As far as parks go in Merced, this park isn't bad. Sufficient gazebo shade with a very nice…read moreplayground. The water fountain sucks - do NOT drink from it if you ask me. 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.

I am fond of this place, for sure. It harkens back to my childhood. I just wish it was better kept…read morein the creek area. There is way too much pollution in there. I will say that all the play stuff is new and better kept. It was more aesthetically pleasing in my youth because the play area was made of wood- that I miss. My temptation is to grab some trash bags and go down there - please beat me to it.

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.

I went to Joe Herb Park on 3/15/18 around 12pm as I was conducting business for work in Merced. I…read moredecided 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.

Fenced park, lots of space. Great for off-leash socialization with other dogs and friendly owners…read more People pick up after their dogs and there are several bag dispensers. My dog is deaf and can only be off-leash in fenced areas, so we are "regulars" at this park and others. There are mature trees for shade, cement benches, and water fountains.

It's fairly clean, people pick up after their dogs and are friendly. It would be nice if there was more lighting towards the night. I get it's not meant for people to stay late, but it's safer.

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.
