What an enormous park! Constantly getting maintenance, though not intrusively. It's peaceful. It's popular, and very busy at times, but not without space to spare when it is. They have a lot of parking within, as well as parallel parking on the roadside outside of the gates. Boaters seem to never be congested, bathrooms (prison style toilets but clean and stalls to separate the toilets in the women's . Multiple playgrounds, disc golf courses, ball fields, picnic tables and grills (some with cover). My favorite part of this park is the bird population. Lots of geese (and goslings right now!). Ducks, robins and small birds too. I've seen blue herons, hawks, and a Balde Eagle. If I could change one thing, I would loooove to have an enclosed/fenced area for off-leash dogs to run, play, and get the stimulation they need. I bring my dog each time. Lots of people walking their dogs, as well.

(Follow up: after seeing other pics, it appears we were on the backside of the park -- away from the main area). Adequate. Play area is intact -- Older, but serviceable. Bathrooms are inop, but there is a clean porta-potty. Pond is green and full of duckweed. Geese and accompanying poop are not in short supply. There was a large area by the play area that had numerous ground dwelling giant iridescent wasps -- pretty, but foreboding. People did seem to be enjoying the running trail. Aside from the guy pictured, most seemed to also enjoy the frisbee golf course.

Big beautiful clean park. There is so much space to spread out and so many different activities you can do here. One can play frisbee golf (course set up), fish, picnic, bike, observe the river. Tons of trees to keep it shady. But come prepared. The bathrooms are not convenient!! A great family park to spread out but plan accordingly! Each section (very long park) tends to have it's own designation for what one might want to do there. We enjoyed it for sure (team meeting). The squirrels are friendly.

Spent all day fishing and walking around this park with lots to do . Be it running jogging riding bike or fishing are spending time with your family this place offers a lot to do. I have read others comments saying that the Frisbee golf course is closed for the Year this is not true I've watched multiple people playing frisbee golf all day long. So how could this be the discourse is closed when multiple people are playing up until the sun going down. This is a nice park. Dog friendly

If you can get past the pervasive highway noise, this large, expansive park boasts tall, mature trees providing excellent shade, an abundance of open picnic areas, a couple of small playgrounds, and even some covered pavilions with a water view. For me it was hard to enjoy the sounds of wildlife due to the passing cars, nevertheless for those who want to take advantage of it's numerous bike trails or areas conducive to exercising should have no concerns.
