West Endicott Park — Attraction in Town of Union

To be fair I went in mid April, when the park was still in the "off" season.

It's a small park. They have a nice big picnic area though, which is nice. I believe I saw two charcoal grills to use.

The playground is okay but it's nothing fancy. It had a big sandpit, with a roof over it. However it doesn't look like it can be covered, and I doubt that anyone would come and cover or uncover it. With the amount of stray cats in Endicott I'm concerned the sand pit would be a public toilet for cats and other animals.

If I had kids, I'd think twice about letting them play in the sand just because I'd worry about them getting sick.

I hope the sand pit is regularly covered and cleaned.

There's a carousel at this park. Or rather, there's usually a carousel here. I went over to the carousel building and peered inside to see nothing but a shell. A photo of this is attached this review.

I guess they dismantle it and store the horses elsewhere for their own safety, either from thieves/vandals or from the weather. It was almost eerie to see.

I do wish these carousels were in better enclosures so that they can be operational all year round. I can see wonderful Christmas fests in the park this way.

The park also had a basketball court I believe and it looked very well maintained but I can't speak more than that because I didn't look too closely.

There's also a pool at the front of the park. It was empty when I went, since it won't open until the end of May. It's very small. It ranges from 1ft to 3ft. Seeing it, I think I'd rather go to the Z Pool, since it's larger and slightly deeper.

I'd love to see a park with an indoor pool for year round swimming. I'd certainly enjoy that. But I digress.

The park overall is...

So I've gone here almost my whole childhood and I decided that I would tell about my experience there when I went back ☺️. It's a memorable place and its great for kids. But it's not very taken care of. Some of the playground squeaks and some are plain dangerous for the smaller kids. There were parents watching their kids climt to the TOP of the main playground set and kids hogging slides from others. And last I saw, the staff can be passive aggressive. Many of the staff were on their phones and weren't mature in the food booth. Life guards would literally see children pulling others down under water or fighting and they'd just talk to each other. So please, get responsible staff, refix the play ground, and PLEASE clean the park...

Nice little park to take young kids. The pool is shallow only 2½ feet deep at its deepest so it's perfect for young children. The play ground is modern and large in size. They even have a carousel that runs during the day. Concession stand is a little over priced but what do you expect they don't get their supplies whole sale or in super bulk. So they have to sell a bit...
