Why work on this during the summer months when kids are off school? We had to drive around to find another location but all Lathrop park splash pads are not working or out of service.

Great neighborhood park with a Splash Pad, playground, baseball fields, basketball court, exercise…read morearea, paved paths, gazebo picnic areas, couple of small BBQ's AND restrooms which is rare in most parks around here. There's plenty of handicap parking. Parking is also right next to the playground, splash pad, basketball courts and picnic area. It gets busy on the weekends; however, the weekends it's mostly the locals only. When it's crazy hot and you're tired of being inside and you want an alternative to the rivers, this is a great local option that's FREE as in paid for by our taxpayers $.

This part is pretty freaking cool. The splash pad area is smaller than the new park next to LPD,…read morebut imo it's way better. Here's why: The play structures, bathrooms, water play area, picnics and shade are all right next to eachother. As a mom with young kids, I felt comfortable sitting down and watching them run back and forth from water play to the pirate ship, back to the picnic table to grab a snack, ect. The other park in town with a large splash pad area is large enough that I felt the need to follow my kiddos around. The picnic areas here are way nicer because they have good established shade. And, for potty training parents - the bathrooms are literally right there. Across the large flat field (perfect if you want to play soccer) there was adult exercise equipment, basketball courts, and tennis courts. They even had a handicap swing and one of those cool ones for both baby and an older rider, that face eachother. 10/10 reccomend this park! As we got into early afternoon, the park got super busy and there were lots of rough older kids. We decided that the crowd was getting a little too rough for our littles so we decided it was time to go. I would say that if you have toddlers, morning hours are best before it gets super crowded.

This is a pretty new park even though it's been open a few years but I would say it's a better park…read morethan any other Lathrop park. 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

There are two playgrounds--one for smaller kids and one for kids 3 and up--with soft ground so if they fall, no scraped knees. It's very kid-friendly and well-designed. They also have pickleball courts and a skate park. The skate park is always full of happy, laughing kids--never seen any issues. Pickleball can get busy, so if you want to play, try going early or in the late afternoon. I've heard the regulars are friendly, so just let them know you want to join and it shouldn't be a problem. There are shaded tables, BBQ areas, and plenty of space to relax while the kids play. People there are always friendly, and we've had nothing but good experiences so far. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking to enjoy some time outdoors!

The staff that puts on the classes are so friendly and helpful and really make sure to give the kids a special time. The table games for the older kids are well kept up and the space is a good size for the events they have. The library is right next to it as well in the same building so that's a plus as well. The park is fun and keeps the kids occupied and it's a great space for parties. I haven't taken the kids to skate park yet so I can't speak on that but it always sounds like people are having a good time.

I love the mature trees and the walking paths that go around and through the park. Plenty of open space and grassy areas to frolic in are always nice.
