No crowds! Gravel and cement walkways to walk around on. Beautiful out put windy day. Lots of buildings to wander by and look at. Museum open with womens voting rights display.

Nice, simple lake with no frills. Not much nature here. Views of apartment buildings. Has 1.5 mile gravel trail around the lake with no shade trees to accompany it. Hopefully the fishing is good

Usually some sus people in the parking lot and I wouldnt hang around at night. Great during daytime, theres a beautiful trail that goes around the Boone County Historical park.

This is a nice park with sidewalks and paths to walk on. Historical buildings are present with descriptions outside; I have not been inside them, since I usually go after business hours. Nifong Park is home to Maplewood Barn Theater; its a nice venue for community theater productions in the summer. There is a small, well-kept playground available, and a modest lake. (Ive seen one or two fishermen there, but dont know the rules for that.) Wheelchair accessible around the park, but cant speak for the buildings.

This place is the very best. Its typically so quiet and serene, and it has such a fantastic Missouri feel. The sunsets are always incredible, no matter what season it is!

This is one of our favorite parks. Its great from kids 8 and under. The designers did a great job with the little amount of space they had to work with and it makes it easy to keep an eye on your kids.

Interesting information center with an attached genealogy room for Boone County. Nice place for a casual stroll. Period homes and store on site.

The outdoor playground is great for young children (under age 10). Its clean and well maintained. Theres plenty of free parking. Its a beautiful area for walking, with a pond and historical buildings.

In the park was an outdoor play, last night of the season. So it was nice but too fully rate it properly u would need to return during the day. Small parking lot so I assume smaller crowd which is an added bonus.

Lots of little bass. Didnt catch anything over 1lb. But its fun to take light tackle and catch the little guys.

I have very fond memories of Nifong Park. As a youth I spent my summers learning all things outdoors and performing at the Maplewood Barn Theater. Its changed some, as to be expected. But still takes me right back to my younger days. Great place for adults and kids. Though Im biased because I love being outside!

Great park. When the Historical Society building is open there are bathrooms. You can walk through the whole park past the barn and historical buildings. The outer trails however have not been maintained and are too overgrown to travel on.
