    This park has had it's high and lows. After Using the Modesto GoApp, the parks division fixed all the rubber areas and did their best to reinforce the areas heavily used around the play equipment. I rarely see rift raft or trouble at this park, nor homeless trying to take over this park. I feel safe taking my kids here so far, more then I can say about other parks in Modesto. The water feature gets turned on from 2p to 5pm in the Summers so kids can play, since the City destroyed all the community pools at most parks. (They just cant manage money well fir many factual reasons) When the Junior high kids get out at around 230pm, be aware it can be chaotic for little children.

    This park used to be great once upon a time; however, the rubber floor has holes everywhere and some swings are missing. The play area is not so clean either. It looks like this place never received any TLC or maintenance. The sprinklers/fountains look nice but I am not sure how sanitary the water is. The picnic table / eating area has a nice gazebo-like covering. Some more picnic tables along the sidewalk but they need some cleaning. The grass is very well kept and clean ironically; the entire park is getting old and dirtier but the grass still looks great. Older kids (middle schoolers) play in the fountain and and then climb all over the park slides, etc making it all wet and unsafe for little kids. It's nice for a picnic but I wouldn't recommend bringing your kids here to play on the playground equipment.

    I call this park the water park, it has several inground water fountains the kids love to run and play in, in the play ground. The entire playground has the soft cushion ground so kids cant get hurt that easy. Just love how its always so kick back and not to many people here.......Take my kids here weekly during the warm weather months.... Look for the Vato in the lawn chair reading a lowrider magazine.... that would be me. 722!

    Notice the MISSING Swings on the right that should be hanging and the black POTHOLES on the ground

    This park S U C K E D. I appreciate what they had, but it has not been well taken care of AT ALL. I can tell that in its "hey day" this park was really nice. The playground was completely worn out, swings were missing Even my kids were like, "Lets go, this is the most boring park in the world" We had only been there not even 5 minutes. I love they had the "red white and blue" and the stars all over to represent freedom, but shit, did they mean Freedom from maintenance? Goood Night... There is this area there that has all these rocks in them, it looks like it used to be filled with water, but I can understand that due to the severe drought conditions in California that it would be dried out. They do have bathrooms on site, but I didn't go in them. NO WAY, I thought to myself, if the playground isn't being well kept, what makes me think the bathrooms are?

    Clean well groomed park with nice water attraction. It also has plenty of shade trees and benches to relax and supervise your children

    Needs some TLC.

    We have been coming here since it opened. We have had b-day party after b-day party here. With the water area and b-ball courts two play areas it works out great plus the big BBQ grill. When the Savage kids get out at 2:45 it gets packed for little while and those kids can be a bit of a handful. Some things do need attention from the City of Modesto. Overall my youngest wants to go everyday.

    Very good my girls had a lot of fun in this weather. Needs a little upkeep on the safety rubber mat. Bathroom was clean.

    Freedom park fun!

    To have a party here is it first come first serve?

    Yes it is. Modesto city parks doesn't take reservations for the gazebo/picnic table areas.

    they take over the play equipment for about 40 minutes, do not watch out for the little ones...

We only stayed one night, but we really made the most of it. We enjoyed the water park for two full days and spent at least 2.5 hours there each time. My son especially loved our Wolf Den room and got such a kick out of the bunk bed. It made the stay feel extra special for him. We also did Build-A-Bear, played arcade games, joined the free arts and crafts, and enjoyed story time and the dance party. The property is so well organized, and they really seem to have thought of everything when it comes to entertaining kids. Breakfast was honestly the highlight of our morning. They had everything you can think of and more, and it was delicious. We paid for it as part of our package, and I believe it was around $35 for two people, which felt like a steal for the amount and variety of food. I know some reviews mention cleanliness issues, but that was not our experience. Our room was very clean, and we had no problems. The water park was busy, but not overwhelming. I think the best time to enjoy it is around 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., before the next wave of guests starts arriving. The only thing I would note is that the restaurant is overpriced, but that is probably expected for a popular resort like this. My biggest tip is to go on a weekday if possible. We checked in Tuesday and checked out Wednesday and got an amazing rate of $139, which felt like a steal. Overall, Great Wolf Lodge is high-energy but so much fun. If your child enjoys water play, themed rooms, and kid-friendly activities, it is definitely a must-visit at least once. I would absolutely take my son back, maybe once a year or after several months, so it still feels special.

