Oak Grove Regional Park
4520 W Eight Mile Rd
Stockton, CA
This San Joaquin County Park has majestic trees and plenty of space to enjoy a picnic. Grab a spot near the water or under an old oak tree. Lovingly called the "geese park" by some local children, Oak Grove Regional Park often has flocks of geese to watch for entertainment (be sure you watch where you step and sit). This is a great option for those looking to do some fishing or just spread out and chill with a couple of friends. After your meal, take a walk on one of the two nature trails, the Yokuts (.4 miles and handicap accessible), and Miwok (1.8 miles), or play a few holes on the disc-golf course.
