Taylor Orvosha year ago

I enjoy walking outdoors with my dog. We're new to the area and decided to check out Sippo Lake! It's a lovely park in a nice area. We had a great walk. The only downside is that the trails are not clearly labeled in the actual park. There's a lack of signage. We figured it out, but better labeling would have been helpful.

For the size of the park it's very fun, kids had a great time. Trees and park is well kept, open, great place for dogs too. It's withing walking distance of a lot of houses, and is always pretty fun.

Price Park is beautifully maintained and a joy to visit. I especially love the scenic walking path and the spacious playground that's perfect for kids. Next time you go, bring some peanuts—the squirrels are friendly and fun to watch! All the wildlife there adds a special charm to the experience.

This park is so pretty…people fish, they sit out in the parking lots and just enjoy the views of the area. Calm and quiet is the vibe and I love it! I think you would too!
