Great community resource. I bring every out-of-state visitor here to the free museum and to watch the free Bread&Roses video. Plus, the have a lot of info on tourist attractions throughout the State. The staff is really nice. And they are very accommodating for community events. The place is always very clean & the outdoor area is always well kept.

A good walk around the woolen mill history of Lawrence. Visitor Center closed due to Covid.

Had a great time here with my partner! The exhibitions are very pretty and well made. Showing the reality of life for the people of industrial era America. With interactive exhibits and not just walls of text. The man at the front desk with grey hair on the sides and a grey beard was very nice. Unfortunately didn't catch his name. He gave us a great tour and explained the history well. Also he gave us some leaflets about state parks in the surrounding area. Was a great time and is free!! so definitely go if ur in Lawrence :)

Please see my Google+ post. I have been going to this park for over 19 years, lived next to it for 7 years with the birth of my son - I have always fed birds there. I dislike the attitudes in the other reviews yet I can understand why they wrote them. This is Riley Park - an old swimming pool was filled in to create the new playground about 17 years ago - we have always gone sledding on the hill - note use extreme caution as "jumps" are built in and become ice with sunny days - my son and I went "extreme sledding" there - not recommended for young children any more. It is my favorite place in the Cities of North and South Lawrence. There are woods, animals, many paths, and it is a travel route for water birds. The boat ramp gate reopened this year after previous flooding - so motorboats and jet ski's show up - if that is your thing. The Community Boating House is highly recommended - my son and I had full membership one year and has a very quiet picnic area near a wonderful pond. As I stated in my Google+ post - this is now an urban park environment - use caution when visiting - the park is closed at sundown - no night activity is allowed. The police frequently canvas the area - yet Lawrence police are overworked and outnumbered apparently. Anyone familiar with visiting New York City parks should be aware of precautions. It is a gorgeous place - one year I did an Easter egg hunt in the woods with my family. There are friendly people - use caution with them too of course :)
