    It is wonderful to see the birds here. Just 2-3 weeks ago, I saw a group of 12 Pelicans, about 6 Cormorants and a Heron too.

    This was Webster Lake growing up. We love this park. The Pokémon go experience is really good!

    Simply lovely park! They had paddle boats for people to ride and fishing! There were lots of space and a HUGE kid's playground! There were multiple groups for Father's Day weekend and at least two Birthday parties happening. Just beware the bathrooms are outdoor. It was rather funny to see my small dog around the geese for the first time. He did NOT like the hissing dinosaurs but it kept him from chasing them or bothering other dogs. It had rained the night before and part of that day so the grass was wet, and filled with geese droppings. We found a nice spot on a bench in the back where it was quiet and dry. Makes me wish we brought our son!

    This park is huge. Lots of spaces around the lake to picnic. The play ground area (my main focus) is pretty neat. It has a very small splash pad with 4-5 areas that spray water from the ground thwt can be somewhat controlled manually. Two separate play areas. One for smaller kids under a pavilion and padded ground, which is very nice on super sunny days. This playset has bridges and slides all connected in a circular pattern. The second play area is designed for bigger kids with lots of things to climbs and two slides. It also a neat merry go round type thing that looks suitable for most ages.

    The park is very beautiful, but people are always hosting parties and events, so you're never able to sit in the gazebos. Aside from that, it's a very lovely park with a lot of paid activities you can try (such as paying to paddle a boat on the lake or paying for a snack from a vendor). They also have a lot of cool art statues that they regularly switch out, so you're bound to see something fun and new there each time.

    I fish here frequently and walk my dogs as well. I have a lot of luck with fishing. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout. There are a lot of homeless folks here, however I have spoken to many of them and gotten to know them and have never had any issues with them. There is a church that does a bbq for the homeless every Tuesday and Thursday, which is amazing to see. I have seen some issues with off-leash dogs, so please remember that this is a leash-required park.

    Has a nice lake to walk around. Playgrounds that are set up for all Kids. With actual chairs to swing in with seat belts. Great for kids that may have issues with balance or holding on while swinging. The marry go around is also set up with seats. The swings can easily hold a smaller adult. Hope play area in the grass. The problem I saw was that they had their restrooms locked. That not very nice for kids or especially those that are in wheel Chairs or need other devices to get around. You really could have them open in the day. Then locked at night. There no way a person with wheel chair can go to the outhouse. Other than that it beautiful park and a lot of fun for the whole family

    Very, very nice local park and playground. There was a nice lake and an extensive playground with sections dedicated to toddlers on up and another for elementary school age. Fun "traffic loop with street signs, hilly roads, and street lights. Great for scooters and young bikers. Enough shade for sunnier days.

    I've been going to this park for almost 40 years and now I bring my children. It's changed so much but for the better, I believe. The park itself is amazing, splash pad, climbing rock and more. I will never not love this lake.

    My 19 month old grandbaby loved the splash pad & there were so many things for him to do that were appropriate for his age. I was really grateful safety was considered for the little ones.

    It was so much fun. Paddle boats, skate park, playground. Group picnic area, fishing. Fun for everybody.

    I have lots of memories at E.B. Rains, but not all of them are good. The lake is absolutely full of trash, the bathrooms haven't been cleaned in what seems like years, and everything just seems run down. It does have a nice shaded area with trees, and there is a lot of open space. There is an open field for sports as well. Overall, I don't think it's that nice, but I guess some people do.

    Normally I love this place. However, my girlfriend and I were fishing and the sprinklers came on around 8:45 and we got soaked. All our gear and phones soaked. I understand that the park needs to be watered, but maybe do it after the park is closed... to avoid property damage.

    Food truck carnival was a blast. Pizza truck was tasty and good wish it weren't so pricey and needed more jalapenos. thanks iPie!!

    During busier times people can be terrible about tables and sitting area usage. They spread out across a whole huge table, leaving stuff and preventing others from being able to sit or get out of the hot sun or weather. Their Play equipment offering is good. Splash pad area selection is really lame!! Don't go for this alone! The bathrooms are gross!!

    Nice little park with a lake in the center located across the City office of Northglenn off the community parkway. Nice playground area for the children, a covered area from birthday party, a bridge across a small section of the lake. Lots of geese though so watch your step if you walk onto the grass area. Crispy kreme donuts is a block away in the north east corner if you want some sweet to go with relaxation. Rocky mountain range is the back drop to the west.

    Pirate Fest was cool. The under managed lines for the food and drink lines dis not have no flow. As a Logistics Manager, try the other side of the park which is bigger. Quit thinking small, set up similar to the Thornton days at 112th and Colo. Blvd. Go Pirate Fest!!

👍 Well kept park. The only issue is that the east facing slides get extremely hot during the summer. I feel like a shade should be placed over the play area. I'm honestly surprised no child has been severely burned yet.
