It was excellent. The kids had so much fun. Wish it was closer, went there for Dr appointment and got there to early so took them to park. It is so large and it has lots of swings and slides and even bridges the kids could run on. Real big trees with animals in them.

Great little park. Perfect sunset evening. Definitely the biggest play area i seen. Kids would love it. Plenty of places to sit and relax.

Easily one of the nicest & well-maintained public parks I’ve seen in some time. There are multiple swing/slide options, plenty of obstacles to climb & everything throughout the play area is padded pretty well. The splash pad was also a hit with our kiddo, which is open between Memorial Day through Labor Day. Located right on the riverfront, there’s also plenty of space to walk & some fountains to check out as well. If you’re in the area, visiting here is a must ✌🏻

Impressive large playscape. No smoking at the park means no nasty cigarette butts from smokers who think the world is an ashtray. Nice waterfront to take a stroll.

This is by far the nicest park that’s open 24 hours secure well protected well taken care of and kids can get wet in the waterpark section. I can see why it was rated the number one park and all of United States so peaceful relaxing plenty of bench swings overlooking Ohio river so you can relax bring your grandparents and visit the veterans Circle there’s coffee shops ice cream shops there by far the best park I’ve ever been to United States and it’s all free. Street parking is free. There’s parking lots that are open to the public that are free and all the people that surround this park are Genuinely humble and nice.
