    Just a small pond but teeming with all kinds of wildlife. Parking is a bit tight, so if you're okay with a short walk there is a Safeway to park at across the street.

    Pond was stocked with hatchery trout recently with nice sizes. The warm water species were a little lackluster, largest bass and panfish I caught listed below. The pond had HUGE carp swimming around.

    Awesome park with disc golf and multiple routes for biking. Cool lakes nearby. There is a basketball court and other activities.

    I live right by here so I usually take my dogs here daily. It’s never been super crowded and I’ve always been able to take my dogs off the leash and play fetch with them-without any incidents or anyone complaining. I love the pond. I’ve seen some cool animals in it. Plus A super adorable woman whose backyard faces the park even has a special water dish out for the dogs. I thought that was very 🥰 cute! This is a great place to bring your dogs!

    Still the same place I remember from years ago. Parking off of 185th Ave and direct access to the Rock Creek trail system. Big green fields for the kids, a community garden and pretty good fishing for those with patience.

    Nice open green space with an artificial lake, where the Rock Creek trail runs through a powerline area. The walking path is paved, and continues across 185th though Allenbacher Acres to Springville Creek across West Union on one side and through the Rock Creek Country Club all the way to Rock Creek Blvd on the other. Parking is available at the 185th crossing. The lake is stocked so fishing is possible, also, there are some opportunities for wildlife watching.

    Family fun outdoor activities walking trails, bird watching, fishing, and picnic tables available. Watch out for the ducks they like to join your picnic.

    Nice open space with a paved walking trail. The trail is however too narrow and there aren't enough dog poop bins so there is dog poop all asking the trail. The lake adjacent to the trail is not well maintained with a lot of gunk that deters birds and water fowl. The Amberglen Park little south is a much better park if you want to spend a nice evening.

    Great place for a morning and evening walk. There are not many restrooms along the way however. Great place to bird watch.

    They simply marvelous place to play catch, play frisbee, walk the dog, jog, and ride your bike! There's a community garden and port a potty. Few trees. The trails go on for a while. Very scenic walkway!

    Bring my kids here to fish. Its close to home and easy to get to. Terrible in the summer for lack of water. Very mossy and rocky.

    Nice, quiet and pretty trail!

  • 5/5 Kris O. 7 months ago on Google
    A fantastic large park. Perfect for dogs or activities. It's almost always colder near the lake in the mornings so a sweatshirt is never a bad idea.

    I walk this park almost everyday!!! I love the beauty of the river and the trail itself! It's one of my favorites in Bethany! I highly recommend it!
