First of all the ice was very choppy and not smooth, talking with the manager I was not impressed he’s said that smoothed the ice 3 hours ago and they do it every 3 hours. With the amount of people that skate there definitely not enough. The rental skates are all speed skates hockey style and for a novice skater like myself they are hard to use even worse when the ice is very choppy. The only reason I’m giving a two star review is because the park is very aesthetically pleasing and nice and new. The only employees-that where not rude and actually did their jobs well where the people working the hot Chocolate booth. The manager was. Rude even after I explained my displeasure and the people taking in the new skates made you tie your own skates together. If you are looking for a place to skate in South Bend go down the road to Notre Dame at the Compton Family ice arena much better experience.

Plenty of concrete walking paths. The concrete walkways have the smoothest surface. The Howard Park Public House is located within the park. Cool vibe and atmosphere. For the cooler weather there are fire pits with seats that surround fire pit. Nice ambiance. The kids area is the coolest I've ever seen. There are different slides with various heights. The climbing area is neat. I love that the entire floor in kids area is covered with a soft foam but sturdy enough to withstand the foot traffic. The jungle gym area is unique and not your typical. The design and layout is awesome. A nice addition to Howard Park. Howard Park is within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The city atmosphere is inviting and fun.

One of the best parks we've been to and my kids' personal favorite. They offer so much to do. There's a public house where they make their signature upside-down burger. There's lit up water fountains in the summer, yoga lessons, and fire pits for warmth in the winter. Huge, three section playground with fun equipment kids actually like playing on with a padded ground. Beautiful sceneries by the bridge and walking trails. They also offer skating in the winter, skate rentals with hot cocoa. If you've never been here, please make a point to check it out. Especially, if you have kids.

This park is awesome for children of all ages. There is a great amount of play structures to play in and climb on. There is also a splash pad to play in a well. Since this park is in the center of downtown, it is fairly busy all the time, but there is a lot of room for everyone to enjoy. There are also places to bike or walk around the river and see the river lights at night, which is beautiful, and I have added a few pictures even though they don't do it justice, really. This is a must-see in the evening and so many sights to see waking around.

I visited this park at night. The walking paths outside the skating rink are tree lined and lit with sparkling delicate white lights making it an ideal location to take a midnight stroll. I watched the people, young and old enjoying the play ground area and the climbing rocks. Couples strolled the ever winding paths hand in hand. I would like to go back and investigate more on what this park has to offer during the day, but for now, I think Howard Park in downtown South Bend, Indiana is a magical place to visit at night!
