Cool little waterfront park with a nice view of both the mid hudson bridge as well as the walkway over the hudson. There are a few quiet/shaded areas both at the north end near the walkway as well as the south end.

The playground is decent for kids (the south end of the park) albeit occasionally littered. The one in the middle portion should be torn down/removed.

The skatepark is also a nice element, although it would be cool if the city would make a little more budget room to keep it updated or expand a bit.

It would be nice if the city would cleanup/make use of the building facilities there - they seem to be mostly dormant.

Overall a nice element next to downtown Poughkeepsie - but a little underutilized and a little less well kept than it should be.

*Occasionally individuals have expressed to me that their impressions are that the park is unsafe - to date, my family has generally always felt safe there.
