The lake was huge and has boat ramps. We saw some locals fishing on the lake. There are also plenty of trails available for hiking and mountain biking. We only had time to explore one of the trails in the woods and were lucky enough to see so many wild lives such as deer, armadillos and fireflies! I would be here daily if I live in Meridian.

This park is a freaking gem and should be a state park based on how maintained and organized it is…read more There's a large reservoir with lights that is very family friendly. There are also miles of trails / mountain bike trails in the woods surrounding the water that is decently maintained and marked. The trails remind me of a Lone Star Trail or Huntsville State Park and are easy enough for a family to walk through but interesting enough to mountain bike or trail run through. It smells like the piney woods and still feels wild enough inside the forest to make it fun and interesting. We saw a bunch of wildlife; deer, armadillos, fireflies, etc on the hike and did not get to explore all of it. There's also boat launches and easy and free public parking. A great spot if you're ever in Meridian or if you live here, you better be here 5 times a week.

I've been here with people, by myself, and everything. I really recommend going to picnic here cause it's nice and relaxing. Plenty of dogs here too. This path also leads to the river market on Saturdays. There's also some food places along the trail as well. Just a nice little area. Overall: 10/10 would recommend for hanging out, walking, picnic dates, etc

It doesn't look like much on the outside.The parking area is large and gravel covered. They have handicapped parking right next to the bridge that is the entrance to the park. The bridge crosses Goose Pond Creek. People often fish from the bridge or just prop up to take in the peaceful flow of water and see if they can glimpse the fish below. The park just received an update. The much used, cracked and broken walking trail has been re-paved and looks wonderful, cutting through the grass, trees, and flowers. Multiple benches line the walk way, providing nice shady spaces to relax or read. Lamps provide light for late afternoon to late night visitors. Also on the walking trail are a set of restrooms that are usually clean. There is plenty of room to play here, among the trees. Look closely and you may find a Kindness Rock. For those unfamiliar with these little happy pick me ups, Kindness Rocks are rocks or pavers that people paint positive happy artwork on and hide for others to find and collect. The idea is that one message, at the right time, can change someone's entire day, outlook, life. Some are quite beautiful. There are Facebook groups dedicated to giving clues where to find them. Come try to find some or paint your own and leave them in the park to brighten someone's day. Squirrels are plentiful, here, and almost tame. They are used to visitors bringing them peanuts and will follow you. The park has a nice pavilion for picnics or parties. It's quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, if you have a dog, they can not accompany you across the bridge, into the main park. Dogs are more than welcome on the long walking trail right before you cross the bridge to your right, though. It will take you straight across to the city park, which has a children's playground, pavilion, walking trail, picnic tables, base ball fields, tennis courts, and disk golf. Goose Pond Park stays pretty busy. There are usually people walking the trails anytime you visit. The shade from the trees gives welcome relief from the heat in the Summer. I highly recommend you check it out.

Riverfront Park is a 12 acre park that has a running/bike trail, a playground (butterfly…read moreplayground), benches, a splash pad, and one of the best views of the Pettus Bridge that you will find. What it does not have is a bathroom, and the large building that is part of the park is fenced off and under construction. The park is not very well maintained and in dire need of TLC. They just recently added the butterfly playground in 2017, so it is pretty much modern equipment and has swings, a few slides, and tetter-totters. It is accessible, but not very big. One of my complaints about the park is that some of the benches look right into some heavy brush and does not have much of a view. I was tettering between a 3 and 4 rating. Howver, the view of the bridge and the history of the park pushed me to a 4. The park has ample parking up top on the street overlooking the park. I hope the city is able to reinvest in this park and bring it back to life. It is a very quiet and peaceful park. I enjoyed the time that I spent there and