    It would be nice if they updated their website since we are in the digital age…read more They charge everyone the same price and if your kids are smaller than a certain height, it's maybe a few dollars off. The larger water slides were closed, which was the main reason we wanted to come here but didn't get to experience. Had they mentioned on their website that the slides were not available, we would have planned a different day or brought younger kids instead of the big kids. The cabanas were not held down by anything and it was a windy day, I almost got hit by the cabana flying. Maybe have them closed and when someone does purchase it is when you would open them up for the guest. I don't know if people really reserved any cabanas but a few were being used but closer to closing time so I don't think they really reserved them and people just sat there since it isn't getting checked in my opinion. I don't miss like that bathrooms are available in the front and back of the park. The front bathrooms in the check in area have lockers and showers. There is also a bathing suit spin dryer. It seems for the lockers that if you bring your own pad lock you can store your things if needed. It's great they allow you to bring in food but not in coolers but bagged food take out is ok. There is also food available for purchase in the back. Treats and desserts in the front middle of the water park. Parking is shared with the community building not close to the entrance. So for my disabled friends like me, we had to walk even from a disabled parking spot. The park does provide tables and chairs. The cement picnic tables in front are near the treats vendor store. I don't recall what type of tables are in the back near the food but there were more there and by the kid's splash pad area. I would like to return when the large slides are open but I call next year and find out till then.

I brought my…read moredaughter on their opening Day June 1st as they were celebrating its 70th Birthday and had a carnival, cake, face painting, magic show all included with admission which was thoughtful! If I remembered correctly admission is $6. Rides are $5 for 3 rides. (They only have 3 rides: boat ride, train ride, & carrousel) OR $9 for unlimited rides wristband. We ended up getting the wristband but it wasn't worth it, as the park was extremely packed and the lines for the rides were pretty lengthy, we only got on each ride once, but I'm sure on a regular day with no event happening, it's worth it to get the unlimited. Carrousel was so fun, goes pretty fast. Train ride was funny with all the things you pass and see along the ride, and the tunnel was the cutest, get ready to get your phone out and take a video. They even have a little water park so be sure to pack an extra pack of clothes for the kiddos unless you don't mind them getting soaked and getting back in your car. They have a food stand with foods like hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, chili, chips, shaved ice, fountain drinks, etc. We didn't purchase food here but prices ranged from $4-$8 I believe. This was a great way to spend a few hours and let your kids run around, play and tire them out. I'd definitely bring my daughter back. I am pretty bummed, there opening day my daughter & I stood in line for face painting for 1h & 35m literally and it was during the time that they passed out the raffle it was 70 $70 gift cards and apparently my number got called while in line & I didn't hear it and it's not like I had anyone to go get my prize for me. So by the time my daughter got her face painted and we went to give them our #. They said they called it out already and literally handed out the last gift card to someone. So that was pretty sucky. It's okay though. We had a great time and it was a great event. Their hours of Operation are: June - July 2024 Thursday - Sunday 10am - 4pm August - October 2024 Saturday & Sunday Only 10am - 4pm

We felt comfortable allowing our children (ages 11 and 8) to walk around the park and return to our bungalow on their own because the area felt safe and well-managed. We especially appreciated having a dedicated host assigned to us. Rylan did an excellent job throughout the day. He was communicative, professional, friendly, and genuinely concerned about ensuring we had a positive experience. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Overall, we can see that the park has made adjustments to better meet guests' needs. For example, the use of QR codes and digital ordering options made food purchases more convenient. One improvement we would love to see in the future is the automatic application of seasonal passholder discounts when guests are signed in and ordering through the QR code system. Since our account information is already connected, this would make the process more seamless. We did encounter an issue with the food. We ordered several pizzas for our group, and unfortunately they arrived undercooked and doughy. As a result, much of the pizza went to waste, and we had to order additional food. We shared this concern with a member of the management team, who was very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, I do not recall his name, as I do not believe he was wearing a name tag. The pool area was very well managed. We felt our children were safe, and there appeared to be an adequate number of staff members actively monitoring the swimming areas. We appreciate the attention given to guest safety. We do believe a dress code should be enforced to better align with the family-oriented environment of the establishment. Overall, we had a great time and appreciate the efforts being made to enhance the guest experience. We look forward to returning in the future.
