Review Visit: October 11th, 2014…read more A small fun gem in Bloomington. My dad and I came here after exploring Bloomington and it was one of our last stops. It was a great way to end a fun day. Bloomington has a ton of parks and this one is on the nicer side of them. Opened up in 2012, this park is still in really great shape and it is nestled in a great community/sub-division. The park offers your typical playground, easy access to 'Gaelic Lake', walking paths that are relaxing to traverse and a nearby soccer field. The path/bridge over to Gaelic Lake really helps elevate the niceness of the park and helps amplify the peacefulness. If you catch yourself in Bloomington and want to spend a nice day at a quite park, Gaelic is sure to fulfill that. Small playground but a huge walking area, so if you need some alone time, you can go wander while the kids play on the playground.

I wasn't even aware this park existed until my son's soccer team started having practice here…read more It's a hidden gem in the middle of a couple of subdivisions. It's got a wide open space for soccer, football, and other field events. It has 3 half court basketball courts, a small baseball/t-ball field, and a playground. The playground is pretty large with one area for smaller kids and another area for bigger kids. In the middle of all of this is a winding stream with a grasslands area and a beautiful bridge between the lake and the stream.

Review Visit: October 11th, 2014…read more Another park visited in Bloomington! This was one of a few parks my dad and I visited while in Bloomington. In fact, I have written many blogs on them as of late. So if you are tired of seeing Park blogs, I am almost done for awhile. Anyways, on to the park! This one is a bit more ambitious than your standard park. It has a football field and a basketball court. May be the first park I've been to that has a football field. Then it has your typical playground and some covered areas for grilling/cooking out. There are some large open fields to wander and feel at peace. Overall, it was a decent park. There was a section of some fake grass/cement that needed repair (as seen below). Not sure what was up with that. I do remember the wide open fields were nice. It's not the best park Bloomington-Normal has, but it's not the worst. Definitely check it out if you are in the area and need to wear your kids out.

Savannah Green Park is pretty much a green space for the nearby residents. Features include a basketball court. There's also a playground, so it's good for kids. For a small residential park it's pretty okay for what it is. It's certainly not a park that has enough of a reason to come to from other parts of town. This is pretty much used by those who live nearby, like those across the street and whatever. Has a basketball court with a few baskets. You can also have a picnic in the small pavilion that has a few tables. Main feature is the playground. There's standard equipment like slides and swings. Good park for this area. It's located on Bull Street at Hull Street. This is mostly used for playing, but it can also be used for picnics, and other things.

Review Visit: October 22nd, 2014…read more Clearwater Park should also be called Spacious Park. Clearwater Park is one of many city parks in Bloomington-Normal. The city has literally 7+ parks, if I am seeing this map right. But what sets this one apart from the others? Space. This park is relatively bigger than a standard park. It has basketball courts, a volleyball sand pit area, a playground, a gazebo for parties and openness. I didn't spend a whole lot of time here, but I enjoyed every second of it. The leaves were changing colors, the weather was just right. It was a nice visit. I just enjoy the openness of this park. If you find yourself in Bloomington, there are quiet a few nice parks to visit. McGraw Park and Holiday Park are two you should definitely check out, if you have kids and they love parks... or if you are a kid at heart like myself.

It seems like everytime I bring my dogs here to let them play, some guy in a white dodge caravan with 3-4 huge st bernard type dogs shows up and they literally act like they are rabid. Barking excessively, growling at other dogs, etc. It baffles me how some people feel they are so entitled that they should be allowed to do anything they want and it is everybody else's responsibility to accomodate them. Also, I know atleast one of the dogs was not leashed in the parking lot area. People, if you have aggressive, ill mannered dogs, DONT bring them to public places! Absolutely ridiculous!
