Working in Rockford this week and I just happened to find this beautiful park beside the river…read more There were quite a few people enjoying the park on this weekend afternoon, and the weather was beautiful. Bike trails, picnic tables, and many benches along the river. This park is very well maintained. The Nicholas Conservatory is at one end of the park, and while I didn't have time to visit it today I hope the next time I am in Rockford.

Beautiful area along the river in Rockford with a lot to do and look at. It should be on the list…read morefor anyone coming here to hang. Sinnissippi Park is one of the most visited places in town. For sure it's no surprise because there's so much in it. The Rockmen Guardians, Nicholas Conservatory, and the gardens are the biggest highlights but there's lots more to it to come do stuff. At the western end are the Rockmen Guardians. It's worth going along the riverfront path to get some pictures. The Conservatory is the grandest thing in the entire park though. Inside there's plenty of plant life including flowers and trees, as well as animal life, including butterflies, koi fish, and swans. They charge an admission though. Just north of this is the lagoon, where there's a rose garden. The east side of the park has a golf course, and there's also a Scandinavian cemetery if you're looking for history. Have to visit this park if you're seeing what's in the city. It's got a lot of the best stuff that's around here. This is great for getting some exercise or whatever.

Awesome spot. I had no idea stuff like this even existed in the Rockford area! I came here with a…read moregroup of guys for a dude's version of a baby shower and it was legit. There was about 15 of us who came for a couple hours, brought in food and drinks (and diapers for the dads-to-be) and had a blast learning how to throw axes. I've never done anything like this before, but the employee here was very friendly and helpful, and patiently walked us through the correct form. Even us newbies left feeling like we know how to do it well now. It's a small area, with 10 targets split up into 5 open "cages" (2 targets per cage so you can do head-to-head competitions if you'd like to). They provide the axes. We did a tournament-style competition but you don't have to, you could also just throw for fun. While we came with a bigger group, from their website it looks like you can come with as few as 1 person if you'd want to. So it seems like they can accommodate a variety of groups. A little pricy but I say it's worth it. Now that I know this is here I'm eager to come back soon!
