This is a very lovely park, especially during the sunset ! It's also quite big and so if you're walking leisurely around it, you can spend a good chunk of your day there. There's pretty trees, some groves of trees even, and also a river + a gazebo by the river. It's a good place to walk, run, bike around, and maybe utilize the picnic tables for. My husband and his brother have even done photoshoots here before, showing that this is a pretty place to go and spend time at ! read more

Jacob Myers Park - The beautiful creek by the park - Parks Near Me - Riverbank, California

Was at the Dog Park on Thursday. One of the employees notified me they close the dog park at 5:30. I left exactly at 5:30 and no one came to lock the dog park and do a check around the trail area like they usually do. Instead I get to the exit gate and find out they locked me inside. Called the police non emergency line to see how I can get out.. I had 3 of my dogs with me and it was already dark outside at this time. Police were helpful and got a hold of the employee working at the park. She came to the gate to open it but demanded $50 in cash before letting me out. I didn't have any cash so I offered it via Venmo or Debit and she refused and demanded cash. She let me out as a one time courtesy after pleading with her that I didn't have $50 on me. Are we really endangering people who visit a park to let their dogs play so you can extort them for money after locking them inside? read more

Been coming here since I was little, but now we mainly come for the dog park. It's extremely spacious and has an area for bigger/smaller dogs. The dog park is in its own secluded area, but you can take a nice walk towards it. read more

Jacob Myers Park - Dog park - Parks Near Me - Riverbank, California

A very nice park on the Stanislaus River in Riverbank. A perfect spot for a picnic, stretch your legs for a walk, get your boat into the river, go for a swim and take your dogs for a walk. I've always enjoyed areas like this - it is very similar to some of the areas I hung out as a teen in the Sacramento area in the summer. Lots of trees to help keep it cooler in the hot summer months. There is a very small off leash dog area - tho I'd advise caution before letting your dog off leash. Several times I have been here before there was a population of feral cats hanging out that my dogs wanted to chase - this time, mid October 2024, I did not see any - but check - the dog area is on the small side but still nice there is a dog off leash area - otherwise your dog must be on a leash. There is a nice play area for young children - though as a boy, I generally would have been more interested in exploring the park, maybe see if any trees were worth climbing and checking out the river - skip stones and the like. You can go swimming in the river - but be mindful of the current / it looks very peaceful but it can surprise you as it did my dog who went swimming and almost disappeared down the river as the current almost pulled her out of the park - as I had to jump into action to grab her before she went past the railroad overpass - river access past the railroad bridge is not so easy as there is no real riverbanks and a lot more foliage. There are picnic table sprinkled about and a big covered area with BBQ areas if you're having a large get together. All in all a nice little park that is a slice of life along the Stanislaus River - great place to enjoy a typical riverine environment of the big valley in California. read more

I haven't been here but looks like a good family spot.just woduring if any good fishing spot along this park?

There are a lot of signs telling you not to do things. It was kind of depressing. A lot of chain link and barbed wire. The park itself was nice, but probably would not go back. read more

First off it's a river so running water which I prefer over lakes . The water is clear you can see to the bottom and there's plenty of shallow area for young kids to wade . There's a deeper area too for adults to swim and even an area with a rope to swing and jump in the fresh water . During the week there's no parking fee . There's restrooms and a playground area and covered picnic area perfect for parties . We went on a Friday so no parking fee and there was plenty of open space for me and my family to sit near the sandy area . If you haven't been here you gotta check it out !!! read more

This is a wonderful park to take a walk or walk your dog. Very nice and well kept. Nice grass & hills. Has several places with nice tables and newer BBQ'rs. Again, very clean, nice neighborhood and the grounds are very well kept read more

Score! Found a great park within a 30-min drive from home! Lots of green grass, picnic tables, BBQ areas, playground and a river! Park is conveniently located right off of Santa Fe Rd South of Escalon. Next time if we plan it better we'll go on Saturday and stop at the Portuguese Bakery in Escalon snd take our loot to the park. Parking is $7 for the day and you're allowed to exit and return with your paid tag. Parking surrounds one side of the park and the river goes down the other side. There were lots of families and the babes loved being out and near kids her age. read more

