Great, low traffic, peaceful park. Smaller than some, not a big play structure, but a well maintained baseball field, very nice grassy areas, and probably the most available tennis courts in Modesto, and best of all the city just fixed them up! New paint, cleaned up trash, and fixed nets! I think its great they paid it some much needed attention! Thank you!

At this time the bathrooms are temporarily shut down due to a fire and I believe it will stay that way for a while. No bathroom, not a very good park for a picnic.

Great place for picnics and parties but its time for the city to work on the shading that is in place. Its old and has holes. The shading doesnt even cover all of the tables. Other than that we always enjoy ourselves here.

So I was dropping off my wife for work at the hospital where she works and in the parking lot where I drop her off there was a Lunar Space Module. Wait What?!Yup , there was a real lunar module there. Right outside the hospital. Ive spent some time in Downey and you can see some hints of what was here before. There is a small icon or thumbnail of a space shuttle on challenger way or the plaques of space mile stones located in the shopping center nearby.Did anyone else know that this place is the best $5 you can spend in this town? (other than inside a Portos?)

Its a super nice park with green grass and great landscaping. Its very well tended and its just a comfortable place to enjoy. However, the parking lot needs some serious attention. There are potholes are numerous and awful and they looks and feel terrible to drive on.

Grew up in this neighborhood even went to John Muir elementary School also went to Downey high School breifly. But I have noticed that there are homeless people there at Downey park. This neighborhood has been through so many changes lets just hope that the changes dont get worse be safe at night ....

As far as parks in the city it is among the larger, well maintained and safer. There is ample shade by many trees, a healthy population of song birds and a fly over spot on the painted lady butterfly migration. The playground is nice equipment is newer-ish like most areas of the city it can be quite hot mid day so mind your kids if you dont want them crying. Great for soccer, field play, water gun, water balloon fights. Definitely a nice place to spend a day outdoors.

The bathroom had 4 stalls and NO doors, not to mention, it says its a dog park, but its not fenced in. How does that count as a dog park? Its a nice looking park, but i wouldnt bring my kids here because the bathrooms are a voyeurs paradise. Creepy!

We like the shade and only stopped to try something different. The parking lot pavement was horrible and homeless tend to camp out here. So not too safe for kids to play unless 110% supervised by yourself. You could see people just hanging out in their cars smoking weed, the smell was strong. We stayed just long enough to walk and catch this entire scene. Nothing against anyone, just not where I wanted to relax and take my 1 year old out to play at.
