Tourist attraction β€’ Park

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great addition to the park a few years ago. Covered area with tables and cement "bench" around the majority of the circumference. Nice option for kids and parents who don't want to go to Wild Waves or other expensive water parks, but still can enjoy some water features. Pickleball and tennis courts...

    Great addition to the park a few years ago. Covered area with tables and cement "bench" around the majority of the circumference. Nice option for kids and parents who don't want to go to Wild Waves or other expensive water parks, but still can enjoy some water features. Pickleball and tennis courts as well so different options to enjoy. Park is open daily for water play 11-7 from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

    Kids have a blast. Fun for all ages. Don't like dogs in the water area tho some folks take them in. I'm there almost daily. I relax in the shade while kids play. Have undercover seating and restrooms.

    Great place for kids to meet other kids! There's a small shaded area with picnic tables and a few benches out in the sun. All surrounded by a large, green space completenwith trees. Sunday Funday was in full effect!

    Fun little place for the kiddos. Little water area, restrooms, and green grass. Not all yellow and crunchy. Limited shaded spots. You gotta get there early if you want a tree to sit under.

    Great looking water park and tennis courts. Thank goodness the water was off. It's bloody cold πŸ₯Ά out.

    Because it's currently the only real option for a spray park in the area it gets crowded pretty early in the day and remains that way until dusk. The play area is a bit smaller than I think it could be. The older/bigger kids seem to overtake the area making it harder for the younger kids to play and have fun. Ideally there should be one area for older kids and a separate area for the smaller ones.

    This is a very nice small water park. There's a covered area with a few small tables to sit at. I like that most of the water park area is surrounded by a short wall/long area to sit if that makes sense. Lots of nice grass to also lay a blanket on and watch the kids. Bathrooms and handicap friendly. My kids and I enjoyed this spot very much.

    Oh my...this place is Brilliantly Eclectic! Activities are numerous, recently, I stopped by to shoot some hoops πŸ€, right next to the pickleball and full tennis courts. In the summertime, my 4 yr old niece has a blast playing in the water πŸ’§ park, where we can even take a break to climb trees, have a picnic or??? Grab some yummy Eagan's comfort food right across the street!!! Hmm...think that pretty much covers my experiences at this amazing park!!! GOD BLESS YOU πŸ™πŸΌ

    Fun time at the water section of the park. First time there and kids had a blast. There's some shade and lots of grass to set up in.

    Fun time for the kids just wish it was bigger, for the amount of kids usually there it can become dangerous when they are all running around excited. Bathrooms and a couple small table/ benches under a cover but they are usually taken as it’s usually pretty packed even right at opening time.

    This public park is wonderful! All sorts of groups use it for activities and even during the last heatwave, they kept the water running for our houseless community members. A++++

  • 5/5 Philip C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great day at the park with my 3-year-old grandson son. What a fun place to play in the water and enjoy other kids running around and playing together. Family fun!

  • 4/5 Rafael R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spray park. Great shade trees. Basketball court really needs a barrier for the drainage ditch. I wrote to the parks dept about and they never even answered. I guess all the money went into the pickleball courts.

  • 5/5 Judy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean park. Kid friendly. Great experience and fun for our grandson.

  • 5/5 tim k. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 bryan m. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to cool off on a hott day they also have tennis courts, pickle ball courts and a half court basketball.

  • 5/5 Alexis W. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and safe public restroom and well maintained park

  • 5/5 zak g. 4 years ago on Google
    My 5 almost 6yo loves this place sooooo much.

  • 5/5 Alan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice park and VERY SAFE. Never had any problems here. As other mentioned in the reviews, it doesn't need a safety fence, this would totally destroy the charm of the park.

  • 5/5 Anna P. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 4 reviews
    The splash pad feature in the summer here is a fabulous hit with the kiddos. It’s a free, friendly and safe place to allow your little ones to cool down and make some friends. Not to mention the convenience of the local and neighboring bus stops allowing Mason county residents to enjoy this park as well.
