Reviews
Gorgeous little oasis of a park. A beautiful landscape in a wonderful area. Take in a stroll, a bench to read or walk around. Just a gorgeous park
Lovely place. Nice park and trails. I love the musical station.
Small and fun and picturesque park. Walking path leads out of park but otherwise there are no hiking trails. There is a nice river running through the middle and a small foot bridge. Plenty of benches and a few picnic tables. Bathroom is typically available in the city building and sometimes there is a portapotty.
Beautiful park. Great playground for all ages. The river and the gazebo are outstading to contemplate or for a photoshoot sesion. So peaceful and joyful. After spending some time here you can walk to the main street where you can find so many restaurant options to grab a bite, ice cream shops, coffee shops or to do some regular shopping.
Amazing park for an amazing city.
There is a paid parking lot, and clean restroms are available. There are picnic tables as well. Dog friendly thou leash required. There’s a little free library. A lot of events are held here all year round.
Lovely place, beautiful landscaping, and so many ducks. I enjoy bringing the dogs here to train with distractions, because it isn’t what I’d call a quiet place a lot of the time (there is a playground), but it’s worth visiting and taking in the nature.
