Family Amenities

Got kids with energy to burn? The park features play equipment where little ones can climb, slide, and explore to their heart's content. While the playground is clean and well-maintained, it's worth noting that some of the equipment could use a modern refresh. When snack time rolls around, picnic tables scattered within the park provide a good spot to refuel and regroup.

Additional Features

Planning a get-together? The park's BBQ facilities are positioned conveniently near the picnic tables, making it easy to grill up something delicious while keeping an eye on the rest of your party. Restrooms are available on-site (though hours may vary), so you can comfortably spend the better part of your day here. The water park area adds a scenic touch to the landscape and is a favorite feature among many visitors.

Visitor Experience

Sherwood Park has a peaceful atmosphere. Mature shade trees create cool spots to relax on hot California days, making it a favorite for lunch breaks, sunset strolls, and weekend family time. Dog owners are welcome to bring their four-legged friends, and most are good about keeping them leashed and cleaning up afterward. You'll need to find street parking along the perimeter since there's no dedicated lot within the park itself.

Sherwood Park isn't flashy or fancy, but it offers a versatile space for staying active, connecting with others, or simply finding a moment of calm in Stockton's urban landscape.
