    Beautiful park! Walking paths, shade, a scenic water path. What more can you ask for in the middle of the city?

    Such an incredible park! Probably the best thing about this space is all the wild life. Lots of different birds, turtles, and critters.

    Even tho they keep the park really clean and trimmed, the little lake is not in good conditions. Dead animals dead fishes the water looks so gross; it stinks so badly and the little lake has a really good view to look at and little ducks swimming their with different kind of birds. I would love for the community or the city to start cleaning the lake REALLY good underwater and the top theirs so much garbage on the lake

    This is our local park district and I can hands down say this is a beautiful little place in the city. The gymnastics programs for kids is wonderful. Couch Fran is the best.

    I went today and it was very calm and relaxing, everyone respected each other's space. There was beautiful views of the sun and dogs everywhere enjoy the day. Sadly it was a bit cold and had to leave early. Overall it was a great day.

    Participated in a yoga class led by DeePaola and Cristina this morning. They are great instructors and it was wonderful to exercise out in the park and enjoy the beautiful weather. I highly recommend their classes and hope more people in our community will join. Check out the McKinley Park news site for the scheduled classes. They simply ask for a donation, whatever you can afford.

    This a great place to enjoy nature. There’s a beautiful path by the water with a variety of flowers and other beautiful plants. There are many mature trees, lots of green space, a playground, pool, and field house. It’s nice seeing other runners when I exercise here too!

    It literally was beautiful today. Lots of people roaming throughout the park. Lots of birds and the huge pond was amazing. I’ll be returning soon to fish !

    Very quiet tonight. Chilly, but we had a nice walk

  • 5/5 Curtis M. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily in the top five lagoons. Plenty of street parking on Pershing Road, easy to access via public transit. There used to be a really cool gallery nearby called Flatland. It's gone now. Not a lot of food around here, but you could go to Huck Finn for the Becky Thatcher.

    It has a great ice skating rink. Not crowded and staffs are great! A good place to take your kids to learn skating.

    This park is beautiful. It has a pool, tennis and basketball courts, baseball, softball, and soccer field, it has a gorgeous lagoon and walking path through nature. The park brings the community together and its full of life.

    Not a bad spot to take a walk in. Fishing is ok if you're into that sort of thing. They have a newer playground and ok baseball field. Always enjoy coming here.

    This park was so quiet & peaceful even the animals was laid back enjoying the view. If the animals can chillax you can too

    The best thing about this place is the lagoon that attracts many bird species during migration (spring). I would love to see it cleaned up a bit tho.

    McKinley Park is a great big beautiful city park. This Community park provides a lot for children and adults alike. I enjoy watching people having fun doing things such as walking pets, hiking through the nature trails. The park has so many different attractions and activities such the basketball, soccer, baseball courts, Fieldhouse and swimming pool. People definitely love this amazing park. I recommend this park for everyone.

    Since I was a kid, I've always loved this park. So sometimes I'll take a nice walk through the park, just to think. But last night, I walked through the park with my woman. It was very romantic. It was a nice chilly night too. But she loved it.πŸ₯°

    Great place! They have water fountains for people and dogs. Little Kittie pools for the summer, complimentary bags. Nice to have a place to take my dog off leash so close to home.
