Love this trail. They have a super cool sculpture playground for kids and swings. The slides are a little bit big for super small children. The trail is awesome, lots of places to stop and rest. They have lounge chairs and picnic tables and a cute butterfly garden. Awesome view of the river. Allows bikes and dogs. They have a restroom at the start of the trail. It was very clean

Absolutely lovely. On a bright Tuesday morning I had the place almost all to my self. Many spots to sit and enjoy the view, or walk around. I parked across the street at the municipal parking lot though it seems that the park has its own parking space. There is a very cool playground by the water and its dog friendly

This park is amazing. It has a very unique slide and I've heard that they have these neat swings that hang above the river, but we've been there 3 times in the past month and they aren't ever hung up. The dock is beautiful and a great place to fish, watch the sunset, or maybe even do yoga (if you're into that sort of thing lol). There's a little place to rent kayaks, and there's also these two giant swing things that are big enough to fit 3 adults. It's a beautiful park and my family and I really enjoy going there.

A great spot for a break. Newly renovated space from old train tracks and scrap yard into an idyllic community park. Has restrooms in a visitor center. There are benches, docks, amphitheaters, a kids play area, and a modest sized dog park. Lots of parking. The walking/ bike path is partly paved, the rest being cinder, mostly flat, and will get you as far as Sharpsburg. Does have a great view of the bridges. I’d love for it to connect to the river front trail that goes to the North Side.

Very pretty park. We really enjoyed the 1/2 mile walking trail and the little hidden off leash dog park. Would love it of there was a longer trail for walking but overall it is a scenic and very well kept park.
