Reviews
I like playing here, lots of other children come her great place to make new friends but there are lots of rules like no loud music and I love for music this is my 3rd choice of a park I would go to but overall pretty good place to play.
I took my grandsons here there were book pages wet all over water pad, socks, towel, I cleaned it up…so it turned out to be ok I wish people would treat it nicely we don’t have any water pads in our town (Gloucester city). You should be lucky
Awesome park to take the kids!! The water park is very nice. Just make sure you watch your children very closly when playing in the water, as this is a known drug user area and I have actually witnessed used dirty needles on the ground in this park area. The town has definitely cleaned this park up alot but you can never be to careful.
It was fun I had alot of fun at that park with my friends we go there every Sunday to play soccer and we even play with random people sometimes or we just play between our self.
Park has a lot of potential and could definitely use an upgrade to attract a better audience and more tourists visiting the city. Upgraded playground equipment, a filtered water fountain and unisex restrooms are recommended. In June, I was harassed and physically assaulted at this park, in the presence of children, as I was trying to leave. Due to this matter, I also highly recommend an increase of park surveillance and “law enforcement.”
