I have never seen a worker but things keep getting taken care of so someone is a ninja. We have only played on the soccer fields but they are marked well too. Side note: I will throw in that the only place we have gone and had the Irish soccer ref too. He is amazing, funny and interesting to watch. All teams that play there know him. He is one of our added bonuses. Tip - it is always colder than the temperature says so bring a jacket, blanket or both.

First of all, this is KREAGER Park, according to the sign. And boy is it beautiful! What a perfect…read moreplace for recreation in Fort Wayne. Wide open spaces! Leashed pets allowed and welcome! A large paved walking path, soccer fields, tennis court... not one, but TWO cool (and safe) playgrounds for children 2-12, which have modified equipment for disabled children and gathering spaces for all ages to encourage inclusivity. The bathroom facilities are unfortunately closed (I think this may be for the season,) but there was a portable toilet in the parking lot for use. There is also a splash pad that must be hopping in the summertime! Looking forward to seeing it in action. I don't live close by but the trek is worth it as the possibilities are endless for young children and the young at heart at Kreager Park.

Merrifield Park is a unique park in the area.

The rest (north side) of the park has several shelters, a large elevated playground with towers and slides, and a public access ramp to the river. The grounds were in great condition other than it could use a bit of watering on some of the lawn areas. Lots of parking and open space for running around or organized games that need space. I also noticed a lot of trees that had been carved into wooden sculptures left in place around the shelters. All have been coated with a rust colored treatment to preserve the images. Most feature some type of animal though one has a female image with the word Princess carved at the base. It's a nice park if you have a specific interest in swimming or skating, or just strolling along the river. Review #3101

Since we came early, we decided to hang out at the beautiful Freimann Square park. It has an absolutely beautiful fountain. It was very relaxing to watch and sit by the fountain on a gorgeous sunny day. The park also has a large statue of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who ordered the creation of the original fort on the site that eventually became the City of Fort Wayne. Again, its a beautiful park and if your in the area or are visiting the nearby Arts United Center, you may want to relax at Freimann Square.

I would have liked to see this park back in 2012. Back then, the park had an extensive makeover…read morecourtesy of a program by Sprite (the soda). The basketball court was refinished and added sturdy end brackets for holding the backboards, cool images on the backboards, seating, and a wall mural with a basketball theme too! The restrooms were upgraded and the park was generally in great shape. But now, one of the backboards is missing and the other has the finish on the backboard damaged. What happened? Can't someone at least get a plain backboard and basket to make the court playable? Such a shame. The rest of the park seems to be in okay shape. There are lots of amenities on site: baseball field, skate park, tennis court, and on the south end, a small playground. Lots of open space and some trees for shade (other smaller ones have been planted for future shade too.) There didn't seem to be any designated parking lot for the park. There was some parking along the baseball field on the north end and some street parking. And the "shelter/restroom" is rather small, so it doesn't lend itself to be the place someone would rent. Still, if the parks department or the neighbors spent a little bit of money, the park could become a lot more functional. Review #2482

A number of wooden shade structures have been erected around the playground looking as if they are new. They don't actually offer much shade, but look like they could add tarps or something to offer a little bit more. Maybe some vine plantings will be added. There was an area that looked as if heavy equipment were clearing the space for further construction. I didn't see any indication what would be going in, but it shows that the park is getting attention. It was well maintained and seemed to be clean. I didn't see any restrooms other than what may be inside the center. I parked along the street, but there was a lot at the center as well. Review #927
