    Lots of shade and just enough playground equipment. The kiddos loved wading in the river.

    Nice park with covered picnic tables, grassy areas, playground, and beautiful location on the Roaring Fork River. Kids had so much fun playing at the river's edge!

    Nice city park along the Roaring Fork river. We grabbed some food from the City Market Deli and had lunch here, sitting in the sun.

    Very nice park. Not trailer or big truck friendly. But very nice shaded park next to the river. They have basketball and tennis courts located at the top parking lot. With the river and playground at the lower parking lot.

    Fabulous little city park. The beautiful sounds of the river in the background are wonderful. We stopped to met some family members and came back with lunch for a nice afternoon. Highly Recommended

  • 5/5 Living Water C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place, cleanly, family oriented, lots of attractions in the park as well as right around the corner. A lovely stop for bicyclists, joggers, or a family fun outing.

    Great spot right on the river with a number of shelters and picnic tables. Good for family events! We had +25 after a hike up Red Mountain!

  • 5/5 Kirk C. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a beautiful small park. The lack of reviews/photos, make me wonder if the locals are keeping it a secret. On the river, beautiful walking trails, horseshoe pits, covered picnic/BBQ areas and a sand volleyball court.

  • 4/5 Neonta Sitting H. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite parks to take the kids. Bathrooms, playground, and an area to play in the river or fish. And lots of shade.

  • 4/5 Jacob T. 7 years ago on Google
    Fun park with lots of slides and playground equipment for the kids. Also has horseshoe pits and picnic shelters. Very shady in the summer evenings. Very close to a fast river, though, without much fencing.

  • 4/5 Silvia O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park, you see lots of family there with their kids. The park has enough parking and it you walk a little downhill you can find a river to have fun in. Okay for fishing however!
