Oak Grove Regional Park

Took the Harry Potter nature walk and learned all about local flora and fauna - including elderberries/elder trees, rose hips, valley oak trees/acorns, Native American villages/life, and even mandrake roots!They do regular activities here such as astronomy evenings to check out the stars/planets, and more!

Overall, for what we arrived here for we got to use out of it. Which was for a morning walk/jog throughout this location. There is a six dollar per car fee to get inside. There are a good handful of rental spots when it comes to table areas. There are a lot of geese and ducks so be careful where you step throughout your visit. There is some permitted fishing with license as an option. I thought that certain areas walking through the trails could have been a little bit more maintenance especially with trash, cans and benches to sit down on that are located throughout. They do not permit dogs to be on the trails, but throughout we notice that was ignored as there were a lot of dog markings left and not picked up by the owners. There are also a few playgrounds and restroom areas located throughout, as well as what look to be like a little hall that you could rent with a deck access. if you're ever interested in doing the trails, both of them together were just under 2 miles long. This location was very close to home so therefore convenient they have a nature center but it's only open on Saturdays and there's also a little informational booth located explaining a little more about the nature center. decent spot to have birthday parties or celebrations staged here. There's also an amphitheater that seats about 400.

Great place for a big picnic with over 300 people using their pavilion. It has a stage and center area for dancing or other activities.

Kinda run down, paid for my dogs to come in, but wasn't permitted to walk them on the trails.... The woman running the entrance booth wasn't helpful at all.

I have been coming to this park for 15 years and it is definitely one of Stockton's 'hidden gems'. Though located off the 5 and 8 Mile Rd., this park keeps peaceful and relaxing tones with little disruption from cars traveling the nearby interstate and main roadways. I am an avid fisherman and enjoy the calmness of this lake. They stock the lake with trout and catfish every year, sometimes with several plants per year. There is also a small population of large mouth bass, bluegill and carp. People often come to play frisbee golf, as the park offers this sport as one of their most popular, due to the wide area and challenging placement of the 'holes'. There is group picnic available and if not reserved, is first come first served. BBQ grills are also available at most picnic stations. There is a lot for the kids to do also: Paddle boats can be rented as well, though I believe this option is not available year around. Two playgrounds are available for both toddler aged kids and older children as well. I will continue to go to this lake, as it is a nice getaway from the everyday hustle and busyness of normalcy. I've always got my fishing pole in the car in case I want to stop by, cast my line and kick back.

Fell in love with this park the first time I came. Lots of wide open spaces, picnic tables, parking, little pond with paddle boats, fishing, trails and a nature center. Park is well maintained and bathrooms are clean. There is an entrance free but I don't mind. The big con is the goose poop thats everywhere. But other than that the grass is always green and lots of shade and oak trees. This park also hosts Astronomy in the Park once a month and is a great time, def recommend. Plus its nice to experience the park after hours. Add this to your "places to check out in Stockton" list.

In the main, this park is nicely maintained. We enjoyed watching the squirrels, geese and ducks. There were many signs prohibiting feeding the geese - I suspect that this rule is at least partly intended to save nervous visitors from the multitudes of rather large and aggressive Canada Geese. Personally, I found the big birds amusing, but they made my girlfriend quite anxious.There are numerous trails around the periphery of the park - these seemed to receive minimal attention from the groundskeepers. Maybe they are aiming for a rustic, back to nature effect? I just saw a lot of dried out, dusty land.However, we had a good time and I recommend this park for family outings and picnics.

We held my daughter's first birthday party in their BOATHOUSE this past Sunday. We arrived at eight to set up for the party and noticed a mice in the storage room while the park employee was giving us instructions. He brushed it off and continued on. We mentioned it again and he brushed it off. Later during the party the mice came out and went straight to the kitchenette and into our food. It caused so much trouble and was so chaotic. The guest as myself were freaking out. At that point we seen an employee and informed him. He advised us that this was an on going issue and he would put traps out the following day. The employee was kind enough to find four traps and set them out during the party. and trapped one. Throughout the party the mice was in and out. We also seen a few rats as big as a soda can outside on the deck. We got in contact with the administrators office the following day and spoke to Sandy who stated the day before they had an event and they seen a mice however, it never came out and they had food. I informed her I had pictures for proof. Per Sandy they came to a conclusion that there would be no reimbursement due to it being a park and the setting. A simply apology or some kind of reimbursement as little as $50.00 would have been really appreciated.

First of all it's 2023 and this park is cash only. My husband and I came here to enjoy a day off and picnic while doing some fishing. I used to fish here as a kid and it was quite nice back then. Much to my surprise this park is pretty run down, like most city/ county parks. Geese everywhere with droppings all over have to be careful where you step. Garbage strewn about and lots of standing water everywhere and it smells pretty bad. The kids playground area is all all fenced off. The water activity center looks like it's no longer there and it's run down too. Pretty sad to see such mess. The county should fix this place up and bring in some revenue by hosting events here instead of downtown Weber point where the homeless reside and have taken over. This is sad they charge 6$ to get in. 5$ to fish pp and it's not worth it. Unless you're a disc golfer/this place is worthless

Overall the park was super nice however one staff member was rude you could tell she was mad to be there and wanted to leave, we did have a few questions about the park she didn't let us speak before saying nope leave it's closed now five o'clock and then turned her speaker on and said the park was closed we didn't mind leaving we just had a few questions and when trying to ask again she interrupts once more and repeats that the park is closed mind you when trying to ask we weren't being in any way rude.
