Oddstad City Park

"It's a somewhat small park but we'll maintained and with spectacular views!"

"Good place for hiking. Not busy and fairly well maintained"

"It used to be a cute little park I would take my family to enjoy a quiet picnic after a visit to the beach, but sadly no more. The upper teir no longer has a lawn to relax on as a potable building has been installed. The lower teir still has the basketball hoop and parking spots but the park no longer feels like the quiet little-known feel that it used to. I understand that the park now has a different use than it had before, but I miss the quiet, out of the way refuge, it used to be."

"Today was just a quick stop to stretch my legs been coming here 4 years now nice spot"

"ITS HARD FOR ME TO GIVE A GRADE TO A PARK THAT I'VE KNOWN MY WHOLE LIFE THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY BY A LOCAL PERFORMANCE ORGANIZATION. I REMEMBER THE PARK HAD SWINGS, PICNIC TABLES ON BOTH UPPER ;;LOWER LEVELS. THE CITY WORKERS SLOWLY LET THE PARK GO DOWNHILL. WHILE I'M TRYING TO PRESERVE THE PARK OVER THE YEARS. IT USED TO HAVE A GREAT BIG LAWN ON THE UPPER LAWN WHICH I PLAYED WITH MY DOGS SINCE PUPS.THAT HAS ALL BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY THE SPINDRIFT PERFORMING ARTS WHOM PUT 9 TRAILERS IN A RESIDENTIAL PARK. JUST ONE TABLE IN FRONT NOW.WHAT A SAD THING THAT PARENTS OF THIS PERFORMING ARTS NOW WANT TO VOLUNTEER TO FIX UP THE AREA WELL I MUST SAY WHERE WERE THEY WHEN THE PARK NEEDED TO BE SAVED?. YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE MEMORIES I HAVE WITH THIS PARK. IT'S STILL ODDSTAD PARK TO ME YET ITS NOT QUITE THE SAME NOW.I GIVE IT A ONE FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE PARK I GIVE IT 5 FOR THE MEMORIES. OVERALL A 3 STAR. THERE IS A SMALL SLIDE /SWING ON LOWER LEVEL, THE BASKETBALL HOOP HAS BEEN TORN DOWN. I GUESS THE SPINDRIFT PEOPLE WANT TO BUILD A BIGGER PARKING ;LOT."
