called and asked how much was the ice skating and if it was open and they said 5 dallors and that it was open and than i went all the way to the park to no ice and no one there, waste of time
My favorite park ever, but could someone please come and oil the swings or something? They are so loud as of now. 😳 Edit from many months later: guys… PLEASE DO SOMETHING. The swings are so loud! 😭
Good place to take kids any age😁😁
Parents can be acting a bit trashy at times, smoking etc. while our kids are playing, but it’s a nice park.
Nice area
Very clean and Good entertainment. Good mix of foods too. Good police presence.
A fantastic free public amenity with a playground and splash pad for hot days, as well as bathrooms and a public house on site.
Great place to take the kids and even this in you!!! The Howard Park Public House has good food at great prices!!! Definitely been missing out all summer
Awesome place to get outside and take advantage of the miles of connected walking and bike trails. Beautiful and well maintained facilities throughout the entire park. Many places within walking distance being downtown. Low-key gem for photography. Beautiful scenery of bridges and rivers for miles.
Great interactive things for kids and adults The crowd can be iffy but I never go at night
