Water Works Park

I really liked this park. It’s quiet and beautiful, with plenty of space for walking, a nice playground for kids, and kayaking. A great place to relax and enjoy nature.

Have been seeing this cute little eagle 🦅 down by water work hope everyone goes and sees him or her in the morning also!

Water Works park/playground is a great location for families and gatherings. There is a good amount of accessible parking, with a new park that was created to be accessible to wheelchair users. Our daughter is in a wheelchair and enjoyed the music section, as well as being able to get to the top of the playset with her brothers as the entire playset consists of ramps. The swings and other equiptment items are surrounded by mulch which makes it a little more difficult for a WC to get through, but they still have a small accessible swing, and a few other fun pieces of equiptment if you can transfer. The river is very accessible for small kids and usually the water level is lower. Bring some chairs and water shoes to walk the small creek looking for crawdads and salamanders down to the river for more fun. Bathrooms are close, but sometimes a bit wet in the summer due to the many visitors getting off tubes/kayaks.

My nephew had a baseball game. As you enter the park there will be the water park. It was full of kids and parents swimming and enjoying themselves. The park area was towards the back. They had an area to fish. They had a huge soccer field. It was multiple games going on. I found the baseball field. Several games were going on. The park is huge and there is plenty to do at this park. You do have to purchase a pass to get into the water park area. You can pay by the day as well. It's cheaper if you are a resident of the area. I will be bringing my kids back to play at the water park.

I have been coming to this park for.....well a long time and have always liked it. We used to come here when the river would overflow and flood the entire park.. roads and all. We would come and drive through the flooded roads and be overgrown children. Today we brought some of my grandchildren here to eat our meal from the B&K Root beer drive in nearby and then walked and played in the river and at the playground. It is a nice park for walking, riding bikes, etc since there is a lot paved roads and parking areas. There were lots of people tubing in the river, which will be next for us. The playground is pretty nice and have different areas for all ages. Plenty of pavillion picnic areas with grills and they even have concrete corn hole at each of them. Also plenty of picnic tables spread throughout the park. There is a place to dock kayaks and canoes, a fenced in dog area and a baseball field as well. Really nice family park.
