Beautiful day at Thompson Park for their Family Day. So much to entertain our kids, grandkids. Food trucks, archery, zombie zone. Art, small rides, build strawpeople, hay ride, so much more…totally enjoyable. Park is always large and wonderful.

Absolutely love it here. The mornings are beautiful. You can’t ask for better scenery. My son loves the park playground and our dog loves all the smells.

Gorgeous park & lot of trails. We had read the tips from other reviews about the reservoir trail before embarking on it, but we still managed to miss a turn & ended up on a different trail. I agree that the trail markings can definitely use some reworking. But overall, its a beautiful park & we enjoyed it a lot.

One of my favorite places to hike with my dog. Great variety of trails. Really wonderful and surprising amount of wildlife as well from bald eagles to foxes and numerous hawks. They have cross country skiing in the winter and canoeing in the warmer months.
