Park has a nice concrete walking path that totals about a mile long. You always see wildlife when walking, which is nice when being in town. There is also a large dog park with plenty of benches and a water faucet. Though it does flood from time to time. 2 baseball fields, that are pretty well kept up and a small bathroom instead of an outhouse. The tennis court is rather run down and well as the children’s area. Could use a little work to that but a lot of good open areas. There is also a shelter house and a fish stand the town opens in the summer here and there.
Nice park but I don’t know why the city would put up a sign honoring John Wesley Powell. He was a evil racist!!
The playground is very simple yet fun for kids, the trail is a nice way to walk your doggos. They have a shelter house good for party’s and restrooms in the park are usually clean.
Nice infrastructure in the dog park but no maintenance in a long time. I’m new here. I appreciated the spacious grassy fenced area and the covered bench but there is nothing else here to accommodate pet owners. Next time I am here I will bring some poo bags, garbage bags to replace in the filled up cans, and maybe a tree sapling or two to provide future shade.
We stopped for a quick 1 1/2 walk. The path along the stream was enjoyable and more sunny than I expected. Sadly, the rest of the park needed a bit of TLC. Maybe we just visited on the day before it was mowed.
