I love it down here, sometimes my son set by the water and sometimes we go on the other side, find a tree and sit under it. A chill vibe with friendly people. One important part for me is the Throne Toilets porta potty because you scan the qr code with your phone, that prompts you to send a text and when you come out they send a survey, it controls who comes in while also allowing you to let them know if its clean. All in all, I love The Yards Park and recommend it and go maybe 2-4 times a month. I thought this pic was cool, shows some of why I love it, the water. I went down again and took some other pics while on a boat ride, thank me later

Wonderful wedding venue in a cool location with a beautiful view. Transitions from one area to the next were a little slow, (ie from ceremony to cocktails) but the food was delicious and nicely served.

I’ve been to this bridge before, seemingly always at night! Cute, peaceful and by the water. I enjoy looking over and seeing the bridge across the way! Reminds me of Australia for some reason

There are dozens of restaurants, most are decent to great. Nice river walk to stroll on. And the pool of water near the iconic pedestrian bridge is a great place to cool off on a hot summer day.

Peace and quiet even on a long weekend with beautiful weather. Comfy seats were great for me to put my feet up after a long bike ride. Love it! A new place where to come more often to escape the stress of the city without even getting out of it.
