits with friends were ruined due to faulty electrical equipment but worst of all sewage backup into the camp site. This is unacceptable but more importantly, pretty sure the health department would find this to be in several violations. We would be so disappointed to have to stop coming here but these issues are happening at different sites, not sure we want to be part of a crap shoot. SJ Parks department, please do better for your customers. UPDATE: Someone came and sprayed the area. All he accomplished was to spread the sewage leak to a bigger area of the campsite. EWWWWW
