    This is such a nice park and I love that it is shady in most areas.

    Awesome park! Kiddos had a blast. We live in Cedar Rapids but would and will definitely drive down specifically for park again.

    Amazing park in Iowa city, with a lot of options: theater, playground, pic nic, barbecue, fishing, boat, swimming pool, running... With a lot of parking spaces, public restroom. There is a spot where you can park and find a place to fish or dock your boat. Definitely a good park to spend good time with your family, kids and friends!

    When it isn't flooded (see photo), it's a great park. Especially for bike rides. There's this spot in the Northeast end of the park where there's a loop of bike trail that you can turn around and head back on the path without stopping. Or be like me and ride in circles as fast as you can. Fun for adults and children alike, highly recommend.

    Cool big park, plenty of room to spread out. Ample parking. Some gazebos, enclosures and shelters, bathrooms, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, long sidewalks by the river, a pond for pond activities, an open air theater, big old trees, mowed expanses: it really is a great city park.