I came here to check out the dog park area but apparently the dog park is closed on Wednesdays so I just walked around a bit. Looks like a great area for a picnic, going for a swim or just enjoying the shade of the trees on a hot summer day. There are a ton of feral cats here - so if your dog likes to chase cats - I highly suggest you keep your pup on a leash. The dip park part is NOT fenced in - so it is also where I saw at least a dozen feral cats - so unless your dog is totally chill about cats - I would not take my dog here for off leash activity. read more

Really nice park to take the younger kids, with a small-tykes play structure and a bigger-kids play structure, plus swings. Restrooms are right next to the play area. Right in that same area is a large covered picnic area. Parking is free Monday through Thursday but you have to pay to get in Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Be careful with the kids though because the Stanislaus River flows very fast along the park's southern edge. read more

Well maintained and great for the whole family. See my caption regarding the bathrooms. ;) read more

Honestly a great park! With access to the river, you can enjoy a full days worth of fun. The water is clean and refreshing. They have a park for the kiddos and even bathrooms. Definitely a fun place for a barbecue or just a relaxing day in the sun. A ton of optional shade is available as well. The atmosphere is very nice everyone is have a great time. Keep in mind there are occasionally some bugs, but nothing big spray can't handle. All in all I definitely recommend Jacob Myers Park. read more

I always enjoy taking my dog for a walk here and today my kids came along with us. The park was peaceful and we enjoyed being out in the cool air. The walking path is a great nature walk and we always finish off with walking down by the water. I'd recommend this park to anyone. read more

In the 4 years since moving to Riverbank we have LOVED coming here! Just a VERY short walk over the bridge from our house. We usually take the kids and the dogs for them to play in the huge park, or to take the dogs for a walk around the 2 mile nature area. Perfect for those who enjoy walks its right along the 'riverbank' tons of BBQ areas for those that want to have little parties and even a huge covered area that can be reserved for the bigger festivities you wanna have with your family. Just this past summer a price for entrance during the weekends has been implanted. $5 bucks, but since we literally live 4 mins away we just keep our cars parked at home or drive to te corner market to "unload" all the BBQ items and or swimming gear for those days it's hot and the kids can go for a swim. Dog Friendly, and generally very clean beach area. Get there early enough to get a good spot to hang out use an umbrella an enjoy the water! **They begin Charging for parking from May to September *** read more

Took my baby girl down the trail to the dog park. She loved it. DOG park will be closed February 15th- end of March for new turf grass! We can't wait. Hope too see it grow, maybe once the weather gets warmer it will be more busy. I wish there were more dogs there for her to play with. read more

Great park right on the Stanislaus River. There is a fee to park on weekends between May and September, $5. The water level is fairly low here and the current not very strong, so it's great for wading. You'll definitely want flip flops or water shoes to go in. There is a large pavilion available for rent, lots of BBQ pits. There are 2 large play structures, 1 for big kids and 1 for little ones. Lots of swings. I'm docking 1 point because there can be some dodgy looking people there during the week and lots of people smoking next to the playground. Lots of people putting tubes in the river here too. Overall a great local gem! read more

Jacob Myers Park - Enjoying the river, easy access at park - Parks Near Me - Riverbank, California

So clean and pretty! Definitely coming back once it starts to warm up. I'd be hesitant to go in the water without a life jacket though, the water flow was very strong and fast. There are various signs near the water saying to wear life jackets and to use caution. read more

Love this park! Actually going back in a few days. During this pandemic it is really great to have a place to let the kiddos play in water and be in nature. Park has security driving around at all times which makes me feel very safe, many signs for social distancing and all the times I've been here others have respected this, the staff is always helpful and courteous and the park is maintained very well. Only warning is, glass is prohibited but I did see some glass in the rocks so make sure to wear swim shoes at all times. read more

This is a very well kept park. Probably because no alcohol allowed. It's clean, big and peaceful

