I would give it 4.5, but only because I didn't catch any fish here. As a park, this is an incredibly well maintained park that didn't seem too busy when I was there. I've been over the Jordan Bridge countless times, but this was my first time under it, and as a bit of a nerd for a cool bridge, that was a really cool thing to see. Being under that marvel of engineering was my favorite part, but it seems like a really good place to bring family and friends for a nice get together, too!

This is a very nice park. I didn't know that it was there. There's plenty of area to picknic.. Some under cover and some not. There is also a really nice boat launch and dock. I will be going there to launch my boat. You're only a couple of hundred yards from Waterside if you launch from there. The view is also nice. There you also have access to the Jordan Bridge as a pedestrian. What a great view!

We came here to fish on Father's Day as we required wheelchair access to the fishing pier. It was awesome! The views of the Jordan Bridge are spectacular! They have educational monuments around the park area explaining different pieces they used in building the Jordan Bridge, very cool. There is a bait shop and nice, clean bathrooms. After setting the Dads up at the fishing spot, I took the kids to play at the park! We could see all the river traffic and my kids enjoyed watching the barges and tugboat as much as they enjoyed the park equipment. They even have a work out type area separate from the playground. This is a nice place to spend the afternoon outside fishing with the family!

Good park , boat ramps, picnic table Dog park. Shack house for snacks . Fishing deck. Under the Jordan bridge who s a beautiful piece of engineering. The park is close to shipyard and industrial park so the view of the river is not breathtaking
