Michael Faklis Park

Nice park for a bbq get together but you gotta get there early to get the one area picnic area. The tennis courts are nice but used for other sport activities which is annoying when you want to use it. The bathrooms can be cleaner but it's a park.

A friend just introduced me to this park and prior to that I can only think of of a handful of Stockton parks that I would be interested in spending time at. This place is a hidden gem! There is a cute playground area, lush places to picnic with plenty of shade, it's dog friendly and you can take a long walk back behind the park on the levee that has some great scenery. The walk is quite close to neighboring houses and people don't seem to remember to pick up their dogs feces but overall this is a great little park and I would really recommend it for families wanting to get out and spend some time together to relax and/or play.

Good for a walk though it's only about 2 miles. It's blocked of and is not paved at a point beyond a gate you come to at the west end. It be great if dog owners picked up after their pets. Way too much dog mess on the trail and in the park. You literally have to watch your step even looking ahead doesn't help. It's ridiculous but the only thing that bothers me. Also, I've never had any issues but you should be aware that there's an encampment beyond the water. It's entry is on the Trinity parkway side at the curve of the trail. Again, never had an issue, the people are usually minding their own business from what I've noticed. However, can never be too careful. Always be aware of your surroundings.

I love this place! It's very big. The side for big dogs is a huge play area for our fur babies. It is gated so they are able to roam without getting out. It's connected to the small dog side so they play sometimes along side the gate. The reason for the 3 stars, since covid they have shut the water off ! And that's not fair to our dogs !! So i so enjoy this park bug bring your own water,

Pros:* Huge vast playing area for playing sports.* Nicely divided dog park for your small doggies and normal-sized doggies.* For the most part... (2-3 days after) it's kept nicely clean considering the many events (baby showers, bdays etc.) it attracts.Itty bitty con:* The park is still fairly new, so don't expect too much shade here.

Very nice and clean park. We got a good spot, in the back area of the park, back behind the basketball courts. There were enough trees to provide plenty of shade for us and it was the perfect day to be at a park all day. Weather was so nice. There were other parties happening and a lot of people but no problems at all. I didn't use the restroom but others at the party did and they said the restroom was clean. We used the grill and table which were clean and there was a trash nearby. This is was my second time attending a birthday party at this park and both times were good experiences. My son enjoyed himself, playing basketball, football, in the playground and then basketball again. 12 year old boys tend to get bored easily but my son and the other kids were able to stay active and have a good time.

Love this park so much. It's the only park I feel safe at walking at any time of the day.There's so many events that go on here!- the same dudes playing basketball LITERALLY on the daily.- soccer practices- football practices- baseball/softball practices- parties under the big gazebo thing- the AWESOME dog park!- running on the trail along the deltaThings to be aware of!- if you're gonna have a party here, clean up after yourself. You're adults.- running on the trail, there are garter snakes here (comes in black and yellow, and also tan/brown)! They are NOT NOT NOT poisonous. Just go around them!- if you bring kids into the dog park, stay near them as not ALL dogs are children friendlyWhile I love this park tons (because I don't feel safe at the park near my house due to lunatics), I wish people had common sense! Clean up after yourselves. This park was meant for everyone to feel safe to run around freely. We can't do that trampling over your three day old trash in the grass. Keep Stockton clean and friendly. Otherwise, don't expect Stockton to get any better if you can't make it better.

Great dog park with a separate section for little dogs - where the fence is buried in the ground and there are no gaps through which a small dog can escape! It was perfect for us while we were traveling with our 27 & 13 pound dogs. The 1 picnic table and new drinking fountain are nice. It's pretty small though, I imagine it gets crowded when it's nice out.Be warned: it's closed on Monday mornings for Park maintenance.

Beautiful open park perfect for anything. Great little dog park in the back. Bit of a hidden gem.

Nice park but it gets very packed on sundays and I can't do all that crowd thing. Overall they have a nice are to babrbecue I've hosted my little girls birthday here before and it was quite nice
