Whoever put a buncha hearts around the park for Valentine's Day today, super cute idea! I enjoyed finding them! Also, 4 stars unrelated to the heart search. 4 stars because there is so much goose poop everywhere 🤢

One of the best parks in the city. It has it all. Plenty of grass (best maintained out of every Park) and play area space with grills that are scattered around for any picnics you may choose. A lake that is stocked with trout with plenty of geese and ducks that are never far away. There are two main gazebos and a Bridgeway that goes to a little mini Island with a small gazebo. If you follow the path across the bridge to the very end section there is another path area that's in a shaded portion along Rapid Creek which is fun to explore.

Gorgeous park to walk any time of the day. Always a lot of fishermen here, and the water is so clear you can see the fish swimming near the shoreline. Lots of playground equipment for the Littles, and on the weekends lots of families picnicking and barbecuing. Lovely, lovely scenery and very clean. Great spot to while away a sunny summer afternoon.

Nice park just outside of the hustle of downtown Rapid City. Bigger than I thought it would be with some walking and biking paths cutting through it. Had a nice time taking a stroll and enjoying the water.

We live really close to canyon lake Park and have been going there since we were little kids. It's probably the nicest park within Rapid City, they have really good play areas for little kids and they have really good picnic areas for birthday parties and such. We don't fish there, but a lot of people do and people seem to catch pretty big trout out of there It's fed by Rapid Creek which then continues to run through Rapid City after a canyon lake. On Tuesday nights in the summertime, they have a food truck night which is really nice.
