This is one of the prettiest parks in eau Claire and the one with the most to do. Especially when you consider that its right along the river and even has its own band shell with seating, playground, tennis courts, and simply beautiful giant white pines and oaks spread all throughout it.

Great place to play Pokémon Go. Had some events today to complete and completed them here at the park. Very clean and friendly place to be. Definitely will be returning to the park again. These are the Pokémon that I got to catch. The one in the middle was the event Pokémon caught at the park.

This is an awesome park with lots to do for all ages...playground for the littles, hang a hammock for the older kids...tennis courts and its along the river. Normally during the Summer months there is a lot going on at the Band Shell/Stage but due to the pandemic not much is happening in that respect.

Nice playground for toddlers to elementary ages. Gorgeous bike/skate/running trails. They will be making a new performance space and adding a family bathroom this year.

A big park (three blocks long) right along the river, and walking trail, and connecting to downtown and water street. There are tennis courts, and a concert area with blues on Tuesday nights in the summer. There is a large playground that is usually pretty busy. The older kids will have a blast, but younger tots may be a bit overwhelmed. Also, there is a calisthenics area

Chippewa trail is handicap accessible, plenty of places and space to reconnect with nature, hug a tree, and get grounded. Check out the Chippewa River banks for epic rocks and unique washed up treasures. One of my favorite urban places to write and chill.

Its a great park. I would put a flood garden under the bridge, but its old shade trees and grass and the band shell and a great playground for kids and now a diy fitness area right next to the playground so parents can stay healthy while watching their kids. On the other side is a much grassy park and passed that is a path to the university. Its a hub and a main thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists.

We were driving through Wisconsin and stopped for our children to play. The playground is modern and has some fun and unusual moving contraptions along with tubes, slides, climbing stuff, and swings. There is a restroom a short walk away from the playground, on the other side of the small ampitheater. You can see the Chippewa River from the Playground.

Nice park to take the kids to. The adult fintness park is right next to it which I think is a bit of a bad idea since I see kids running over to it to mess around with the adult workout things and could get hurt easily, but thats why we watch our kids when they play at the park, right?
