Reviews
"What an awesome park it is. Jaco Pastorius Park is super greeny with a nice view on it. Really great for family bonding, and a dog friendly environment. Kids will definitely enjoy being there."
"Love going every year to see the lighting of the tree @ Jaco Pastorius park. Enjoy seeing Santa come down street on fire truck, and then marching on with NE band!"
"One of the best parts I've ever been to with my dog. A lot of people with their dogs go and all of them are well-behaved well 95% of them. Very clean and the people are amazing."
"I am going to give this park high marks for a few reasons. First, they maintain this park very well. There is a circular quarter mile trail that you can. The park has some great landscaping and grassy areas where you can sit down and enjoy a nice day. I find the murals on the park building very well done. You will also find many dogs walking in the morning and in the evening. There is a water fountain that greets you. The park closes at dark and is locked."
