success stories... Our family has grown up with the Turlock Recreation Department. Through the years, we have taken advantage of a variety of programs offered to keep our family active. Before our children could walk, the Recreation Department was there offering swim classes. We continued creating many happy memories through our involvement in Tiny Tots, T-Ball, tennis, baseball, basketball, Marathon Mile, the after school PLAY program and our family’s favorite, the Turkey Trot. With the Recreation staff being so courteous and nice, they made every activity a pleasurable experience. Our family would like to encourage every family to get out and grow up with the Turlock Recreation Department.
