Decent park with large play structure. Generally well maintained and has many different outdoor areas for a variety of uses. Due to its location sometimes can have unsavory people to have children around but mostly a nice fun place for the family. Lots of events normally held here throughout the year.

We were at Graceada Park on a Sunday afternoon in the summer. We sat at a picnic table and ate dinner we bought at a drive thru. The picnic table and benches were VERY UNCLEAN. I did not want touch them or let anything of mine touch them, so I put napkins down. This is a large park with lots of nice, green grass & paved walkways. There is plenty of room to play football or catch or do gymnastics. There is a large playground & also another fenced playground that Im guessing is meant for younger kids. There is a stage and lots of seating where there are concerts at times. There is at least one working drinking fountain & there is a bathroom, but it was closed/locked. There were no children playing while we were here, possibly because of the corona virus. We did see some adults sitting at the tables under the large gazebo & there was a couple who walked by & a few lone men who walked by. We did not walk around, so there could be more things here.

Kids always have a blast here. The structure is nice and the park is nice. I give 3 stars because there is always trash in the bark. I think everyone should do their part and pick up after themselves. There is always a lot of homeless people here, honestly they are all super friendly and never bother anyone.

Graceada Park is a nice place to bring your children and they can meet other children there own age. Graceada Park offers a lot all year long for Adults as well. All or the vast majority of people my neighbors feel free enough to be able to walk to the Park and all over through out the other to Parks as well to the north of Graceada is Enslen Park where Teams for Baseball come and play, there is also the Boy Scout club House where they hold meeting and people can rent for?? The rest is up to You!

Its a wonderful park in an amazing environment. I havent seen any family bar-b-ques yet but Im thinking about having a little gathering there soon. Anyways, if your looking for a meeting place, somewhere to relax and read a book or just a place to put headphones on and chill for an hour or so, this would be your ideal park.

Great park to bring the whole family, a large play area for kids of all ages to slide and swing. There is also a nice water play area for the kids to get wet during the summer, the 5 foot deep pool is great for small kids and there are 4 lifeguards standing by watching all movement so youll feel safe since no parents are allowed in the pool.

I love the park but one of the homeless guys was following my daughter. We gave him some food to maybe have him go away but then he peed in front of us and continued to follow us. The water park is great for the kids but be aware of the company that lingers by the area.

Despite the homeless that chill here, it is very clean. Awesome play equipment, busy so new friends are around for little ones to make. Swimming pool with life guards some days and a water park feature area if not. Plus other amenities we didnt access like open stage with seating. Tennis courts handball wall and gazebo with lots of tables for large parties

The Sunrise Rotary recently added a series of large flower playthings that function as chimes/bells. Accompanying them is a laminate plaque advising readers of a four-step standard to hold ourselves to as we consider transferring our thoughts into words from our mouths.Is it the TRUTH?Is it FAIR to all involved?Does it promote friendship and goodwill?Is it BENEFICIAL to all involved?

Probably best playgrounds in Modesto! Theres also a waterplay zone, swimming pool, outdoor concert venue! Even tennis courts and sport fields that may technically be a different park, but theyre connected. Downside is its known for the homeless, but Ive never had an issue.

Always enjoy Graceada Park for the annual Concert In The Park evenings. Thursday night was the first night for the six planned concerts this summer. And, this year, 2019, is the 100th anniversary of Mo Band!! Some of us brought food for a potluck. We had a great time. Still have 5 Thursday night concerts this summer. Come out and join us!

Review №73

Great play area for kids. Even a seperate area for smaller kids. Summertime pool is open or there is a water area. Thursday nights right now is the Modesto Co cert in the park series. Great free fun for the family or really anybody or any age.

We came to the restaurant for dinner, not a special occasion. The view outside with the Christmas Tree and all the lights is beautiful. The restaurant is all windows, so everyone can enjoy the view. Make reservations, its very busy and chances are you will not be able to just walk up for a table without a very long wait. The service was very attentive. The food was very good, we had a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their experience from cocktails to dessert. Know that the great view, service and food come with a price. For the 6 of us, each persons bill was about $100, with a drink, salad, meal and dessert. They only provide 1 bill for the table, they didnt like when we asked for separate bills - I dont like 1 table bills - it shouldnt be that hard to give each couple their bill.

Spent many evenings here when I was a teen. Amphitheater. Tennis courts. Chem toilets locked, but the real restroom is open. Like everywhere in this town, theres a few homeless folks relaxing at picnic tables.

Review №77

A wonderful place to take children they have a great play yard. The homeless have people coming by at all times and feeding them which is good for the homeless. The homeless people dont really bother anybody, not at the park. All you people who have never been in the homeless situation should NOT judge. You live in glass houses, have compassion. If they bother you go talk to them most of them are really good people!! They would respect whatever you say.

Great playplaces and interesting things for kiddos to play with. Strong homeless presence to where you can feel they made this somewhat home. I would not want my baby and lady going alone but it is definitely one to check out! Also very busy on the weekends.

Best park in Modesto. Huge playground and huge park. A lot of wonderful events are always going on here. There is also an open theater. On hot summer nights they play free movies for the community. My son loves this park. Lots of trees and I believe now they have a community pool. They have a covered gazebo for parties and areas to bbq.

Great place for the kiddos. Small, fenced off playground for toddlers, and larger playground for older kids with many imaginative opportunities for clambering. Water fun in the summer with both a pool and a fountain, and fun events like MoBand.

Nice shaded park, my kids always have a lot of fun, but the down side is that there is way too many homeless people here. Id advise parents to closley watch your children, you never know if they can step on a needle.
