Five years of drought followed by a historic wet and stormy winter has wreaked havoc on rivers, roads and forests throughout the region and state, but in Turlock no place has been hit harder than Pedretti Park. The westside park, with its four softball fields and one baseball diamond, has suffered a number of damages to its urban forest. Approximately 110 redwood trees were lost due to impacts of the drought, and recent storms brought down 10 mature eucalyptus trees.
