Last week, River Islands dedicated a new bridge crossing the San Joaquin River. The first two lanes of the bridge, called Bradshaw’s Crossing, now offer access to Interstate 5 at Louise Avenue. Not only does the bridge connect both sides of Lathrop, it offers residents of River Islands another convenient entrance and exit point.
Neighborhood parks are also slated for completion this summer and into the fall, including one adjacent to the Tidewater neighborhood. In general, neighborhood parks are designed with their closest neighbors in mind, with seating for picnics and relaxation, play structures for the kids, and even recreational sports amenities for everyone to enjoy. Accessible to the entirety of River Islands, these parks have been designed as comfortable meeting places for old and new neighbors alike, bustling with play and a welcoming atmosphere.
The month of July will bring the grand reopening of The Boathouse restaurant. Featuring lakefront dining and attractively located in the heart of the community of South River Bend, The Boathouse will offer lunch and dinner service.
