Louis Park

This park boasts 4 Tennis courts, 4 softball diamonds, 1 baseball diamond, 4 handball courts, 19 horseshoe pits, 40 picnic tables, 20 bbq pits, and a newly remodeled Boat Launch Area. The neighborhood in the immediate vicinity leaves much to be desired and you'd better arm your vehicle alarm system before leaving it parked.On a happier note: My dad used to call it Dad's Point and the name has been around with Stockton locals for years. This was probably my first fishing experience as is still many local kids and their dads! (Maybe that's where the nickname came from?) This is an inexpensive place to launch your vessel whether it be a kayak, ski boat, row boat, canoe or other. The docks are beautiful and the launching area was moved from it's old location and is state of the art. Stockton, like other city's its size and larger is struggling financially but, this redo was done before the pot ran dry! This is my choice for spending Mother's Day afternoon with my husband this year; kayaking up the waterway near Pixie Woods and Riviera Heights!

as a kid I came to watch my parents play softball, then I began playing and now I go watch my aunt ... even though some of the rules of play have changed the park is the same ... one difference is that players and spectators must pay to enter ...

It's like entering a third world country,,, Trashed, People parking cars blocking the boating ramps. broken glass and abandoned boats litter the area.. Too bad, it could be a gem if policed.

Maureen,This is the first time I have heard "Dad's Point" mentioned in years. I heard it mentioned on KCRA TV this evening. I never heard Marina added to it before. Spent some happy times their 1939/40. I tried looking it up before under just Dad's Point, not Marina. My dad use to take me fishing at the Deep Water Channel. Our up stairs neighbor's took us to the dock to see a Paddle Wheeler. We had to go up a gangplank and entered a dimly lit place. I remember the Maroon or deep Red curtains as well as plush upholstered furniture. This no doubt is off the point, but had to respond to the mention of Dad's Point.
