Independence Park 102 East Atchison Street, Atchison, KS 66002

"Ladies if your traveling alone this park is super sketchy. I typically stop along my travels at parks to stretch and do some yoga. While doing so some creeper stopped and tried to talk to me. I ignored him and went about my business. Lots of random pickups just pulling in and leaving, not parking. It was very odd and I would never stop here again. Luckily this female can protect herself and I will if I have to buy the fact I felt like I needed to makes me leave this review so other folks stay clear."

"The grandkids really liked it! There were a couple of slides, climbing, a tunnel, flower chime metal type drums and water spray for kids to cool off and have fun, they enjoyed their picnic lunch on the covered boat platform but they do have picnic tables if you prefer... The kids didn't want to leave!"

"It's a nice little water pad park for the kids, but other than that there's nothing there. Don't use the bathrooms unless somebody's cleaned them in the last couple years it's nasty sometimes in there. Well it used to be when I went in there, I go out in the sticks now. Lol"

"I was here 5 yrs ago & enjoyed taking pictures of this Bridge at night. So, I came back again, but found 1 set of lights not working. Really bummed, but my luck. Police need to cruise this area more as there were too many wanna be hot rods racing through the 20 mph area, & a lot of rattle trap music. Shame really. It's a nice stretch of road near the rivers edge."

"This is a very nice park. It is at the end of the Riverwalk and has a nice playground and splash park, lots of parking and shade. The bathrooms aren't great but at least it has bathrooms, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten to a playground and 2 minutes later one of the girls tells me they have to poop. I was surprised this wasn't listed on Google maps, it is very nice, pretty popular, and had definitely been there at least a few years. My kids loved it."
