St. Marys Waterfront Park - Howard Gilman Memorial Park — Attraction in St. Marys

Nice little city park on the riverfront. It had swings facing river and docks/piers to sit and watch the boats (or fish from). There is a nice fountain, gazebo, and small amphitheater, as well as a playground and picnic tables. On one end of the park (towards the boat ramp) is a small building with restrooms (plumbing, not outhouse style) and Knuckleheads (a snack stand and stuff like kayak rentals). The park is kept clean overall and plenty of trashcans for refuse. The park is frequently used for local events such as parades, concerts, festivals, food truck Saturdays, etc. It's conviently located in the historic riverfront area so short walk to a couple restaurants, bars, antique shops, gift shops, and such. Occasional tall ship the Peacemaker docks nearby too within walking distance. My only complaint is the biting gnats (no-see-ums) but that's a problem everywhere in...

We spontaneously came here because it started to rain and the other water Park closed down.

It was very nice when we arrived and it was only sunshowers. My kids enjoyed walking around and they enjoyed the very small Park they had there. The park they have is very sturdy very fashionable I absolutely adored it.

This park is so nice I would drive an hour back just to visit sit down and view some boats.

There was even some men fishing and that was exciting to watch that sport.

My family will be returning this place is great for all ages.

The water is not so close there is land separating your child from drowning which not a lot of places have.

Before your child goes down you will see your child run across a patch of grass before entering that water.

Yes I'm a paranoid mother. This place was safe...
