Baker Park

"Well I reported on this park before they only leave the public bathrooms open 6 months out of the year and the only public bathrooms that are available are at the bandshell they are currently closed they've been closed for about two months otherwise you have to use the outhouses they are kept clean most of the time and well supplied throughout the year. But they have been damaged by people. I never have fished at Culler lake which is a part of Baker park but it's next door to Baker park I have walked around it there are some boardwalks that goes slightly in towards the lake or less straddles the lake a little bit not much there are a couple benches at one end of the lake and you can sit along the banks of the lake and fish but I'm not much of fishing anyway. There is playground equipment on both ends of Baker park one up towards the armory the other 1 closer to the public pool for both adult as well as something like a zipline bar for anyone at any age to play on they got a fairly good-sized pool to use as well for all age groups .There are many different picnic tables w/ canopies throughout the park to use as well a handful of barbecue grills to use. People are allowed to fish in designated areas along the creek in areas of the park the creek is called Carroll Creek and it's goes through the city and Baker Park. There is a bandshell where bands play during the summer and partially into the fall with the auditorium of seats of about possibly 150 with handicap seating in the front approximately 15 ft from the stage or a little bit better plenty of trees to sleep under during the summer. And there's numerous trash receptacles throughout the park so you should have no problem finding a place to get rid of your trash. And you can rent anything in the park for a day or a few days whether it's the bandshell or a picnic table or whatever part of the park you want to use and you can go here to the armory and they will set up schedule dates for you to use the facilities. This is a pet friendly Park so you can bring your dogs or cats maybe even a horse and they do have yes little poop bags for you to pick up all your pets poop. And it is a requirement that you do pick up your dogs your pets waste Baker park I am guessing is on literary maybe around 120 to 150 acres possibly even more if you were to walk the walk path all the way out to Rosemont avenue along Carroll Creek I would estimate maybe a little over 200 acres. The only down thing about the park for me is you have people coming to this city from all over the country and maybe even the world that will say or do anything towards you and they're known to destroy the public property some of these people even tried to bum money off of you or really anything other than that you would have to put up with the city park maintenance mows The lawns practically all week somewhere in the park as well as cutting trees up throughout the summer well into the fall. I personally can't stand any loud noises and the mowers, chain saws, leaf blowers trucks, and the ATV's are an annoyance to have to hear when I'm trying to relax. The proper way to go deaf is to listen to loud music no matter what kind you want to listen to or too loud animals excluding humans ."

"Nature all around. Fun equipment for kids to play on. Quiet, a great place to relax, study or walk the dog."

"Went to the playground next to the pool. My son had a blast with his friends. Lots of different things to do for all ages."

"Enjoyed the staff, lots of space,chairs,seating with umbrellas and the price was reasonable."
