    Fun for the entire family with glowing florescent decor. Watch your step, stay on the path and no…read morerunning, you will be fine. Not disability friendly. So much fun for the kids and all indoor for 18 holes, weather permitting allows the course outside to be used. There is a party room, arcade and some other things potentially in the room, nice you can steer clear of all that with the small kids. Pick a putter, pick a ball, might I suggest orange or bright pink for best glow ability. Fun!!! Friendly assistant and great price. Kids 6 and under were free.

    We (my two grandsons - ages 9 and 16 and their old gramma) opted for the indoor "glow golf" and…read morearcade games today. Glow golf was rough for this old gramma -- dark and kind of dangerous with all the hidden ups and downs making navigating the various holes a bit scary (in that I feared falling and breaking bones, neither of which happened, thankfully). I was very glad when the mini golf was over! Actually, I think my grandsons were as well. They also have daylight outdoor mini golf, which would have been a better choice for me. Afterward I gave each boy $10 in quarters (ATM and change machines on site) to play with in the arcade. Prizes were crap, naturally, but they had fun. A few games were out of order, sadly. I would not wholeheartedly recommend this venue, but it suited this Spring Break entertainment quest today.

    Great park. Designed by a skater for skaters. Well lit, obstacles from simple to wtf. Generally a…read moremostly laid back vibe. However, it is no longer open 24hrs due to some trouble makers last summer. But over all still a safe fun spot, as well as great spot to view fireworks, or walk to Big Four Bridge a few blocks away.

    This is a nice park for skateboarders, roller bladers, and bmx'ers of all ages. It was opened in…read more2002 and spans 40,000 square feet. It is open 24 hours. The park is dedicated and named after former Louisville Mayor David L. Armstrong, who was instrumental in its construction. They have ramps, tunnels, boxes, lines, ledges, rails, stairs and of course half pipes and bowls. This park is not only a skate park and bike park, but has been adopted by graffiti artist. There is some real nice art work here. The place is covered in it. The half pipe is about 24 feet high, in addition to 2 11-foot bowls, 2 8-foot bowls, 2 4-foot bowls and a six foot bowl. There is a lot of free street parking available to park and visit the park. I really liked this park. Everyone there was nice and working on their craft. This is one of the better options for skateboarders, skaters and bikers to do what they do, but in a controlled environment. There is an emergency phone on site and you are almost certain to not be alone there. The city did a greta job putting this project together.

    While out and about today I found myself wanting to go for a walk. Being a ways from my usual…read morewalking spots, I searched Yelp to find a nearby park. Robsion Park was close by ,so hubby and I found our way there. The park is directly behind the Lyndon post office and parking can be accessed using the driveway beside the post office. Posted hours for the park stated "Dawn to dusk." I was surprised by how well-maintained the park is and how much larger it was than it appeared at first glance. There is ample paved, private parking. At the entrance to the park are two large play areas for children. One appears to be for the younger set and the other for older children. There is a half-mile paved, level walking trail around the perimeter of the park with a short paved bisecting walk if one doesn't wish to go all the way around. All of the walking path has trees lined on either side for shade. There are multiple large, grassed areas for volleyball, badminton, hacky sack, soccer or anything else one could desire. There are covered picnic areas and restrooms. The restrooms were open for use, but I didn't go in them. There were panic/help buttons throughout the park for use in emergency situations. This park is perfect for dog walking and also is a perfect park for those who may require level, paved paths. I look forward to returning with my dogs!

    Although Lyndon is small and Robsion Park tucks itself behind a few buildings, it is NOT one to…read moremiss!! This park was surprisingly a lot bigger than what I had imagined it to be. There is a very nice walking trail that splits into different directions and can keep you busy for quite a while. I was please to see how neat and clean Robsion was, and it definitely looked like it got its proper maintenance every now and then. There's also a couple nice playgrounds for kids, along with an awesome-looking splash pad to cool off in!
