Nice layout with some short walking paths meandering through trees. Also did I mention that it has bongos? For extra fun you can ride bikes or scooters with your littles on the Hetch Hetchy Trail adjacent to the park. You'll roast in the summer in the afternoon here so morning and evening visits are advised.

The truth is these are fields of dreams, the broken dreams of aspiring little leaguers. In all seriousness, these fields are of great quality. They are maintained because little leagues use these for their games. The only downs side is that the grass is not uniform. That means that the grass can be bumpy so watch out for twisted ankles!!!

Hot dogs were warm and had been sitting for sure.. I didn't even finish and made my boys stop eating theirs too because I got a bad feeling about it. They check bags and are pretty strict on not bringing any outside food OR drinks. My baseball player walked in with a muffin and they made him eat it before entering.

There are six baseball fields, batting cages and a large grass area for several soccer fields. The baseball fields are made up of turf in the infield and grass in the outfield. I found the fields to be in good shape considering the parks age. The seating for viewers consists of bleacher style seating with backrests. The water tower also has stairs, which allow people to walk completely around the tower and observe games from an elevated position. The batting cages could use an overhaul. The netting is pretty dilapidated in some bays. The balls do not always feed appropriately into the machines and need to be un-fouled by someone. There is fast, medium and slow pick baseball as well as softball pitch. The soccer fields cover a large portion of the park. They are thick, lush and green. They are in great shape considering the abuse the fields endure on a regular basis. The only real downside to this park is the parking situation. If there are multiple games going on or a weekend, arrive early as the parking is somewhat limited and fills up fast.

My boys had a baseball tournament this weekend and from the reviews, I expected a "bad" experience…read more I just don't think the average person comes here to say the place is "great" or "average" and that's what it is. I can't give 5 full stars because parking can be an issue for sure. We had an 8 am game, and another at 12 pm but because of the reviews with the snack shack and no food allowed inside, we packed a cooler and were very happy with our parking spot right outside the gate for fields 5 and 6. That said, can't comment on the snack shack. If you arrive before 9 am, you own coffee is allowed in. We had teammates leave that had to park in the far far parking lot upon return. There are many reviews here that say pets are allowed. That's probably soccer. Baseball, the sign says "no pets". However, I did have my service dog along, but not in her vest or identifiable as such, and I was not questioned. I saw one other golden doodle pup too (don't know that situation) looked like a family pet. So, I suspect it may depend on who's at the gate. For us, it's an hour long drive so our other pup stayed home. Just know the rule is "no pets" but you may or may not get in with a well behaved pup. My boys say the fields seemed newer, so not sure about the bad turf reviews, perhaps other fields. We were on field 5 and could also see field 6. They both seemed well maintained and turf was in decent condition. My players' only complaints were having to wear turf shoes in the outfield which is grass. It was slippery because it was wet. For those used to places like Twin Creeks that have indoor food seating and a bar, this is not that place, but the experience on the field was good for us and had warm, friendly adults and youth at the gate.

There is a small kids playground by these courts. Another part of the upper area consists of a large lawn area, which is plenty big for several different sports. There are two baseball diamonds and a medium size playground. The bathrooms are located by the baseball diamonds. Near this area is also a butterfly garden. When you walk to the lower area, there is a large gazebo which is nice for parties. There are two volleyball courts that consist of sand. The remaining area is fairly large and consist of lawn. The park parallels the Stanislaus river and there are several access points to enjoy the water. This park can get fairly busy on the weekends.

When the water is low it only comes up to your knees in most places and deep areas up to your waist. This part of the river is mostly sandy instead of rocky. The city keeps the park well maintained and there appears to a community center along with public restrooms, a butterfly garden, a large gazebo area and a volleyball area. Went on Labor Day and was surprised there were no crowds, especially since there is no entrance fee. You can either park in the park and walk to the river or you can park in a city parking area with paved trails leading towards the river. No BBQ grills or tables near the river but they do have lots of garbage bins so bring your dog, camp chairs and a picnic basket and soak in the natural beauty.

BEWARE!!! My family and I used to visit this place quite frequently for all types of events but…read moreespecially for indoor soccer. I recently visited BLD for fun to watch whatever soccer game was going on. THE AMOUNT OF DRINKING AROUND CHILDREN??? should be considered unacceptable. People reeked of alcohol.. and it was extremely unpleasant. To add on, I was interested in reffing for the summer so I thought, "Hey, why not ask the score keeper how I can become a ref for indoor soccer in the summer?" The worker told me to talk to Justin in the front office, and so I made my way. Justin offered me an interview the following day at 5pm. I pulled up around 4:40pm, and he said, "The guy giving you the interview will be here in about 10 minutes." I asked, "Is it okay if I go on the swings while I wait?" He agreed. First of all those swings are falling apart, THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND THEY NEED TO BE UPDATED. The entire metal ROD/BAR moves as your swinging. To give a visual, I'm about 5'1" and weigh less than 150 pounds. ANYWAYS MOVING ON TO THE INTERVIEW: IF YOU ARE A WOMAN I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Once my interview actually started which btw, I'm 28 years old, I teach 5th grade and I have TONS OF EXPERIENCE. However, this man who was giving me the interview BARELY LET ME SPEAK. It seemed that I asked more questions than he did... which was shocking. I learned more about him in the short 10 minutes that I was there. In other words he said, "You probably can't handle it." Little does he know the amount of trauma and experience I have working with all types of ages and people. However, he would never know since he WOULDN'T ASK ME QUESTIONS OR LET ME SPEAK. Stay far away from this business. It's terrible, and don't even get me started on Roy.
