Came here for a softball tournament they have 3 fields lots of trees bring your chairs and tents to stay cooler came on an extremely hot day 100+ weather having a shaded area was nice and trees were helpful. Bathroom is disgusting though need update to restrooms just dirty and no one attends to them while we were there no toilet paper and paper towels everywhere. Too many bugs and flies around the grass area bring bug spray or you'll get bit. read more

I went to Joe Herb Park on 3/15/18 around 12pm as I was conducting business for work in Merced. I decided to walk since it was only a 10 minute walk from the area I was in. This park is right next to Golden High School and near by San Miguel Rancheria Market. The park is very huge and there is something for everyone, big grassy areas to kids play grounds and bath rooms. I saw a lot of people going for walks and walking their dogs. There was a few teenagers roaming around as they were on the lunch but mainly it was empty. There are a lot of garbage cans so you need to go out your way to litter. If I am in the area I will definitely return. I felt safe, very pretty and peaceful. A great way to get some fresh air, take the kids and BBQ. read more

The trees and such aren't babies so you do get shade in other spots. It's a nice place for my kids to get off the bus at. I wish cell coverage was better in this area but it's not the parks fault :-P Waiting for my kids in a shady area is awesome. Cons: Ants and roaches everywhere by the tables. Please spray there a bit more if possible city of Merced. The water fountain is a minus in my book. Overall: Great park - much better than some "other" parks in Merced.

BIG dog park for big dogs. Stepping-stone entrance for mud, large wood-chipped area, larger grassy/agility area enclosed by dirt path.

Small dog park is a grassy area enclosed by a dirt path.

We met family from Sacramento here today, we're from Bakersfield. We have never been here before…read more It was a great deal at $3/person, since it's the 1st sat of the month. We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

Awesome place for the kids to learn and run around. Was looking for a place for the kiddos to play…read moreand I came across this. Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.

It was so refreshing, and you can dive, and there's plenty of room to spread out even when it's crowded. Really, my only hesitancy about visiting here is that it's pretty rugged on any vehicle used to drive here. Twists, turns, tight stretches of road. I had just had my brakes replaced literally before this trip and am thankful for that. I would almost want to rent a car to avoid putting wear and tear on my personal vehicles. BUT, this is a must visit and should be bookmarked!

I went to the end of the parking lot I stopped was taking a picture through my window, and a elderly gentleman walked up to me who obviously works there told me if I didn't get off the property. He was going to call the sheriff and had me physically removed. I said I was driving through and stopped to take a photo. He said that was illegal and he was gonna write me up with the ticket. He wrote down my license plate number and told me he was banning me from ever coming back to this place very disrespectful and rude.
