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!!!

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.

Mistlin sports park is easy to spot due to its iconic tall and white water tower. The sports park…read morecaters to baseball, soccer, flag football leagues and many other sports. 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.

Our grandson played at Mistlin Sports Park all three days over Memorial Day weekend. The complex is…read morelarge, busy, and clearly hosts many tournaments and families from all over. What saddened me, however, was that there was not a single American flag displayed anywhere on the entire complex during Memorial Day weekend. For a facility that charges admission and hosts multiple separate fields, it seems there should be at least one flag honoring the meaning of the holiday and the men and women who served our country. I truly hope this is something the park and tournament organizers will consider changing in the future. The Memorial Day tournaments at Mistlin were part of larger regional baseball events this weekend.

This is the biggest general park in Ripon. It is a pretty large scale park with an upper and a…read morelower area. The upper area has 4 horseshoe pits and bocce ball courts. 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.

Beautiful fields for softball tournaments with maintained bathrooms and a clubhouse where you can…read moresit inside in AC and still watch the games. That's all a plus. They make a big deal about the fields being replicas of major league stadiums but I've been to many major league stadiums and I didn't see the resemblance. It's regularly 90-100+ in Manteca during the summer and they prevent you from bringing in Gatorade for your kids who are playing, sometimes in back to back games, on turf where the temp is easily increased by another 5 or 10 degrees. Sounds dangerous and highly irresponsible, especially for children who are not used to living in or playing in this heat. There also just isn't enough shade built into the facility. The clubhouse gets packed and so do the few shaded areas. Since those are the only spaces that are ADA, they are also the only spaces where you can wheel and store wagons to cart chairs, umbrellas, coolers of water etc. So the clubhouse spaces between tables and the shaded walkways outdoors are packed with wagons and people trying to avoid the sun/heat and then no one can easily get through. You have to go through the clubhouse to get from one stadium to another if you have a wagon, or walk all the way around in the scorching heat. It's a fire hazard really. On their website, it says you cannot bring outside food either but when you get there, after driving for more than an hour, you learn you can also bring fresh fruit. Well thanks. Would have been good to know that before we headed here and left fresh fruit at home. The website rules also say you can't have music. We played between inning music and walk-up music all season but left the speakers at home because of the rules. When we got here, other teams were playing music. We learned that the rule doesnt apply to youth. Again it would have been nice for that info to be clear and available in the planning stage. Lastly, you can't bring in food but their food court is expensive ($33 for two orders of chicken tenders and fries with a small drink) and there aren't enough options, especially for those with dietary restrictions or just an interest in not eating fried food or pizza. This place has a lot of promise but needs to shift from an "if you know you know" mentality, since it draws people from hours away who will only know if it is on the website and clearly stated.

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.
