    This was a really nice park to go to for the kids. They have bbq grills and picnic tables. The bathrooms are there but we're not opened. The drive here is one of the only bad things about going here. The road is narrow, and random pot holes and dips. Also you will lose service going out there.

    A beautiful hidden gem!…read more This is a peaceful park to take a stroll and look at our local wildlife. When you arrive, turn right down the gravel road into the parking lot. There is ample parking with a bathroom directly next to the lot. Walk just past the bathroom, and you will be greeted by the start of the nature trail. There are some informational bulletin boards there about the native plants and animals which makes for an interesting read! The main trail takes you under a beautiful tree cover to a fork that diverges into two other trails. The trail is completely flat until this point where there is a very slight incline. Both trails after this are flat and have beautiful views. One trail is longer and loops around 3 miles. The other, the Brush Rabbit Straight, is a little over 1 mile. The longer loop leads to a little lake and the other follows the creek. Along both trails you can find tons of wildlife. This place is huge for professional bird watching, and trust me, you will see a ton! There are rabbits and coyotes even if you don't see them, so be sure to tread lightly! If you come to visit, make sure to keep your voice down and watch out for animal scat all over the trail and enjoy your time!

    Beautiful place to walk around and explore with the naked eye or with binoculars. The wildlife is…read moreplentiful, although I only saw bugs and birds, I saw evidence (ie. scat) that proves other larger animals are also in the area. This is a peaceful place for an hike walk, not true hike since there's not any hills to climb. Learn from my mistake and do t come here on a 95+ degree day! It was so hot and there's minimal shaded areas along the trail. It's mostly marsh and tall reeds. There is a trail lined with trees but unfortunately the time of day I visited the sun was beating down and didn't give us much shade. If you are adventurous and aren't cranky in the heat, I still advise to bring lots of water. Parking is plentiful in the dirt lot and there's a bathroom (doesn't flush just a hole) at the start of the trail.

    This is a medium sized park in the area, and the space can be used for many different thing. First,…read moreif you are driving or walking by, you'll notice that trees ring the park. This is really nice because it provides shaded areas to hangout in without obstructing the open are. In this tree lined area there is a pick nick table area that is easily accessible from the street, and there has to be almost 10 tables. So, plenty to go around. There are also 2 BBQ pits on opposite sides of the table area. The playground is also within or by the shaded ring area. So, parents bring your kids and let them play while you chill in the shade. There is also a basketball court, and a beach volleyball court. I think you have to get a hold of the Parks and Recreation division of the City of Modesto because there is a lock on the gate for the volleyball court. One of the best parts of this park is the very large open space that they have. I have driven by this park on the weekend and have seen multiple kids soccer games going on at the same time. Also, ultimate frizz bee and football are excellent uses of this open space. I was there this morning and a guy was chucking a ball for his dog. This space is large enough for a multitude of different activities to go on at the same time. There are also bus stops that run along this park, so if you want to use public transport to get here, that is an option. I give this park 5 stars because a park is what you make of it, and there is a lot of potential here. So, come here and have a good time and make use of this park.

    We had a privilege of going on a " Path of the Padres" guided tour here at Los Banos Creek…read moreReservoir on 2/25/2018 Sunday. There's no exit from 152 or I-5 to get to the reservoir , you'd have to drive to Volta Rd , then on to Canyon Rd to get to the boat launching area. A little winding but not too bad. A beautiful lake full of wildlife , while we were riding on a tour boat we saw a couple of ospreys , deer, koots, herriers , red-tails ( hawks). While we hiked our 9 -mile trail , we saw tons of cows, footprints of raccoons and deer, coyote scats . Bobcats and mountain lions been spotted here also. We learned history of Yokuts Indians , saw a could of acorn grinding holes on a rock, learned about the native plants such as wild cucumbers, Willow , dark blue elderberry trees and how the Yokuts Indians used to use them for medicinal purposes. We were welcomed by the nice cool breeze and the warm sun while we hiked but it was freezing cold while sitting in a boat. Luckily , we were prepared and had our down jackets , scarves and gloves. The tour is guided by two extremely knowledgeable and friendly park rangers. Richard has 14 year of experience in this area and very knowledgeable about the Yokuts Indian and the history of California. Nathan is a very skilled boat operator and friendly, skilled outdoor ranger. They made this experience much more memorable and fun. We hike an extra mile and a half to see the abandoned barn and houses by Basque immigrants. Old abandoned barns were pictureristique . It was fun watching the cows grazing up close and walk away as we approached them. Two of the ospreys we saw were so beautiful and majestic. They were perched proudly on the tree branches. Some area of the trail are very steep , narrow and slippery. We had to do some creek and river crossings. I wouldn't recommend it for small children but they do offer school trips there. Overall, a great outdoor experience of hiking , learning and a boat riding. $20 per person for the tour and you have to register through California State Park website. Tours only offered on the weekends during end of February to April.

Had a great time flying my Pittbull fully ballasted the first day in 15 + mph winds till sunset. Next day the lift wasn't so good, but I had a great time flying other planes. I told my other RC Glider buddies and they are stoked to make a trip up. Talking with Jorge and knowing this great park is so welcoming to RC Glider and RC planes, I will sure plan another trip out here in 2022.

Their process is very inefficient. The policemen in this city is useless very much. They are victim blamers due to the fact that they don't want to do anything they just want their stomach failed with food and parade as if they are doing something but they are actually not doing anything. It's a waste of money for the taxpayers to have these people in place. They need to be replaced with people who can really do a good service for the city. The city of Patterson when they disconnect services, they will send it through your mail instead of putting it into your door. If you are a person who is very busy traveling to San Francisco to work you don't necessarily go through your emails on a daily basis so having a warning on your mail is not a very efficient way of giving warning for your bills. They will hang a warning on your door only after they discontinue the service or water service. They need to do a better job in giving warnings to the bills that wasn't paid before disconnection. Instead of just disconnecting your water supply. The policemen need to do a better job in solving crimes in this city as well. When they are being called, it takes forever for them to respond. They should be in another job because they can't do a policeman job properly.

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
