It's a great park! It's very beautiful being right next to the river, and it has a lot of wide open space. I used to play at this park as a child and can attest to it being very fun haha! It has lots of things to climb and play on, and it has left me with amazing memories.

Lots of space to run outside the fenced area. Beautiful path right along the river. Bathrooms right next to the concert shell. The only downside I can see is that the bathrooms are far from the playground... spoken like a potty...
Read moreExcellent playground. Fantastic five out of five. Lots of real estate to work with, got a playground for big kids and for little kids and the little kid playground isn’t bad like they actually put effort into it. It actually looks fun. The big kid playground had some cool catacombs underneath the play structure and the whole thing look like a giant castle (which is super cool), a variety of swings, it got Spinny things it’s got the back-and-forth bouncy things a sand sandbox! Not a lot of playgrounds have sandboxes anymore. They don’t have the guts, but...
