The 100-acre Mistlin Sports Park probably offers the most to more people than the 19 other play areas in the Ripon community that range in size from a quarter of an acre to the near 28-acre Mavis Stouffer Park along the Stanislaus River.Mistlin has the best drawing cards for youngsters from the state-of-the-art water feature and climbing tower with slides to a chance of running through the lush grass flying their kites. Mistlin has recently installed four softball diamonds around the water tower at a cost of more than $4 million dollars.Older children fill the many soccer fields on weekends and the baseball diamonds on the northeast of the grounds. A series of batting cages are often filled with young athletes.
