Oak Grove Park has a great area for youth group camping. Last time we took 10+ Girl Scout troops for a 2-night campout. We also requested a tour at the nature hut--- the curator was awesome and provided so much information to girls from 6-16 yr old!

Really starting to love these courses; there are two of them, called purple and gold. Some of the holes wind through the oak trees, and others are more open in the grassy parts of the park, but there are oaks pretty much everywhere. Also some water, and geese, and people walking around. Nice atmosphere here, very friendly and relaxing. Well maintained, sometimes a little windy.

Oddly relaxing park for being at i5 and 8 mile road. As oddly not many people walk or bike to the park, there's no entrance fees for that unless you bring pets.

Good place to hang out and fish. Cost $6 to go in and $5 for each person to fish over 18. Not that much fish tho. I would expect more fish since we have to pay for fishing.

We stopped here on our way to our destination. It cost 6 bucks to get in but it was worth it. My dog got to go potty and they have clean restrooms for both men and women. We got to take a little rest at this comfortable spot. I will go there again rather than a dirty gas station.

The disc golf course was good and we certainly would play again when we are in the area. The only complaint is that there were not any maps. We liked the signs on each tee with the pictures.

First time there. We enjoyed all the trails (walked 3 miles) and it has a very nice pond. It borders Interstate-5 so there is persistent auto noise.

An absolutely gorgeous park for the entire family to visit and enjoy! Ponds, playgrounds, and excellent Nature Trails! Frisbee Golf can also be enjoyed by participating on their grand course. Fishing is also allowed in several locations. There are also Paddle Boats to rent and enjoy for all family members. A fun day anytime that you visit!

It's a nice park if you want to play disc golf or if you want to take the kids and play or even fish.

Disc golf course is awesome!! Only downfall is that the park closes at 5 pm sharp. Not cool if you work during business hours. I would definitely play when I have more time on the weekend because the course is super fun. Decent cement tee pads, okay signage. No benches at the tee pad.

Beautiful quaint park with lovely views of the little lake and lush green to walk through on the trails. Lots of geese as well so just be sure to give them their space since they can be a little bit moody.

Oak Grove regional Park is always a fun place to go. There is plenty of geese and ducks. You can also fish for a fee. There are two playgrounds walking paths and frisbee golf. There is also a nature center which I haven't been to in a long time. Which I remember there is a very friendly staff on board that will teach you all about the animals. They will also teach you about plants. They will also let you touch the snakes and other animals they have. Oak Grove regional Park is a must visit location. They used to have the asparagus festivals here. They were here it was nice and spread out and a lot of fun. They also have paddle boat which is great fun for the family. If you are a photographer there is many places you can go along the nature trails to take awesome pictures. Very beautiful trees and scenic backgrounds. There are also trees you can sit on that have been knocked over that make great family portraits.

Peaceful, tranquil park surrounded by cherry orchards and grape vineyards. There's a ton ducks wandering around and there's paddle boating. Must go at least once or even get married there. Plenty of good spots to set up and get the party started.

Beautiful park! We had the Poppy Shelter for a small gathering of 15. It was perfect. Near the lake with two picnic tables, a serving table, BBQ pit and covering. Plenty of trees for shade. Ground was level, great for blankets or chairs and everything was really neat. It was lovely and the rental fee was reasonable. The spot was also close to parking and a restroom.

June 13, 21 First time here. It was very nice. We had a large party (over 50) and reserved several tables by the water. There was plenty of shade and the weather was perfect. Easy access to parking made it nice.

Attended combined C H P officer graduation and baby 1st birthday celebration. Great time. Park area was perfect. Children enjoyed play area, we had a water facet for washing hands and towels for cleanup, trash can placed closely for cleanup, plenty of seating area, and large trees that provided shade. Bathrooms were clean and close enough to walk to.

Good park on your way to and from Sacramento to San Jose for a stop by with family and kids. The entry fee is $6 but it's worth it. There are restrooms and lots of benches to take a break/have lunch or snacks. The area is pretty huge and right on/near Hwy 5.

A great place close to home to feel a little lost in. We did not get to either of the two trails as our little tuckered out on the walk around the lake. There's definitely some work to be done, but considering the last year and a half, we enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

As photographers in Stockton, we know there isn't much places to photograph. But Oak Grove park is our go to location and our couples love it here! The trees + grass here at the park changes with the season so it's always a different look!

Beautifully park! Didn't get to see much of it, just stopped off to picnic a meal and let the dogs do their Doo. There's various entrance fee depending on day of the week, some holidays I believe and time of day but lady at entrance was very accommodating realizing we were traveling to move and it was close to closing time and let us in without charging us. Nicely keep grounds, beautiful trees and greenery, great for walking, picnics, ect. Loved this place.

$6 weekday entrance fee to this large park with fishing, rental boats, walking trails, picnic grounds, frisbee golf, amphitheater, and more. We took a lovely walk through the park on a concrete walkway. Although there are also dirt trails, we avoided those. The park is well maintained and we felt very safe. Restrooms are abundant, clean, and well stocked. There are plenty of geese and their poop litters the pathways. You may have to wash your shoes. As we walked we encountered two professional photo shoots, one a pregnancy announcement, the other a small girl in a beautiful dress. Several frisbee golfers played. It was cold, as Januarys usually are, but the sun was out and we dressed appropriately.
