    Very clean and a great place to get some exercise, even for dogs, as there's a dog play area there too. The memorials at the beginning of the river walk are beautiful, and it was a fun walk.

    Nice little park with a patriotic memorial. There are a few benches and a view of the water. While exercising along the Riverwalk, the park is useful for a break in the shade. That's about it.

  • 4/5 Bryan N. 5 years ago on Google
    The park is nice but not very big at all. It’s located right in the river walk so that’s nice. It also has been relatively clean every time we have gone. The cons though, the park is right by the loading area of the hotel and sometimes has a discouraging odor. Parking to the park is scattered and I would try to park a few blocks away since you’re most likely to drive around longer if you try and get a closer spot.
