Brad Bates Park - Park in Turlock - 4 Mountain View Rd #074, USA

Nice little playground with lots of things to climb and play on. Only wish it had restrooms and wasn't tan bark.

This neighborhood park with playground equipment is adjacent to the 12 field soccer complex in North Turlock. If you come to Turlock for a soccer tournament and need a place to entertain and occupy younger children during the matches, this is the place.

It's very clean very well kept and I understand it's a sport complex but not very handicapped accessible I would think especially with having no bleachers closer to the parking lot 4 those who have a hard time moving like grandparents coming to watch. It was really hard for my parents who can walk but not very far and since there was nowhere to sit they got to stay in there car in the Sun and watch the game. I definitely felt like the fields were set more for soccer then baseball which I guess what makes permanent seating hard. I would definitely recommend some kind of portable seating or moveable bleachers or something

My girls love this park. Wish there was shade over the playground though

This is a nice smaller park with a swing set and slides. There are a few benches to eat at, but I don’t think there are any bbq grills. It’s not of a picnic park. It is very shaded and has a lot of nice grassy areas to relax on. Although it’s small and has no restroom, my kids enjoy this park better than others closer to our house.

Overall a nice park. Earlier in the day it’s not hot (since there’s little shade.) in the late afternoon and weekends it does tend to be bigger kids (I think it’s meant for kids 7-12) and kids from high school. It’s definitely dangerous for the littles - I’ve witnessed a kid fall from the top and I’ve heard that’s happened a lot. It has narrow passageways and several areas where kids could easily topple if they’re not paying attention. Overall I think they could have picked a better, safer more useable design. This one is starting to look dated. There’s also no “tot park” even though there is a private one in the soccer fields that are closed off. If you’re the first arrival of the morning check the ground, we’ve found a shattered meth pipe near the benches. Also I don’t recommend using the water fountains at any of the parks. I’ve seen transients use them at 3 parks now to clean their pipes and who knows what else.

Went there with another parent and our kids had a great time together on the playground! Wish I had told her how cute she was, but other than that, the park was great!

Definitely a hidden gem amongst all parks in Turlock Ca. I always take my children here and even if it is more busy than usual everyone there is very polite and keeps to themselves. The kicker is how the ice cream man comes on the weekend!! #WINNING
