    It use to be a good park. I played for years in the fountain's with my kids. Even held birthday parties there. Now though the gazebo has been taken over by drunks and junkies. I'm actually scared to go there once the sun starts to set. During the day it's decent but watch where you walk. You never know what nefarious paraphernalia might be pricking

    It is a decemtly nice splash pad and park, unfortunately the homeless crowd around the pavilion and stay in the bathrooms for 15 minutes or more! Having to keep an eye on my five year old nonstop isn't the purpose of the park. Wish the homeless and mentally unstable would do something other than hang around parks. Course, I'm old enough to remember when Lincoln park had an actual pool!

    I used to take my granddaughter here all last year and never knew they had a splash pad! We went back with both grandkids, my sister and her son, and my mom, and watched the kids hop around. Everyone had a blast!

    It's very sad to see so many homeless living at this park.

    I love the parks I just wish this heat wave they keep the water on to help cool people down

    Yeah the jungle gym is cool and all, ... But the children and I had a blast feeding all the geese and their adorable little fledglings. So cute.

    About 3 whinos and 4 or 5 vagrants. Trash and broken glass was all around the trash can from them digging through it. My dog enjoys it though..

    It's definitely not the biggest splash area but it's not bad. Lot of foot traffic through there though. No bathrooms(likely due to the foot traffic) regular park next to it and gazebo area

    Lincoln park is our neighborhood park. It's a great place to hold social events, especially in the summer time. There are water fountain activities and a play ground for other play adventures. I do however wish there was more bench seating or picnic tables close to the play ground. This would be beneficial to the parents, grand parents or older people that find it hard to sit on the grass.

    This is a fun park/playground and place to cool down with the water fountains going! The only downfall was that we were there on a Saturday afternoon and the number of homeless people was heartbreaking. 💔 So extreme that my boy was unable to use the restroom because some poor down and out fella was sleeping in there. 😕😔

    The park has a decent playground, even water fountains coming out of the brick walkway that can be played in or walk through for a chance to cool off. Unfortunately the picnic tables were all very damaged and uncomfortable to sit on and not even flat enough to be able to set our food on without juggling. And it is in a rough neighborhood so there were several unsavory type of people coming and going. But it wasn't a bad place to go to play Pokemon go at the gyms there and for the quick lunch we had brought with us.

    Pretty and well kept. My daughter loves coming here!

  • 2/5 Stephanie c. 1 year ago on Google
    They no longer turn on the water for the fountains. It's become a hangout spot for the homeless.

  • 1/5 k s. 1 year ago on Google
    They never have the fountains on anymore, the restrooms have bars and locks on then.....very low if any presence of kids...mainly just homeless adults
