Sleey but I guess ok

We have been cleaning this area for years. Come on down with your family and friends and enjoy the clean park.

I stopped by there on my way home from shopping to smoke a cigarette because I dont smoke in the car.

As A kid about 25 yrs ago this was a magestic park. There were statues of carousel horses and so much to do for kids. Some of the original playground climbing structures are there, but since 2009 the homeless have taken over the area. Looks as if there is an area for a dog park I wish they would announce that to public so dog owners can use to park and claim it back for the community.

Park is under construction! I was next door at Gallo picnic area

Too many homeless...too much trash...

This used to be a great park but its very bad now. I definitely would not take family here.

Still not open Gallo Winery doesnt like people in the park because they think they are a eye sore for them

At one time this was a beautiful park, since the flooding and the homeless people living there its a dead zone. The grass is no longer green and the trees are few and far between. When I was a kid this was the go to park for birthdays as it used to have an animal carousel in the middle section that separated the 2 parks Beard Brook and Childrens Park. Now there isnt anything left of that. I dont hate the Park per say, I hate what happened to it.

Will be great again for children after moving all the homeless into more permanent quarters

It was good to see and hear that the City of Modesto was contributing to the Homeless of the community. Many of the citizens of Modesto have little or no idea of what these individuals and families face on a daily basis. I wish that more people would take an interest in trying to find homes and better living conditions for these people.

This park has alot of potential but needs to be upgraded and remodeled for it to be suitable for visitors to be at

Its nice people are trying to help the homeless.

I had very high Hopes the park will be a success after the major renovation with volunteers contributing their time and effort beautifying the place... then the city made it into a homeless encampment... terrible.

The hope I once had for this project is now shattered..when will people learn to be more than about themselves ? Nevermind answering because I am busy worrying if I can get something for nothing and still find a way to fail publicly without much effort and then blame someone else for the mess that kind of fail of this scale tends manifest !?.. The small amount of positive from the project surprisingly comes from the outside community. Open minds and big hearts..I truly wonder when and if this can be redone somehow .. Good try people.

Over a 100 tents and that i have seen go up within a months time. Im sure it will expand, as there r so much more homeless i am assuming heading that way. My business there was to utilize the outreach programs the county was setting up booths for such information.

It has a wonderful dog park if they ever opened it besides that all it is is desolate land no grass no nothing a brown weeds from dirt and no access to the river.

Parkers great I liked a lot of the skate park there thats not too many people lots of shade its a really good place to get away in enjoy life little bit

Homeless camp. Some of My first memories are from there 51 years ago when I was 3. I would stop there with my mom on the way to grandmas and grandpas house. I would call it grandpas park. Never knew the actual name until I revisited Modesto and some of the important memories spots of my early childhood about a year ago. Kind of devastating the reality as compared to amazing little kid memories.

Place where the homeless are legally able to reside. I think its a great idea, to bad the State Capitol doesnt have an area for the homeless, misplaced, etc. But they are great volunteers there, food, port a potties that get dumped every other day, rides for appt, clothes. If your homeless and have self respect, friendly you know how you act... Than go.

Its was a very nice village until some people started a selfish rage in what just gave everyone the status of how people think about homeless folks, when really that is all wrong. Not all of us are like most of them. Other then that camp mom is a very great voice for the village and how those who went speak up she does. Thank you Melanie Slagel.

They use it for homeless campsite which I was hoping Turlock would do

This was a great park to go to check it out

Looking like a park again. It will always be a stop for the domestically challenged, and the cruisers will always cruise. A nice quaint creek sided park with a heavy amount of traffic for the street size that will always be around.

I love how lush and green the grass is at The Dog Park, too bad its locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

Absolutely no no way its garbage imbarrasing to even see aweful

It was peaceful and quiet no one bugged us or my truck I parked close to the entrance of the tents for the occupants.

Dont ever go to this place unless you want to be murdered or worse. I didnt go I was working near by. Stay far away from here.

Good hearted people end up with nothing because they often dont stand up to the wrong doings of other malicious human beings. Thus nice guys finish last.Regardless the tree line here is amazing and so are the recipients. I would totally bring my family and have a picnic with them (a huge tea party whenever) you have to bring the tea though.

This park is in bad need of repairs. When the city gets the park updated it will be worth visiting again & again.

Nice park no place for the kids to play though no playground

Homeless camp. Clean up a lol but would be helpful. All on all guess its a good thing. People dont seem very greatful. Just want more for nothing.

Beard Brook park used to be an awsome place for kids. Now the only thing thats there is the bones and a lion water fountain.

