My grandkids love this park. It’s maintained and fairly clean, some people just litter despite several garbage cans. The equipment is fun and varied for the kids to play.
Great park. You can see they have made some upgrades to the play area. The bathrooms look great but are closed half the time. This isn’t idea when taking kids 5 and under who are potty training.
This is a great place for families and it has a lot of ducks that people can share with us humans.
Husband and I packed a lunch and even shared with the ducks/geese then enjoyed the views. Clean restrooms, nice benches along the river to watch the boats launch,and a player for the kids if you have them.
We enjoy breakfast in the “quite park” for it does get busy with children on play equipment! Lovely walking park for early morning seniors, bike trails& boaters coming & going as well. All respectful to the park & all the little baby geese & ducks. That BIG MALE MALLARD is Big Joe, he’s a loner but beautiful. 😊 you!
