I'm here every week with my dogs. Great little fenced in spot with plenty of place for my energetic…read morehuskies to run. Water bowls, garbage cans, and benches dotted around the perimeter. Usually regulars will tie extra poop bags to the fence and bring bottles of water. Because this park is a sump, garbage can sometimes wind up at the bottom of the park, but it's maintained weekly and is usually pretty clean for a dog park. The one thing this place NEEDS desperately is more signage about the rules. Last Sunday, July 11, 2021 we arrived around 8am and found a group of about 20 boys and 4 coaches having football practice. Usually I wouldn't mind this type of thing and welcome the socialization for the dogs, but the kids were not properly talked to about respecting the dog park. One of the boys opened the fence gate and let both of my dogs out, who of course then bolted out into the busy street. I feel that this could have been avoided if there were proper signs about closing the fence and being mindful of the dogs. Especially because this dog park is just the small fenced in area of a larger park, I feel like they could play anywhere and dogs really just have this one spot.

Decent local park with sports park areas. Attached to the school. It's a good place to walk the…read moredogs or to take a walk- especially when the weather is nice. Kids at night load up the park- I wouldn't recommend going after dark.

You'll find full sized basketball courts, four smaller baseball diamonds + one larger and a splash pad. We've also always see a ranger closing up towards the evening - which is nice to see. This is a great park for the community.

My review is based on the NOR Basketball League. While they…read moredo have nice basketball indoor courts with two refs per game, My complaint is the price of the NOR league has skyrocketed $35 per person up from $50, which is crazy considering they don't supply uniforms, but require it for your team. The courts have a dividing curtain, but the bell they use is too loud in general, and connected to the same system so you hear the other courts' buzzers which is confusing and annoying. If you could fix these issues and do something about the price (whether it be discounts for repeat players/team or provide some sort of customizable jerseys as part of the package would make us feel better about dropping $85 to play for 6 weeks of games.) Lastly, open basketball times need more slots and later in the evenings, most of us are at work during open gym.

Amazing park for large group events…read more My work recently held their annual picnic and opted to upgrade from Yokuts. We ended up choosing RiverLakes Ranch due to their multiple shaded picnic areas all connected via a concrete pad. We reserved all three online through the North of the River website. When we arrived a ranger was there to open the bathrooms, and had the trash bins empty and ready to use. There's also a nice childrens play area, grassy area (albeit overrun with ground squirrels) and a very nice community center. Our group was all very complimentary about the new location and no doubt we will be back!

My favorite part is the wide grass area which has held countless pick up football, soccer, wiffle ball, and any other field game. The basketball court is well kept and is a fun spot to practice skating when not in use for basketball. The playground has two nice sections, one designed for younger kids and another larger section with more advanced play equipment. They also have some of the better swings around.

Going back as an adult it's definitely changed , some for the better and some just unfortunate. I love the addition of the fountains and I love how it was relaxing and quiet for park . I love how you can see the museum's garden and I love how the play-area isn't very close to the street so kiddos don't get hurt . I had no idea it was a historic landmark so that was fun to read about . Ill be honest , the unfortunate I spoke of is all the litter in the water and around the park. I enjoyed my time here, I'll visit again .

The addition of the overhead shade coverage is a game changer on those hot summer days. Ideally located on the bike path; other highlights include a nice half-court basketball court and a large grass area my friends and I were known to play football on in our youth. The only downside is there are not public restrooms at the park, so make sure all the kiddos take care of business before heading out for a fun day.

McCray Park is a small park (1.8 acres) located in the middle of a residential area in Oildale. It…read moreis mostly grass, much of it shaded by large old growth trees. There are brightly colored play structures with bark below for safety. There is even a baby/toddler swing and two swings for older kids. There are picnic tables with BBQ grills next to each scattered around the edges of the park. I saw two large families having picnics in the park on the Saturday I was there. It seemed like a very safe green oasis in the middle of brown Oildale. As I was driving to the park, I passed an old man out for a walk. When he reached the park, he lay down in the shade of one of the trees for a little rest. I suppose he could have been a transient, but somehow I just didn't get that vibe from him. He was very clean and nicely dressed, so I'm going to asume he was just a local resident out for a walk on a very hot day seeking the peaceful coolness of the shade. Only negative was that I did not see any restrooms. This park is within walking distance of Sears Park.

There is a large play structure with a variety of activities intended for children ages 5-12. There are two sets of swings, one intended for toddlers and one for older kids. There is bark under the structure and swings to provide a soft landing in case of a fall. There are three picnic tables spread around the bark area, each with its own grill (don't forget to bring the charcoal). There are benches well situated to provide a place for parents to relax and watch their chores play. There is even a working water fountain next to the bench on the West side so you can help your children keep hydrated. The only thing missing is a public restroom.