There are many who live here peacefully. The City of Modesto needs to do more to help our homeless!

Totally love beard Brook park homeless camp and definitely going back to live there again .

There is a lot of help around here and support from familys that come out and help . I never experienced anything like this I think this is a wonderful project and I would love to be more help . Everyone helps each other and brings back memories from being apart of family.

MOES is such an important project

Just dont. The City of Modesto needs to rejuvenate this park and do a lot of work before its worth the energy of stepping out your car.

There are no play area for kids and all grass is dead.

Because I get to see all of my friends there

Disgusting! Hard to understand why the city is allowing the homeless to live there. Used to be a great city park. Do not go there, and do not support what is being allowed to happen.

City closed the park. Idiots! I have many wonderful memories of the park and now its destroyed. My grandma used to take me there when I was young. So very sad to see the city destroy a beautiful place.

I like Melanie and saw some freinds from the old neighborhood.! Left for 2 or 3 days, returned to camp and it has only taken 2 to 6 hours to get most of my stuff back. The mornings are pretty pquiet and happy and last night we had barbecued chickens. Be home by the way from home, almost reminds you of the weekend before woodstock!

Its closed now but was beautiful

Omg. What is becoming of our world. Over 1000 homeless people in Modesto. And half are living in tents set up in and neer this park.

Ive not been there but,bits a home of a very distant relative, Sir Humphrey Starkey on of the round table warriors, he was a Judge of there laws.

Didnt like it at all terrible conditions and people!

This is sad so we tax payers are paying for all this and these people get to get there social security and keep getting EBT and we feed them and give them everything they need and they just sit around and do nothing but wait to get feed by us and make a mess and we clean it and they still will not work or even try we will just keep taking care of them on our dime and still give them there social security checks and EBT and they can just get more drugs right less drug test them and when they all fail that they have to leave and we will save money because that place will be empty with no one there lol this is nuts the government pays them and we pay for them what is this world coming to why work when you dont have to and get everything handed to you this needs to stop people need to grow up and get a life and do something productive

Not a good place to take your children it is still being worked on

I did not visit here I live here with my dog and a community of the homeless in tents it is a blessing to me for the community to allow us to be here and help us out as much as they do...one main problem we do have here is the city council needs to fix the water so the shower shuttle can help out with showers it does break my heart to see the children women and men in need of this as well as washing cloths instead of just throwing them out when people come to donate more the restrooms here could be open instead of the porta potties that is tax dollars money when the homeless could be the ones to keep the restrooms clean provide our own toilet paper give us some responsibilities out here to prove we are greatful for it could always be worse

The homeless were fed today at the park. Still a wonderful park.

We biked here for the spring festival. There is a trail at the park we also biked. Wish it was a warmer day as it would have been fun to try the kayaks.

Helped organization take supplies to homeless communityThey city put the tents on a slope close together. As soon as it rained it was a muddy mess. They have moved to flat landI spoke to a homeless woman who was not impressed with the new location

Needs to be improved no more fences would be amazing

This park is not only closed but dead in every way.

Memories of Childhood are at this park.

Its a homeless encampment covered in garbage. It needs to become private property and with no trespassing enforced. I will never go back here, especially with my kids. Ever.

Everyone is still waiting on the 2018 budgeted Dog Park to open . . . Meanwhile a small percentage of the local homeless population is temporarily housed in unsanitary conditions.

Former Holm led

Unsafe place for children to play

I think is a bit overpriced. But lovely place to spend whole day. It would be nice IF it was a bit more slides etc.

Not a great place for anything since the homeless were moved there and destroyed the area

I really wish they would do something about the Homeless people in this park. Thats the thing with Modesto we build something nice and slowly the homeless take over

Its full of bum but nice photo of the river and how high it is rigjte know

The park needs clean up real bad.Restrooms are out of service the riftraft & bums down graded the area.Be careful & dont step on the human poop

Tent City is what its called now very sad

The park has been torn out do age vandleing thy are restoring the park

Doont go there it looks like a war zone

Pretty quiet but it was noon time. I was there looking for someone.

Lots of homeless and smells bad!

Nice park with benches, tables and garbage cans. Filled with soccer games on the weekends and there is plenty of parking.

Party 24/7 lmfao

Checking out the tent camp for homeless.

Its no longer a park. Its all homeless now.

In progress of cleaning areas to peoples expectations.

They need to get this park together

Awesome

Dirty, empty, nothing but homeless people. The train is rusted and fenced off and you cant get on it. Avoid at all times of day.