My baby girl and I and my friends all LOVE this place. we go here all the time since I found it. Kids can play at the playground, Adults can do BBQ, and you can go for a walk on the trail. If you go for a walk in the late afternoon, be careful about the mosquitos. it's really an awesome place! 这个地方非常好玩，水很清很净很浅，小孩大人都可以玩，还有滑梯秋千等小孩玩的地方，大人可以烧烤，还有个大凉亭可以坐下来吃东西，非常凉快。往公园里走有一条可以散步的小径，我还没去过，但看着很不错，有很多阴凉。如果是下午四五点去的话要喷防蚊水，河边总是难免会有蚊子。总之是个很棒的地方。 read more

This place has been one of my favorites. They only allow a few cars in due to COVID. They want everyone to keep social distancing so letting less car definitely helps with the distancing. read more

I love this park. Since I moved to the area I have already came at least five times almost every week. Huge area to bring your barbecue if all the other barbecues are taken. But there are tons of barbecues and tables to use. Weekdays are perfect weekends can get a little busy. A lot of security roaming the place. Which is very good and makes my family feel very safe! A lot of parks have no security which brings very rough crowds that just make noise and smoke and drink. This park is very family-friendly!! read more

This park is nice to spend the afternoon. We took our two young boys but the river was high and the current was fast so even with their life jackets, I didn't feel comfortable with them getting into the water past their calves. Plus it was ice cold, almost painfully cold--other people were playing in it, but I'm not into that. Make sure to your bring a wagon or something to roll all the items you bring (chairs, towels, BBQ stuff, etc) because parking is not convenient to make several trips back and forth. Bathrooms are as to be expected at a public park, and the park employees are constantly rolling around to keep things in order. I felt safe with them being proactive. There is plenty of shade but a shade pop up tent would come in handy. The playground is lots of fun and keeps kids busy if the water doesn't. The slides can be scalding hot so be careful if your kids are wearing swimsuits or shorts. read more

I've been coming to this park for about 12 years. I went a couple of years with out coming because there was an nasty smell but it's gone this year. The only bad thing about this park is glass in the sandy areas often found by my kids and the staff is really micro managing the place. I seen one of the staff literally pointing her finger and yelling at a guest threatening to call animal control and the police because a 5 year old threw a pebble at a duck and was chasing it. The staff has no regards for personal space and is very rude. They are very controlling and there presence isn't pleasant. When they leave hopefully the next workers will do there jobs, control what they need to control but otherwise be unseen unless they're helping guest. read more

This is a very nice park with great access to the river, a nice shady play area, lots of great spots to drop a blanket, and a fairly nice walking trail with a gazebo. Unfortunately, the management made having an event there unbearable. I attended a Celebration of Life at the private gazebo and was appalled at how rude the management (or whoever it is that drives around in their golf cart and monitors the park) was to the people who were trying to put on the memorial. First, there were issues with misinformation between multiple persons in management about using the private gazebo, then while trying to have the event (which you could imagine was sensitive and very personal and emotional) a woman in a golf cart came around nearly every 15-30 minutes admonishing our host about anything and multiple times the issues were unfounded. For example, she thought we had alcohol because one attendee had a Arizona tea can. The final kicker was while the father of the deceased was saying his last words, the woman came back and very rudely interrupted that we needed to wrap it up. While cleaning up, my boyfriend went and spoke nicely with a security guard letting him know the event was a memorial as we would be out as soon as we could. The guard, dessed in full police uniform, emotionlessly told my boyfriend he didn't care and if we weren't out in ten minutes, he'd lock the gate and call police to give us trespassing tickets. As we exited the area, two security guards, one with a bullet proof vest, and their two vehicles, one a K-9 unit, flanked the road. It was imposing, rude, and such a turn off to ever have an event here even though the park itself is so nice. We were not a rowdy group, had multiple children under 10, and were just trying to have a nice, relaxed, memorial. I didn't even put on this event and I and multiple other guests were completely appalled at the treatment by the staff. Main Point: Park is nice but management and security are incredibly rude. Don't have an event here. read more
