Yokuts Park,

4200 Empire Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93309

"Huge park and cool location right on the Kern River. The playground if neat but in need of a remodel. Quite a few homeless hang out there every time I’ve ever gone there, but never felt in any danger. Cool place to have lunch or a picnic."

"This park has an updated play area and i like it but it doesn’t get much recognition. It is hidden it’s Yokuts Park the playground itself looks to be clean and kept up with like it is cleaned a few trash bins here and there and trash on the floor but it’s clean at least the playground area. There are restrooms but I did not use the restrooms therefore can’t give much on that, just that as soon as you park you see the restrooms and the playground. It is dog friendly a lot of dogs today as it’s Sunday but like most parks there isn’t the doggy bags post by the trash bins. So much room to run and play our dog loves it. There are shaded picnic areas as well as unshaded. The shaded area closest to the playground has only two tables. The rest are a few back and walking distance. My kids still love the park and with a little and another on the way we will be frequently coming to parks the park by our house isn’t much so we drive around looking for parks and all."

"Nice wide open park with a lot of space, decently maintained playgrounds albeit a bit old. Lot of groundhog holes in the ground though, so watch your step!"

"The community had a Blue Zone fair to support and educate people on how to live a healthier life. They had many booths with information and some had food samples. The big down side were all the squirrel holes."
