037 / 100 - 2018 YELP 100 CHALLENGE…read more What a great park! This place is dog friendly, but I saw a lot of runners in the area when I visited. There is tons of ample space and room to go for a walk, a run, or play with man's best friend. Dogs can be on leash or off leash - I saw a mix of both. Everyone we ran into was very friendly and nice. We didn't see any aggressive dogs (nor did we encounter any) and if we wanted to move away to a more secluded area, there was plenty of room to do that. From what I could tell, most of the park is clean. Of course there were some areas that some dog owner's didn't pick up after their pets, but not as bad as you might anticipate. Great view and a great location to take tons of cute photos. Loved this park and would definitely recommend!

Once you go further inside it gets a little chaotic and better for older kids. But overall had a great time and pretty good value for the price. Kid has been here for almost 2 hrs and do not sure any signs of wanting to leave. You do have to bring your own grip socks or buy it although I don't know if they really monitor it.

Toddlers get a sand pit in addition to a fun train and slide structure. The only things to call out are that there isn't as much shade for some of the main play areas and the tiered levels layout of the playground makes it difficult to keep an eye on multiple kids.

A few more picnic tables would be nice, but there's plenty of grass space and there are 2 separate playgrounds. The structures could use some updating, but overall it's a nice little park.

The hill is perfect in the warmer months to have a picnic or toss a frisbee or football with some friends. In the winter, it's the best sledding hill.

Some of the stuff is a little run down/dirty but considering it's free you really can't complain. There are many repeat toys in case it's crowded there should be something for everyone. Fair amount of shade makes this a nice place to hang out even on a hot day. I like the benches and tables for families as well as the water fountains.

It has two large connected play structures, a swing set, see-saw, a sand box, tons of toys and bikes that have been generously donated for a chance at a second life. The place gets crazy busy though. The after work crowd on a weekday is enough to incite a panic attack - especially for a newbie playground mom like myself, and quite frankly, I'm petrified of even trying to go on a weekend. That's not to say there isn't room for everyone, though. With the plethora of benches and tables, there really is room for everyone. D There are tons of abandoned (okay: "donated") toys left around - for the sand box and for kids to ride on, play in, etc. which adds to the play options. I love the access from here to the pond; it makes taking a walk around the pond before or after the playground a nice option. Not to mention all the shops and restaurants right on Center Street as well. There is easily accessible parking behind the playground - it is the public parking lot in JP behind Blanchards. It is 2 hours only, but that is usually more than enough time to get in and out of the playground. It's nice to not have to troll around for a parking spot.

The field and playground are terrific, but there's a small ice cream shop on the playground that I…read moreneed to put on blast. There were two very young employees there when I visited. I ordered chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but they intentionally gave me plain vanilla ice cream, and then cackled with glee that they'd tricked me. Then one gave me "trash ice cream" while the other gave me "disgusting ice cream." Finally, one employee relented and gave me the ice cream I ordered, but the other employee kept snatching it away and eating it herself. 0/5 stars for the ice cream parlor.
