McCowin Park — Attraction in Ammon

McCowin Park is a fantastic community space with something for everyone. The park is spacious and beautifully maintained, featuring large open fields perfect for soccer, multiple well-designed playsets for kids, a fun splash pad, and a refreshing swimming pool during the summer months. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the pickleball courts, tennis court, and disc golf course. The park also offers pleasant walkways for a casual stroll or light exercise, along with convenient restrooms for visitors.

One of the park’s few downsides is the presence of motorways running through the area, which can slightly detract from the sense of uninterrupted green space. Additionally, given the size and popularity of the park, it would be great to see more than one tennis court to better accommodate players.

Overall, McCowin Park is a well-rounded and vibrant place for recreation, relaxation, and family fun—a gem in the...

We come here as often as we can because we love coming to the pool, splash pad, and playground, but I wish it was a little bit better...

Went to this park to see the elf village. I gave four stars, because the overall experience was fantastic, but the village had mostly little elf looking houses that had lights, but only one display with windows and elves. It was advertising, which I'm fine with. I just had much higher expectations.

However, despite the long drive and the disappointment with what we ended up seeing, we weren't expecting all the lights and the beautiful Christmas tree. The overall experience ended up being so magical that we had a fabulous time, and absolutely loved our visit!

We were the only ones there on Christmas Eve, which made it even more magical. Not sure if we should have stayed long if it were crowded, but it was empty and...
