👍👍 Great park with a new splash pad. Quite a bit of shade. Some seating. I sat in a lawn chair under a tree and that was perfect! People often mention park, splash,

    We really like this park but for it being 75° to 80°outside the bathrooms were not open at all. Garbages were tipped over and there was broken glass everywhere. We really love going to this park and we wish that it would be kept up so that we can continue to go here. We were also disappointed that it was 75° to 80° and the water fountain was not even turned on. Due to this we had to leave early and it was so inconvenient when we had planned to spend the day at the park. Broken beer bottles and broken glass everywhere was another concern. Leftover alcoholic drinks still on the tables was yet another concern. Nothing had been cleaned up. I wish that this park can be a convenient spot for kids and not be taken over by broken glass and leftover trash.

    Nice water splash pad fun for all. It's too bad the beach would have been fun but the geese pooped all over it.

    Nice park. Splash pad entertained children for close to hour. Accompanying playground is a little out of date, and would benefit from some upgrades; overall in good condition. Does include five horseshoe pitching boxes, however they don't appear to have been used in years.

    I play with the Prairie Winds Concert Band and we for many years played at Rice Park, we then played at Robbins Island and now we are back. The remodeling of the park was for the better and it looks much better than before. It now has a splash pad and a new park building, trees have been rearranged and the spot for the show mobile is actually a larger area and more shaded for both the band and the audience

    Super fun park with a merry-go-round and other spinning toys. My 8 year old loved it!! The photo is of a tree that looks like it’s growing inside another tree.

    Fun with kids and they are having fun with the other kids here there nice bathrooms they're very large and me and my 2kids plus the large stroller and all our stuff fit easily and have plenty of room to change and move around. The drinking fountains are at different heights so all ages can reach. The benches are close to the splash pad which is so nice. The playground has soft sand around the equipment which is nicer than wood chips and chunk's of rubber. My kids love running around in the sand. We always have a great day when we visit the splash pad and playground at Rice park. Also they have large garbage cans and they are not overflowing with stinky trash and the picnic tables are good sized for the whole family to sit together.

    Kid park and picnic area centrally located in Willmar. New park shelter, rest rooms, and playground area.

    The splash pad here is super fun, in the summer! We also rented the building for a fundraising event last summer, and we’re pleasantly surprised by how clean and nice it was.

    This was my granddaughters first encounter with a water pad and she had a blast. Will definitely be back, seemed safe and inviting.

  • 4/5 Kristi G. 10 months ago on Google
    Great family fun with splash pad, newly remodeled play equipment, grill area and an indoor seating or gathering area on reservation.

  • 3/5 Bryan T. 8 months ago on Google
    Decent rest room and changing areas. Water is a bit cold, but it's a place to go to cool off.

😐 The playground was part of Lincoln elementary school that closed in 2010. The park has a basketball and tennis court. The playground equipment is not new, but my son enjoys it.
