Sooo many ticks n spiders everywhere. It definitely needs a huge clean up. And a like shave down bc of all the wood

Great park to come visit. The ducks were the highlight for me but they have restrooms not the most comfortable but if you need to use the restroom there is one. Tables to bring a picnic which is awesome and a park for the kids to play at. All in all a great park read more

Duck! Watch where you walk or you may end up with something extra...and this isn't Raley's. There is a decent-sized parking lot and they've just opened the re-located skate park near the parking lot. Other than trying to avoid the bird poop and the aggressive ducks, there isn't much to do, unless you skate or want to gather with friends and/or family in one of the shelters. read more

My son and I love to go here it's peaceful, I'm anxious to bring my dogs over and see how they like it.

Over the years I've come to this park, I always find it my park to relax and enjoy its beauty, and the huge lake it has with the birds and ducks walking all over. The parks are mostly kept up, unless it's the weekend, and then there's liter every where from the birthday party's and bridal party's. I love how they have the huge play ground that is made of wood. They still have the original playground across from it. A lot of people complain about the bird poop and how it hasn't changed, when what is there to change? Some of the benches are marked " reservations required" and there's plenty of parking all around the park. They have basketball courts, I've seen people put up there own volley ball nets. There are two bathroom units, and most bench seatings have BBQ pits or grills. The only down side of this park is, it does attract a lot of vandalism. There's graffiti on all the park benches and the ground and bathrooms. Sometimes there's the usual homeless taking a brake and having a cold beer. But I can't judge them as long as they clean up after themselves. This park deserves some new benches, and new bathroom stalls. It could use some updating if people would respect this park better. read more

Perfect for family bbqs and feeding ducks while walking my dog. Recommend this park if youre new to the area and looking to host a family bbq or picnic or if yoyre just looking to have a chill walk in the park read more

Unique park with beautiful views. Great place for snapping some family photos, or simply watching the sunset. This is a quiet area where you can get away from all the hustle and bustle. The ducks, geese, and fish are always nice to observe and it's great to see families enjoying the outdoors while spending quality time together. read more

If you want to have a nice relaxing evening this is a place to go it's enjoyable and relaxing to spend time with family and friends

Probably most importantly I do not know if this is a Pokèmon stop or not, as I do not have the app nor play the game. However judging by some of the people mindlessly wandering through the park I suspect it well could be. This in my opinion is unquestionably Turlock nicest park. While it gets a little too crowded in the summer afternoons for my tastes, it is nice in the mornings. (Just ask my dogs) Although it's not a dog park so you'll have to leave your leashes on. (Please pick up after them-wouldn't want a Pokèmon or Pokèmon hunters stepping in something) read more

We love this place and stop by any time we are in the area if we can. A definite destination for families driving to points west to let your kids get some energy out. This is not an ordinary playground. It's a special place. read more

I grew up going to this park and recently had the opportunity to take my little one there. Not much has changed over the years. Whether that's good or not depends on what you want from this park. Donnelly Park is centered around a large storm basin (err..."lake") and is bordered by Hawkeye, Del's Ln, Pedras, and Donnelly Park Dr. The basin is usually full of ducks, geese, seagulls, and other birds. As people feed the birds don't get too close to them unless you're ready to give them food. On the southwest side is a small play area and half court for a pick-up game of basketball. There are a few picnic tables but they're usually occupied by old Assyrian guys playing board and card games. On the northeast side is a large shaded picnic area for reserved events and a larger play area for kids (and a dedicated area for toddlers). Parking is ample and if you can't find parking inside the park...well, there's perimeter parking too. Bathrooms are only open during limited hours especially during this time of year so if nature calls you better know how to hold it in or go beforehand. Now for the downsides: - Limited bathroom access as mentioned above. - No path around the basin. - Seagulls flying overhead may potentially use you or your companions as target practice. - Ducks will pester you for food. - Dead grass everywhere. - Half-court hoops...really? Then again my tike only cared about the birds and the swings...so the park did its job. She left happy. read more

Pretty nice park with, from what I could tell, two play areas for children and lots of trees to shade you from the summer heat. Plenty of parking spots in the lot and if that's full, there's street parking as well. Be warned, this duck park lives up to its name. Ducks are everywhere, so once they see/smell that bread, they will come by the flock. Since there's an abundance of ducks, there's also an abundance of poop! Just be wary if you have a curious kid who likes to pick up things or falls quite often. read more

I like this park. Feed ducks, plenty of shade, bathrooms, free parking. Wish it had a walking path around pond. Be aware of a white van with ladies. They have bibles and scare you in your car. read more

it was amazing and joyful environment. the main cons is a a lot of pets poops ,and the men toilets has no doors read more

Really nice playground for toddlers and children. Area is very clean, BBQ grills and tables available as well.

I'm not from this area, but we can here for a bridal shower. I thought the park was really nice. For the party they rented a covered picnic area. Plus there was lots of trees around, so even if not everyone fit in the picnic area, at least you could hang out under the trees and not get burned by the hot hot sun. Did i mention that it was hot. They had a really nice playground for the kids. Some of the folks were complaining about the duck poop, but I didn't think it was that bad. It was a lot better than a lot of other parks I've been to. I didn't check out the bathrooms, but I heard they weren't that great and didn't have toilet paper. That's why you should always come prepared with your own TP when coming to a park you've never been to. You just never know. read more

I think the skate park and wooden play structure is nice for the kids but there is ALOT of garbage which doesn't make for a nice walk.

Had child's birthday party here. Good covered seating. Amazing playground for kids. Lots of shady trees. Grills near picnic areas and Party areas. Ample parking. The pond had lots of ducks. A made bags of duck food for all the kids at party which was a great fun idea read more

I have lived in Turlock forever, this used to be a decent park, although there is a nice play area and big tables for gatherings, the fact that it is overrun with ducks and duck poop everywhere makes it hard to enjoy the nicer aspects of the park. read more

This park has everything a park should have including a 10 acre lake and then the city has a ban on fishing the lake, it is such a shame that we have such a nice size body of water in the city and it is wasted on ducks and garbage fish like the carp. If the lake were fished and taken care of for fishing the entire ecosystem would clean up and people would have a safe place to take their children fishing and make great family memories that they can cherish for the rest of their lives read more

Its a nice place if you dont mind steping in bird shit all the time your there. And the geese are all ways chaceing you and your eating there waiting just like these homeless that hang around there and the stores but really good place its not really its not read more
