Settlers Park — Attraction in Meridian

Settler's Park has amazing facilities and opportunities.

As a family with diverse ages of children, we've learned that there's no such thing as "fun for any age." Especially with our young teens. But, Settler's Park is the closest thing we've found.

The facilities include wheelchair friendly play areas, swings that fit people up to adult sizes and easily adapt to physical needs such as physical handicaps. There are rocks for climbing, a water splash pad, many fields for baseball, soccer, kite flying, and just running around. They offer concessions in the warm months and have movie nights sometimes in the summer, both for families and for teens - on separate nights. Those are heavily patrolled by Police who are very friendly and the movies are tame. It's really well managed and run.

There is a fishing pond, a musical instruments area, and the play areas don't use bark or gravel, but have the type of rubber surface that allows wheelchairs to easily access all areas, but still softens a fall with the rubber padding.

In addition, they have new tennis courts, shuffle board, and good parking. It's great to rent pavilions and we've enjoyed several parties and picnics there. Hosting our own was easy and nice to have activities for many people besides just talking. The reservation system was simple, the staff were helpful, the pavilions have power, and the overall experience allowed us to invite many more people than we could have had at our own home.

Went to movie in the park... HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! They post rules about talking, loitering, etc... then they didn't enforce it. Teens were walking around all over the park having loud conversations after the movie began. Also, someone set off some fireworks- I heard popping sounds and saw people running, not a good idea right now with all the mass shootings happening. There were city officials and police there but they weren't doing anything to stop it from happening. Oh, and the icing on the cake was the lady fiddling with the projector before the movie started... for like 30 minutes! Made the movie start too late. Then the volume was WAY too loud, my ears are ringing from it... but they probably had to turn it up because of all the teens taking in back. I went to this 5 or so years ago with my kids and it was way better than this. This... no, I won't go...

this is by far the coolest park I've been to for kiddos! They have tons of picnic areas, a few covered and appeared to be reservable.There is a large splash pad with water activities for kids of all ages. Then the playground, wowzers! Where so I start!? There a huge play structure with multiple slides, ways to climb up, sensory toys and bridges. Then there's a smaller structure for littler kids, with lots to check out. Then the coolest part is the musical area, tons of giant chimes and drums. Way cool.There's also a rock climbing area with giant (fake) boulders for kids to climb up.I love that the play areas are covered in a foamy absorbable rubber. It's not only nice to walk on but obviously is there to aid in decreasing booboos. The bathroom facilities are also very nice. They have a multi stall woman's and men's as well as a family or gender...
