Bates Memorial Park

"Nice for a little stroll but it’s often more of a swamp"

"The playground is full of kids. There were all kinds of things to play on and climb. The walking area on the playground is made soft. There was probably 200 kids and adults on Sunday in mid Feb. It’s a popular place.The doggie park is awesome they have areas sectioned off for different size dogs with plenty of room to run full speed. I came because the description says it has walking trails which it does but they were very muddy. They are dirt trails I was hoping for cement trails that are clean. One of the benches by the lake looked like the dirt had eroded away from the posts and if you sat on it. It looks like it could collapse into the water from a good distance. If I paid taxes in this town I would be upset that it wasn’t fixed but I can’t complain since I’m a guest. Overall It is a great place to bring your kids and dogs, just staying away from the lake area that is closest to the doggie park might be best."
