We create community and enhance neighborhoods through people, parks, programs and facilities.

Lathrop is a great place to live, work and play. A temperate year round climate lets residents enjoy the outdoors and casual California lifestyle. Recreational opportunities abound. In Lathrop one is never far from an open greenspace for active play or just relaxing. The Parks & Recreation Department offers classes and programs for all ages such as pre-school, summer day camps, after-school programs, lifelong learning, sports and senior activities.

Programs and Services are continually evaluated and modified to address the changing needs and desires of Lathrop’s residents and visitors.
