Good morning, Stockton.

Residents celebrated the re-opening of McKinley Park in South Stockton on Tuesday as the mayor joined festivities with free refreshments, music and pool jumping—this $15.837 million renovation added a new play area, water-efficient landscaping and a sports court to the 100-year-old park.

USA TODAY and Statista released a list of California’s Best Car Dealers 2025 after surveying buyers and dealers in March and April.

Stockton dealers S/S Auto Sales at 845 N. Wilson Way and Stockton Honda at 2002 E. Hammer Lane were included among the top 250 dealerships—rated on factors like consultation, pricing and repair services.

Former Stockton police sergeant Nicholas Bloed was sentenced on Monday to eight years in state prison after pleading guilty to charges of oral copulation by threat of arrest and assault by an officer, and he was taken into custody with a hearing on credits, restitution, and a protective order scheduled for July 28 (he must register as a sex offender for at least 20 years).

A WalletHub study released on June 17th compared 148 cities on quality of services and found Stockton ranked 138th among the worst run in California while six state cities fell in the bottom 10 + Huntington Beach was the only Californian city to rank in the top half at No. 34.

This study measured factors like financial stability, education, health, safety, economy and infrastructure.
