Recreation Festival at Gateway Park in Modesto back after three years!
The community is invited to a free family-friendly recreation festival in Modesto’s Gateway Park along the Tuolumne River. Gateway Park is located between South Morton Boulevard and 10th Street. The Modesto RecFest will provide participants an opportunity to explore a variety of recreational activities through guided and self-guided options. Activities will include a youth fishing clinic, bicycle rides, hiking and bird watching, orienteering, disc golf, and kite flying.

The goal of the RecFest is to reintroduce the public to an area of the river park that was previously blighted and neglected but that has been restored, rehabilitated, and is being developed as a community recreation resource. The event is designed to demonstrate the numerous recreational opportunities that currently exist at the Tuolumne River Regional Park (TRRP) here in Modesto.
The Welcome Booth Area will be located at Gateway Park near South Morton Blvd and 10th Street. Parking will be available underneath the 9th Street Bridge and will be patrolled by volunteers. See the full map here.
