City of Lawrence Nature Park is a 100 acres natural reserve obtained from 3 land purchases and the…read moreLichtwardt's donation. The Baldwin Creek watershed runs through the massive reserve. The unpaved trails run through the park and is wonderful for nature walk. The land features steep contours, limestone out-cropping, and a varieties of trees. City of Lawrence Nature Park is a remnant of Lawrence before deforestation. The only thing I didn't like about the park is the map. It's extremely easy to get lost in this massive reserve. I've been here twice already and I've gotten lost both times. It takes a long time to get out of the reserve. I feel like more exits would be helpful.

This dog park is HUGE! There is a fenced in area to the left of the parking lot where you can let…read moreyour dogs run off leash, if you're unsure how they'll do in the open. Or you can venture out on the miles of trails to the right of the parking lot (off leash, as well). The trails in the open areas are pretty wide (think car width) & easy to navigate and follow. One of the trails even has some freshly laid crushed gravel. The trails through the woods are narrow but well packed down. However, If you have any mobility issues, you might stick to the open area trails as you're likely to encounter fallen logs or have to scale up a creekside when on the trails through the woods. Close to the parking lot, there are some obstacles set up so your dog would like ride on the seesaw or climb the A-frame. I've been at multiple times of day. The middle of the day seems to be a little less populated. It does get pretty busy towards late afternoon/early evening as people are getting off work. Parking can be sparse at that time. If so, people tend to park off the side of the road & walk over. Be sure to slow down & pay extra attention as you are coming or going as dogs sometimes venture into the parking lot or road. Especially in the parking lot between the fenced area & open area.

Absolutely a perfect spot for off leash dogs. On our road trip, my pup loved the break to explore…read morethe trails!

The area is on a dominant spur or finger of land jutting north into Clinton Lake. Several small creeks cut through the land and feed into the lake. The forest and lake views are awesome. There are several old wells and fences that you may find as you explore the area. It is an area best experienced from October through March.

Well, the bird is actually a wren and it turns out that it is the world's largest wren. Yep. Purchased from a local radio station that shutdown and now it's here. The park is clean, well manicured and other than the gigantic bird, devoid of features. If it wasn't so small, it would be a good spot for a picnic. [Review 11412 overall, 1189 of 2019.]

I came here on a Saturday five of my masculine male friends. We were all experienced bowlers so we…read morequickly noticed the ball always seemed to drift to one direction, perhaps the lane was tilted. Midway through our bowling session, two feet came out of the bottom of the lane next to the pins. The man who owned those feat must've been "fixing" something wrong with the lane. After that the pin pushing thing stopped working correctly and required fixing. This bowling alley seemed very old and outdated. I could've spent the money I used here on some cigarettes or taken it down to the pool hall.... If you want a good place to go bowling check out west ridge lanes. Some of the bowling animations on the screens made me uncomfortable as well.

The place is clean and it's obvious that people take care of this location. Service/food is garbage. I was taken aback to the disrespectful response I got when asking the food service employee any questions about anything. I asked other people here how service was and they also spoke on how rude and berating the staff was. I will never choose to come here again and will ensure friends and family avoid this place.
