Buoyed by local partnerships, Modesto is on track to transform once-neglected parks into a regional jewel.

Nestled in California’s Central Valley, Modesto is home to two regional parks — Tuolumne River Regional Park and Dry Creek Regional Park. The two parks encompass over 640 acres of parkland, wetlands, and trails that meander nearly twelve miles along the Tuolumne River and Dry Creek until converging at the confluence of the Tuolumne River. In addition to exploring scenic natural habitats, visitors can go fishing, hiking, biking, boating, picnicking, and play disc golf or soccer.
