Jacob Myers Park

Was at the Dog Park on Thursday. One of the employees notified me they close the dog park at 5:30. I left exactly at 5:30 and no one came to lock the dog park and do a check around the trail area like they usually do. Instead I get to the exit gate and find out they locked me inside.Called the police non emergency line to see how I can get out.. I had 3 of my dogs with me and it was already dark outside at this time. Police were helpful and got a hold of the employee working at the park.She came to the gate to open it but demanded $50 in cash before letting me out. I didn't have any cash so I offered it via Venmo or Debit and she refused and demanded cash. She let me out as a one time courtesy after pleading with her that I didn't have $50 on me.Are we really endangering people who visit a park to let their dogs play so you can extort them for money after locking them inside?

This is a very lovely park, especially during the sunset ! It's also quite big and so if you're walking leisurely around it, you can spend a good chunk of your day there. There's pretty trees, some groves of trees even, and also a river + a gazebo by the river. It's a good place to walk, run, bike around, and maybe utilize the picnic tables for. My husband and his brother have even done photoshoots here before, showing that this is a pretty place to go and spend time at !

This is a wonderful park to take a walk or walk your dog. Very nice and well kept. Nice grass & hills. Has several places with nice tables and newer BBQ'rs. Again, very clean, nice neighborhood and the grounds are very well kept

A very nice park on the Stanislaus River in Riverbank. A perfect spot for a picnic, stretch your legs for a walk, get your boat into the river, go for a swim and take your dogs for a walk. I've always enjoyed areas like this - it is very similar to some of the areas I hung out as a teen in the Sacramento area in the summer. Lots of trees to help keep it cooler in the hot summer months. There is a very small off leash dog area - tho I'd advise caution before letting your dog off leash. Several times I have been here before there was a population of feral cats hanging out that my dogs wanted to chase - this time, mid October 2024, I did not see any - but check - the dog area is on the small side but still nice there is a dog off leash area - otherwise your dog must be on a leash. There is a nice play area for young children - though as a boy, I generally would have been more interested in exploring the park, maybe see if any trees were worth climbing and checking out the river - skip stones and the like. You can go swimming in the river - but be mindful of the current / it looks very peaceful but it can surprise you as it did my dog who went swimming and almost disappeared down the river as the current almost pulled her out of the park - as I had to jump into action to grab her before she went past the railroad overpass - river access past the railroad bridge is not so easy as there is no real riverbanks and a lot more foliage. There are picnic table sprinkled about and a big covered area with BBQ areas if you're having a large get together. All in all a nice little park that is a slice of life along the Stanislaus River - great place to enjoy a typical riverine environment of the big valley in California.

Been coming here since I was little, but now we mainly come for the dog park. It's extremely spacious and has an area for bigger/smaller dogs. The dog park is in its own secluded area, but you can take a nice walk towards it.

First off it's a river so running water which I prefer over lakes . The water is clear you can see to the bottom and there's plenty of shallow area for young kids to wade . There's a deeper area too for adults to swim and even an area with a rope to swing and jump in the fresh water . During the week there's no parking fee . There's restrooms and a playground area and covered picnic area perfect for parties . We went on a Friday so no parking fee and there was plenty of open space for me and my family to sit near the sandy area . If you haven't been here you gotta check it out !!!

Huge park, with lots of parking. Even excess parking overflow.Large play structures for toddlers and elementary children.With an obstacle course to top American Ninja Warrior :)Lots of swings, to everyone to enjoy.

Really nice park to take the younger kids, with a small-tykes play structure and a bigger-kids play structure, plus swings. Restrooms are right next to the play area. Right in that same area is a large covered picnic area. Parking is free Monday through Thursday but you have to pay to get in Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Be careful with the kids though because the Stanislaus River flows very fast along the park's southern edge.

Score! Found a great park within a 30-min drive from home! Lots of green grass, picnic tables, BBQ areas, playground and a river! Park is conveniently located right off of Santa Fe Rd South of Escalon. Next time if we plan it better we'll go on Saturday and stop at the Portuguese Bakery in Escalon snd take our loot to the park.Parking is $7 for the day and you're allowed to exit and return with your paid tag. Parking surrounds one side of the park and the river goes down the other side. There were lots of families and the babes loved being out and near kids her age.

I came here to check out the dog park area but apparently the dog park is closed on Wednesdays so I just walked around a bit. Looks like a great area for a picnic, going for a swim or just enjoying the shade of the trees on a hot summer day. There are a ton of feral cats here - so if your dog likes to chase cats - I highly suggest you keep your pup on a leash. The dip park part is NOT fenced in - so it is also where I saw at least a dozen feral cats - so unless your dog is totally chill about cats - I would not take my dog here for off leash activity.
