Wow, this is a beautiful park. I wish we had taken more pictures! Pet friendly, and easily…read moreaccessible. There's lots of parking. There is a Garfield statue here (one of the many in Grant county). This park was so nice, I was surprised it was free admission. Beautiful fountains, lots of educational information, and butterflies everywhere. In my opinion, the garden alone is worth a quick day trip.

It was one of the nicest parks I found all day! The park serves as a spot for everyone. There is a pond as well as having the river run by the west side of the park. There are baseball fields. There is a really nice playground with plenty of parking, shade, restrooms, and a series of swings that are fully accessible for kids with physical challenges. There is an amphitheater on the hill for entertainment. All in all, it is a really nice park for a town of about 6000 people. Review #2234

By the lot are the single shelter (paved concrete flooring) and the playground. Beyond the playground is a basketball court and a baseball field. The park appeared to be generally well maintained, but the equipment could use some touch up paint in the spring to restore its look. Review #2243

The other day we spent an afternoon at this waterpark and the kids had a blast, they are already…read moreasking again to go! It's been hot here and everything water related sounds good! Our favorites were the wave pool and the lazy river. We didn't have little ones so we didn't use the kid's area. There is plenty of lounging chairs but if it's super busy these may fill up pretty fast. Luckily you can also set your stuff up in the grassy area too. These are my tips for visiting: 1. Best hours are between after lunch and close. 2. You gotta keep your water bottles, drinks, and snacks in the car. So pack a cooler for breaks or purchase from their snack bar (affordable prices & had 1/2 food after 5pm!). You can also bring in empty bottles to fill up. 3. Stay with your little ones in the wave pool. While our older kids loved the high wave hours, it can been rough for little guys. 4. Check Groupon, they were admission packs available! 5. The "toilet plunge" waterslide is a little rough for little kids, and kids must be 48" or taller for the water slides so they are great for older kids. And there is a specific kid area for the smaller kids! 6. Pack your own beach towels, sunscreen. 7. They aren't really any shaded area, so bring something, like a shade tent, to set up in the grassy areas if preferred.

Very Affordable, the wave pool is bomb, but the slides are meh and the toilet bowl looking one…read morehurts your back.

On the west end of downtown Upland is a nice park that features baseball, basketball, a playground,…read morea shelter, and picnic tables. The courts and ballfield look like they are in good condition. The playground area has a mulch base and a variety of pieces to swing, climb, and slide on. There is also a gazebo and additional picnic tables in the mature shady tree area. My only negative was parking. I saw several vehicles pulled onto the grass to get out of the single lane drives through the park. If there is additional parking by the playground, it must be somewhere not obvious to most of the park visitors. Review #2552

The sign was damaged and left lying on the ground. New posts need to be provided. There is a really small gazebo style shelter and a small playground, but no other amenities exist. Another problem is there is a creek that has sanitation runoff issues running through the park. Doesn't really sound very inviting! Parking is limited to a small patch of gravel on the south end of the park. Review #2250

I still go here sometimes when I'm sad, and the bridge in the back has pretty scenery of trees and the river. To my knowledge, the playground is very safe to play on. Nothing is broken.

There is easy access for those houses, and for the rest of the neighbors, there are a couple openings where no houses were built on the lots that allow people access to the facilities.

There is a cabin from 1834 that belonged to Obadiah Jones, whom the town was named after. The park also has basketball, shelters, two playgrounds, disc golf, and some baseball fields on the southern end. There is a gravel parking lot on the north end of the park along with one of the shelters close by. But neither are in the best shape. Some TLC would help the park return to a better appearance, and of course, funding would help a lot. Still, lots of space and a variety of things to do here. Review #2235

In the middle, there are some shelters including a large pavilion with the James Dean Memorial Stage. There is also a nice playground with a special section fenced off for physically challenged children which has a swing that a wheel chair can roll up onto.

The park also has a small playground (swings and a fort slide), a couple shelters, and a basketball court. There is also some open space and an assortment of shade trees, but not so many as to block the view of the river. There is limited parking by the launch ramp on the south side of the park. A parking area for one of the nearby restaurants on the north side of the park may be used as well. The park gets its name from the historic Charles Mill which was built next to the dam in the river in 1836. The park is just south of that landmark location. The mill has become revitalized as a restaurant and the dam can still be viewed. Review #2249
