"SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!! UPLIFTING! SERENE!! THE BEST ONE I HAVE BEEN TO IN THE US!!! WE SHARED JESUS IN THE PARK!!"
"Very nice place to bring the kids"
"I'm not sure as to why, but this has become my children's requested park to visit. The play areas are nice, as is having a bathroom close by. The location is enjoyable on the river, near ice cream shops, and easily accessible. The biggest complaint I have is with the loud, and sometimes aggressive teenagers that seem to hang out there. There have been times when they've taken over the playground equipment, chucking skateboards on it, etc, forbidding the young children to utilize it."
"Nice, modern playground with many features that are suitable for a wide age range. Nice shelter with picnic tables. Great view of the river, and you can walk right down by it. Riverwalk, bridge over the river."
