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
