Roubidoux Park — Local services in Waynesville

I wasn't expecting such a large or well maintained park in a small town. The park features a nice naturally shaded walking path, restrooms, soccer fields, a sizable playground which seemed to be designed with accessibility in mind for those less mobile (though a bit heavy handed on the "anyone associated with the military is a hero" theme) populated with kiddos and watchful parents, small outdoor theatre stage, creek access, a water play area, some covered picnic tables / dining areas and grills, and plenty of open field space. The park's walking path connects to the Roy Laughlin Park, south of the bridge, which has a handful of informational signs about the Trail of Tears (though rather white-washed / not emphasizing the genocide and atrocities committed against the natives nearly enough, in my opinion), and eventually to the Roubidoux Spring, which is a local swimming spot....

The par is awesome. Wheelchair accessibility to the playground area wheelchair accessibility to the bathroom wheelchair accessibility parking areas plenty of shade you can walk down to the Creek area that's fenced in area for the playground so it's easier to keep track of your children even though you should stay with him at all times picnic tables BBQ Pit there's warm water pump doesn't water park splash park on me everything you want for a day but don't let me forget the basketball court and fishing areas plus there's a sidewalk you can do exercises up and threw under the bridge of Waynesville to the...

For a small town, the park packs a big punch. A multi-million dollar playground “little heroes” was built a few years back… a river walk was paved to enjoy the scenic route along the river… sports teams enjoy the open fields, and the City just received a grant and planted 30 trees to improve upon the landscape, add trees and improve soil conditions to reduce flooding.

The splash pad is a must-visit.. all year long.

I Consistently enjoy...
