I was surprised how big it was. There are plenty of parking around the park. I saw a nice trail for people to walk on which is fantastic. On the park itself there are two big bridges I saw and in the distance is also a playground area with jungle gym for little ones to play at. Quite a lively park with many people utilizing it. There are many big and established grown trees providing lots of shade. This park is great for sports and outdoor activities because of the open space. There was no trash on the floor and the park is pretty well kept.

Its you agai st the river. For young children, life jackets are a good idea. Its noticeable that a large majority that take park over early on are inconsiderate of nature and could care less if they trash the place. Then there's people who go through the trash cans dumping everything out? Looking for recycles....which is fine, but dont leave the trash on tbe ground...put it back. Low lifes do crap like that. Anyway, the 2nd visit everything got super real as we nearly drowned farther down. I thought I had it under control but when you no longer see rocks, its time to back up before the current pushes you to where you can no longer stand ground. We were swept away about 1/4 mile swimming against the current. Honestly. I believe our crocs helped keep us from becoming too tired. Finally I was able to pull and push my daughter from the left of me around to the right bank where I told her to grab onto branches from a tree submerged in the water. I thought I was a gonner after she had been hanging on me and I was quickly losing my stamina. I was lucky enough to catch branches a few yards down and we both made it. It was traumatizing to say the least and im so thankful we didnt experoence the undertow Ive heard so much about. As traumatizing as it was, I plan on returning, but staying only where river rocks are visible to tbe nakedness eye. Beware going too far be ause it gets deep real fast. Besides that incident, we had a fun time. Be ssfe.

I had high hopes for this park but it is disgusting. Residents leave trash everywhere even though…read morethere are trash cans all around. Cars are driven up to the water even though signs say not to. The county needs to clean up their bathrooms because they are very dirty. Half the people just drive in and don't pay the car fee. All around this place has so much potential but it is lost due to lazy people and even worse, state management.

So when my parents took me out to lunch we decided to have a Panda Express picnic at Rotary Park. The breeze was on point. However the tables definitely needed a cleaning. I have not see any illegal activities yet but I am highly aware of illegal activities taking place at large parks but I have only stayed an hour or less and only seen children playing, mothers strolling their babies and elderly couples taking a brisk walk. I will be back and I would love to bring my nieces here too! I love parks and fresh air. I felt safe at this park no bad vibes will be back.

Courthouse Park has a lot to offer. From shady parking to a local museum to a stage for special…read moreevents, this patch of grass-and-monuments is a welcome addition to the middle of Madera. Its biggest problem, however, it shares with all of Madera's parks: it's full of vagrants. The lawns serve as a bed for as many as a couple dozen people a night, from drunken farm laborers to vagabonds with shopping carts full of garbage, this is a prime place to crash for those who have nowhere else. Despite all that, the city keeps it fairly clean, but the place the locals call Old Man's Park remains an undesirable place to take a family, or have a picnic, or just go for a walk.
