Reviews
First of all, filthy. Needs to be updated and upgraded badly. Grass needs to be cut. Visitors need to make their children clean up their trash. It’s a very cool structure it’s a shame that it’s in such poor condition.
Van houten park is an awesome park. We love going there. There’s so much to do there. The boys love the hockey rink, basketball court, the splash pad and the play structure. Our church has an inner city kid’s program that also frequently uses the awesome splash pad and play structure. There’s also a baseball diamond. My family loves this place so much that we even rented the pavilion and had our wedding reception here.
I definitely enjoyed this park with ny kids. They loved it. It seems pretty new but I’m not sure if that’s the same park but I do remember goin last year and it being closed and it looks pretty new to me. But I love it. This is our park now our go to spot!!
Nice renovation. Kids had lots of fun
I brought my kids (ages 7, 8, 10) here and they really enjoyed it. The new play structure was really nice, and they rolled down the big pipe that has turf on it like it was a hill several times. I was disappointed the big wooden structure in all the photos wad gone, but the new playground is really nice.
There is a bathroom building (still locked for winter when we were there) and with the splash pad, picnic areas, and the nice playground, we’ll be back in warmer weather.
