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.

Why work on this during the summer months when kids are off school? We had to drive around to find another location but all Lathrop park splash pads are not working or out of service.

There's plenty of handicap parking. Parking is also right next to the playground, splash pad, basketball courts and picnic area. It gets busy on the weekends; however, the weekends it's mostly the locals only. When it's crazy hot and you're tired of being inside and you want an alternative to the rivers, this is a great local option that's FREE as in paid for by our taxpayers $.

This part is pretty freaking cool. The splash pad area is smaller than the new park next to LPD,…read morebut imo it's way better. Here's why: The play structures, bathrooms, water play area, picnics and shade are all right next to eachother. As a mom with young kids, I felt comfortable sitting down and watching them run back and forth from water play to the pirate ship, back to the picnic table to grab a snack, ect. The other park in town with a large splash pad area is large enough that I felt the need to follow my kiddos around. The picnic areas here are way nicer because they have good established shade. And, for potty training parents - the bathrooms are literally right there. Across the large flat field (perfect if you want to play soccer) there was adult exercise equipment, basketball courts, and tennis courts. They even had a handicap swing and one of those cool ones for both baby and an older rider, that face eachother. 10/10 reccomend this park! As we got into early afternoon, the park got super busy and there were lots of rough older kids. We decided that the crowd was getting a little too rough for our littles so we decided it was time to go. I would say that if you have toddlers, morning hours are best before it gets super crowded.

This is a pretty new park even though it's been open a few years but I would say it's a better park…read morethan any other Lathrop park. It's near an elementary school but not as close with a whole grass field between. The pathway that's between the school and park is wide and shady, filled with places to sit, workout and eat. There is a restroom at the park and on the Slate Street side closer to the school. The water splash pads runs continuously during the day in the summer because the water is recycled and filtered. They have city workers that check up the area regularly. I see them in the mornings when I go for a walk sometimes. They added a new pergola type area next to the tennis courts. More tables to enjoy and a bbq pit I believe The parking is pretty much street parking but it seems that a lot of the visitors are from the area so they most likely walk to it. Ice cream trucks, well vans come by and sometimes the school would invite Kona Ice usually on Wednesdays sometimes. Kona would usually be on the Slate Street side FYI

Gotta say I was really disappointed visiting Del Webb Clubhouse in Manteca. Visiting our…read moregrandparents we took our son who is 6 years old to go fishing. They provided us with a fishing pass for visitors. With in 5 minutes of being there and elder man pulled up in a white Toyata Prius telling my son that he's going to call the cops on him for fishing illegally . Keep in mind again my son is 6 years old in kindergarten. When we show the man our visitors pass we asked him to please apologize to our son because he was very scared and crying nervously thinking that he was going to get arrested. We wanted him to just say that everything was going to be okay and he was sorry. This man could not even own up to his own mistake, and when we asked him to tell her I said it was okay he just drove off. In my book I call that a coward. Within about 45 minutes to the hour we were there fishing we got approached by five different people. Asking us asking us if we had our fishing pass or if we were catching and releasing. Someone even stated they said they saw us filleting a fish? ? I had to start laughing at this one ... Really ? lol It was obvious we were not welcome and were made to feel like Outsiders. If they took the time looked at the situation it was easy to tell we were abiding by all the rules keep ourselves just trying to enjoy the day. These elder folks of Del Webb have nothing better to do than to be extremely nosey & or harass us and a 6 year old kid. I'm surprised how very agressive and rude the people were . Instead of asking us how our day is going? Or if we caught any fish? We were getting bullied buy the Elder community. We were just just trying to enjoy a good time visit our grandparents enjoy some of the nice amenities the community has to offer. Again got to save very disappointed big let down by the Del Web people today. Hopefully next time we have a better visit.)

This is the actual dog park in Lathrop. There are several reviews of this park under the Mossdale…read moreLanding Community Park page, which is NOT a dog park. This park is long and narrow, and is great for large and small dogs, in two separate areas. There are dog waterers available, and both areas are terraced into multiple levels. Plenty of grass and room to throw balls or discs for your doggy to chase. The grassy areas are well maintained, and there aren't any mud pits to speak of. Some trees for shade, and benches, too. Also, it appears that owners are picking up after their dogs, because we haven't seen a lot of surprises in the grass. This park is a bit of a drive for us (~25 minutes), but sometimes it's worth it. ETA: This park features sally port entries for additional security. Dogs entering or leaving have to go through two sets of gates.

