It's basically a kept lawn and open space to gather. In the summertime, you'll see people laying out here in blankets, musicians, acroyoga practitioners and a farmer's market that takes place every Saturday. In the winter -- it's pretty dead, aside from all the free residential parking that you can find. During the summertime, the Elmwood Village Association puts together a weekly event on Tuesdays as a community gathering with live music and food. I definitely enjoy Bidwell Park in the warmer weather months. It's a great place to people watch or to get a blanket and curl up in the city, or to walk through it to get to the next park...Delaware Park -- and just keep going until you go through all of the Olmsted Park System!

I came out to Knox for the Borderland Music Festival. Now I know it's completely different when…read morethere is something happening but I had to talk about the beauty of this park. First off, I feel like the walking trails here are nice. More markers would be cool, but I like the ease of the trails. They have a dog park too which is great. I can't wait to come back with my pup before the snow and have her run around too. Everything is very open which makes it even more awe-inspiring and beautiful on a summer day. I also love all of the old architecture here too with the old stables, main house, etc. It really feels like a different place when you step foot on property. LIke being transported through time almost. The music festival was awesome here. I think the lay of the land, the older buildings, and the beauty of the park really amplify the event and make it feel even better than other possible locations in the area. I will definitely be back to visit the park, and back for the music festival.

Very pretty area! We may have missed it, but it looked a lot smaller than we initially thought but…read moreagain we may have missed a section. There are not that many Japanese maple trees or maybe we were just too late in May. We went May 16 to see the full bloom, however, there were still some trees in bloom and it was very pretty and it smelled good. The area is well kept where the garden is but when you venture off into one side, it's a dark tunnel with spray paint all over. People were still running through it so I'm assuming it's a safe area. it's across the street from an art museum and the Japanese garden is a part of another history museum. Overall, I would say go because it is a pretty area with free parking, just missing a star because I thought it was going to be much larger with more history.

Parking was convenient and free in a grass lot across the street. The band put on a marvelous show even though it was a bit chilly on a late May evening close to the lake. The park has an interesting mix of walkways, lawns and interpretive displays explaining the rich maritime history of the area. Restrooms were in the form of porta potties and a full range of concessions were available on site including warm and cold food and a wide selection of alcohol. As the evening progressed the band continued harmonize some complex tunes including an incredible rendition of The Rolling Stones 'Dead Flowers' and the Beatles 'A Day in the Life'. The views from the park were amazing with the bandstand in the foreground and Riverworks lit up across the river. Certainly felt like the place to be. Free concerts during the summer every Wednesday.

You do not need to do a long hike to enjoy it, you can be standing near it within 2 minutes, which makes it perfect for quick stops or bringing people who are not looking for a big trek. If you do want a little more time outside, there are plenty of trails to make your walk longer. You can turn it into a loop or wander a bit in some fresh air. There are usually enough people around to remind you that you are in a park, but not so many that it feels crowded. It strikes a nice balance between social and being chill. Woods aside, there are areas to play, grill, and hang out. It is the kind of place that works well for a picnic or small gathering or a solo walk. Simple, pretty, and easy to enjoy.
