Modesto is home to two regional parks — Tuolumne River Regional
Park and Dry Creek Regional Park. For years, many residents
deemed parts of the parks unkempt or unsafe. Today, thanks
to strategic community partnerships, the parks are becoming a
gateway for outdoor adventure. The renewed interest has also
allowed the city to pursue state and federal funding
aggressively and successfully, creating a profound impact on the
cityscape and its residents.
