Pretty park. Nice walking trails along the river. Big, beautiful trees and birds swimming in the lake. Good place to picnic as well. Numerous people out jogging, fishing and walking their dogs.

Visited this park for the first time. What a beautiful well maintained and clean park. This is wonderful place to take a leisure stroll with different elevations among vast green grass and a water creek feature . City Parks have done a great job with designing and providing such a beautiful park!

This is a very nice park my favorite one in town. I find myself going there more and more. My dog goes swimming in the water. I don’t know if he’s supposed to, but what do you do?

Nice park with picnic tables and benches with beautiful views . There is something here for every age. Play structure and walking / biking / running paths. Safe area with a lot of people . The park is also very dog friendly.

I attended a Save the Kern River awareness walk. The walking/bike path is well maintained. The winding path snakes parallel to the Kern River. The path is relaxing. There are lots of plants and animals, and when there is water in the river, there are fish, water birds, and other animals. The other side of the walk path is extensive shopping centers. There are places to sit, benches, grassy areas, and playgrounds. This is a great place to be out in nature while still being in the city. The path is wheelchair accessible and can be a great family adventure. Come check out this fun walkway.