Well, thank those who created and founded this parkway. I haven't read the other reviews but…read morefinding like a place to park and walk is a pain in the ass. I gave up and parked on lathrop road where it's intersecting the Tidewater Trail and theres a traffic light that has that trail name. that's the only traffic is the possibility of pedestrians and maybe a parked car(s) in this ditch or something whatever it's called but i didn't want to park there because of this private property sign. I parked on the side of the road (close to the intersection) where the cavalry community church food distribution center is; the opposing side has no parking any time signs, and so does the side that I parked BUT on the left of this church entrance which is like a half a mile or so down. And actually there was a car parked already too. I want to say it should be fine where I parked. I left about 8 and it was still parked there. Anywho, I was Walking my small dog on a leash, and got onto the trail. It's funny because i see this trail almost everywhere on some streets seeing the tidewater bike trail arrow signs. Finally, I walked on it. There are other people walking and also on bikes. There are posted signs with guidelines at each street intersection. There are dog walkers too and yes there leashed and big ass pit bulls where wanting to get near my small dog growling; I walked on the opposite side and I'd be sure to glance back here and there, and keep your headphones volume low just in case. I came across a park called northgate park and there's a walkway "bike trail ends" which leads into the park. And I seen a softball game with kids, cheering and applauding and a few spectators on the trail also. It's pretty recreational and I just may choose this park next to just go on the trail. Anyhow I continued walking and this goes a long, long long way, 7 miles!! And I only walked just 3 miles one way and walked back to my parked car. This is indeed a bike trail, and I'd want to get a bike soon. And there's low star reviews on here complaining that the trail/road isn't good enough For their skates or skateboard. Pshhh gimme a break. There's a small skate park for that, which is also on the trail too. Trail isnt hard to miss, just look for arrow signs at each intersection when crossing the street. I'm looking forward to more of my future walks here. ...........damn 24 hourfitness had to close which I only had membership so this is how I exercise.

Tidewater Bikeway is a North to South oriented paved Bicycle Path located almost in the center of…read moreManteca. IMO, Tidewater Bikeway is an inappropriate name for this Walking / Jogging Path. The paved Bikeway extends from the center of the city at the NorthWest corner of Wilson Park to the northern part of the city at around the 700 block of Lathrop Road, probably a total of less than four miles. The Southern part of the Pathway is at Moffat Road. The Pathway parallels Moffat Road for about two miles down to Spreckles Avenue. The route is really not challenging enough to classify it for someone with wheels would use, whether it be Skates or Bicycles... it's just too short a route, and there are mandatory stops at all major intersections. And that break from Center to Moffat... you can literally get lost! At every major intersection there are Pedestrian Push Buttons that control the operation of Traffic Lights. Water - There are Drinking Fountains, usually located at the South side of the intersection of every cross street - sized both for kids and adults. I usually fill up my water bottle at the Lathrop Road drinking fountain before riding back to Lodi. Rest Stops - There are benches to sit on, located intermittently at the side of the paved Bikeway for those that need to rest up. The intersections also provide a minute's pause before continuing on... Safety - I've biked the Bikeway every time I've ridden my Bicycle to Manteca and unlike most Parks which are just magnets to transients and the like, the only people I've seen are actual Walkers, Joggers, or Bicyclists. Even though I've never been there at night, the Bikeway seems to be lit at night with the numerous Light Poles that line the Bikeway. At the center of the Bikeway Path, about ten feet West of the Path itself, is a Phone which is encased in bright Yellow plastic attached to a pole which can be used for Emergencies - unfortunately, there's only one... and you have to know where it is... Convenience - A user can get off the path at any of the major intersections to get to Main Street within just a few blocks East. And there's many Parks and Baseball Fields within a few steps of the Bikeway. The Path, itself, is only ten feet wide, but the path is directly in the center of a strip of land about 20-30 yards wide that is essentially a narrow Park. It is immaculately landscaped and maintained... every time I rode through the Bikeway, it's been clean as a whistle. But not very many people use it, it seems. ***** - Joggers, Walkers *** - Bicyclists, Skaters - despite my criticism, though, I've used the Bikeway every time I've ridden to Manteca... maybe it's not so bad after all... Update: 07-30-2010 This year, I've noticed that there's evidence of Budget cutbacks in Manteca that results in reduced maintenance of the Bikeway... extensive weed and grass growth, reduced watering of the lawn portion of the Bikeway, and evidence of burrowing mammals taking over certain parts of the Bikeway. But the citizenry of Manteca in certain portions of the Bikeway, especially in portions that is adjoining to a residence backyard, the residents have used their own water supply to hydrate the lawn area! Cool!
