"If you're going to a city park anywhere near downtown bring your own diapers. They closed all the restrooms, replaced them with a single non ADA Porta-Potty where the existing structure had 4 to 6 toilets with one or two being a urinal. If there's enough parking and enough people casually walking through, your right to relieve yourself is gone. People with prostate problems, wheelchairs, elderly... Going to a public park can be a very embarrassing thing. City council will not let people assemble unless you now pay for a permit to use something that's all ready bought and paid for. What Grand Junction is doing is absolutely disgusting."

"Moved back here from Utah, 6 years ago and started coming here, because we live close. I've seen the little changes and enjoy walking with my dog. It's the right distance from my home."

"Never seen a city that puts more to it's park district and city works than it does for the police at 911....u gotta give um a thumbs up! Shoot they just totally remodeled my own park the 'RIVERSIDE PARK, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM NEW BENCHES FREE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS A NEW JUNGLE GYM MENS AND WOMENS BATHROOMS THREE GAZEBOS PUBLIC DRINKING NEW PROFESSIONAL BASKET COURTS...I COULD GO ON.....BUT MIKEY"

"Canyon View Dog Park is a disgrace, neglected, water fountains do not work, grass not cut regularly, irrigation is abysmal, trash can with feces needs to be emptied regularly, before a 30 gallon container is full. The smell in this heat, at the entrance when one walks in, is overwhelming and unhealthy. Obviously they have the expertise by the ball fields great care, but this window to people passing through on I70 with their pets, is a disgrace."

"OUTSTANDING customer service, and very quick response times! I called because I wanted to sign my child up in one of their programs, but of course, I was 2 weeks past the registration deadline, which was obviously my fault! But I thought I’d reach out to see if there was any small chance they could still fit us in. Not only did they go above and beyond to accept us into the program (huge shout out to Shon, who kept up communication with me via calls and emails, despite the fact that he wasn’t even supposed to be working at that time. He was supposed to be on his previously approved personal time off, yet he took the time to help me out, even after realizing that I had missed the deadline). If that isn’t dedication and customer service, I don’t know what is! Furthermore, I had a great experience talking with the front desk team! They were polite and incredibly helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions. Now, all of the above is plenty of reasons enough for me to be so grateful and appreciative, but it gets even better! I had mentioned a specific team/coach we were looking to work with, but I figured there was no way I would get my hopes up about that, I was honestly just thrilled that they were able to fit us into the program at all! Well, low and behold, I was notified the NEXT DAY that not only were we in the program, but they got us on the team we had mentioned, with the coach of our preference!! There are no words to describe the joy that has been radiating from my kiddo ever since I delivered the good news… and that’s the best feeling in the world! I can’t say enough positive things about my experience so far, and I’m very much looking forward to working with GJ Parks and Rec moving forward!"
