North Street Recreation Area — Attraction in Waterville

This is great park to walk around play with the kids if it was summertime the water slide and the pool would be awesome. As for me I really enjoyed The walking trail It stretches out a good ways and follows along the river which I believe made it more enjoyable. The walkway is paved without tripping hazards which made it good for running jogging or just walking and talking with friends. I would definitely recommend this to anybody that's outdoors type. Only small complaints the playground area has gone downhill many people have told me that if you have kids they wouldn't take their kids there now because the lack of playground equipment makes it too crowded. I would definitely enjoy seeing some of our tax dollars go to improve that area. Would rather see kids playing at the playground with their family and friends instead of being on...

Especially, when it would have been 20 more minutes south for us and could have gone to Windham water park & had a great labor day weekend. Definitely will do...

The North Street Playground USED TO BE a great little place to gather for children of all ages. The recent renovation is SHOCKINGLY inadequate and inferior. This is NOT an improvement. It wasn't necessary. The previous reviews posted here are based on the old park. Whomever designed and approved these changes has quite obviously never been to a GOOD city park. No shade. No benches. No trash control. Inadequate and inconvenient toileting facilities. The covered picnic tables are greaT ! Why did they remove the concrete? The black gravel makes it virtually impossible to keep the children's hands clean during lunch. It is beyond sad. The citizens of Waterville should be outraged at the expense WASTED on...
