"Great place to stroll. My son is an adult now but used to go to that park when he was young and collect specimens from nature for his science class."
"It's a beautiful little nature trail away from the softball fields."
"Other than the weather that caused us to call the game it was nice. It reminded me of the fields we played on as kids. Not all the updated type stuff you find at your modern parks but I enjoyed it."
"I love cedar street park we always feed the turtles and fish then play on swings and slide"
"Great place to take the kids. Baseball games are always going on and next door is several tennis courts, basketball court, racquetball court, small playground, covered gazebo with picnic tables, and a small nature trail that leads to wooden boardwalk that connects to a covered gazebo overlooking a small pond that is filled with turtles and fish. Mostly 3 different turtle species have made this pond their home but every now and then you can get a glimpse of the large goldfish that swim in the very back away from the gazebo. The moss and algae that's covering the pond is the first time I've ever seen the pond covered in it and have been coming here for over 10 years. Usually the pond is clear which allows you to see many turtles, fish, and goldfish swim about. A fountain sits in the midst of the pond and helps filter the water whenever it is murky but this year (2016) a thick layer of algae, moss, and other water plants have created a barrier on top of the water preventing anyone from seeing anything that swims nearby. My son loves to feed them in the late afternoon and most turtles are used to seeing people who come to check them out. It's definitely something interesting and fun to do with little ones. Especially if visiting the park for a ball tournament, this area of the park is within walking distance from the ballfields. I recommend and this it is definitely worth checking out."
