Definitely not a "one stop" place, it's a quick hike (approx. 1/2 mile) to see the falls, and if you go spur of the moment, like I did, you'll won't see more than a trickle if it hasn't rained recently. But if you want to avoid crowds, or are out for the day checking out other parks in the area, this is a quick, easy, scenic hike that will quickly reward you with some beautiful scenery/waterfalls, weather-permitting. Worth checking out!!

Incredibly nice park tucked in a little off the beaten path. The kids playground look amazing! Sent…read morepics to our niece to let her know this was here. Well paved paths that seemed to be set up so folks with wheel chair bound or walking assists but just be forewarned there is a rather steepish hill toward the back.

Be an absolute perfect place for a walk during the Fall when the leaves are changing colors.

It's also fenced in, which I know people with young and multiple kids would appreciate. There is a big lake right by it too so the playground being fenced in is a great safety measure. On really hot days the playground does get really hot though. The lake is a really nice and has a path around it. It's not huge, but still a nice place for some leisure activity. You can fish at the pond though. Lots of parking too. We will definitely be back to visit this park again.

Unlike Summit Park, they have shade areas for relief from the sun. One of my favorite features is that the entire park is surrounded by a security fence so that children can't get out without an adult. You will not be disappointed! "This park encourages interaction and recreation opportunities that spans multi-generational users of all abilities in a peaceful and welcoming setting. Makino Park includes Common Ground Playground, FCC Field mini pitch soccer, a shelter area for gathering and programming, and restrooms all designed for park users to have an enjoyable experience."

There are also some awesome balance equipment to try! Something else to note: This park is not well shaded in the evenings. I brought a 3 year old to the park and while she had a lot of fun, it was quite challenging for her to climb on much of the equipment. There are also only two small slides which weren't easily accessible for her. They have a few toddler swings and a handicap accessible swing that she had fun trying!

We tried to visit the other day and it was closed again for repairs. Its such a peaceful place to just listen to the water, sit on the bridge and people watch or explore the hiking trails and let the kids burn off some energy. The trails also connect to the fossil fields and if you cross the street, it will lead you to the lake. Their are parts of the park that allow for wheelchair use, but the main hiking tails are mostly gravel. Its a very busy park, so no need to worry about it being too secluded or not safe. Word to the wise...the restrooms have been closed since the pandemic, so prepare to go before or practice safe measures when finding a secluded tree. Lol.
