Great downtown park of many.Walking & biking trails. Lots of mature trees with an extensive kids playground, places abound for a picnic while watching the kids play. Always something going on there from a baseball, softball, flag & regular football to family reunions & getaways.Parking is large & well positioned throughout.
My friend and i went here to have lunch. a really great place to meet up and have a good time, but there were three bees that would not leave us alone and made us move to a different picnic table. one even tried to eat my sushi but invasive bees aside its genuinely a really nice park !
Nice place to meet for running groups since you have multiple choices for the Rivergreenway trails.Very nice playground area.Restrooms available (porta Janes in the late fall and winter months)
We picked up take out dining and went and ate in the park it was a pleasant experience nice colors still
Nice place,strategic landscape and alot of action love the lights on the MLK bridge.
NHS. Place to take the kids nice playground equipment historical artifacts and plenty of parking
Love the new greenway around the park. Nice job guys.
My kids favorite park because of the coolest big sand box.
Love skating here! Rollerblades and scooters are all welcome
Great place to walk or ride your bike, definitely worth checking out if your in Ft. Wayne.
We are blessed to have Tony Hawk make our park
Nice park with good size playground, multiple baseball fields and a multipurpose field (football, soccer). A large expansive field with picnic tables and trees for shade, 2 pavilions, a drinking fountain, and bathrooms that are open during the spring to fall season. Also across 4th Street is the Lawton skate park that is open year round (weather permitting) till 11pm nightly.
Spacious with fairly good sports fields.
Nice area with a variety of play equipment.
Nice little park. They were just finishing up what appears to be a ton of renovations. My buddy and I walked around the outskirts of this park after taking the path along the river as far as we could.It looks like the new features will be well appreciated. Enjoy. :)
Has playground and equipment parents can participate with their kids. The bridge takes you to a little scenic area. Gas station across spy run or restaurants on wells street. The river is a bit polluted but still has neat banks.
Such a beautiful park. Close to downtown ft Wayne. My family and I went to watch the fireworks. Across the street is a skate park. It has a few ball diamonds. Its a very large park.
Lawton park is a wonderful place to spend the day, or even just an hour. It is vastly larger than most parks in fort wayne, and is usually quite uninhabited. It is made from wood, with plastic tunnels and slides.There are too many slides for me to count (including one that is the largest playground slide ive personally been on), tunnels, (intentionally) wobbly bridges, ladders or various types, monkey bars, sandbox, balance long that turns, and so much more! My 5 year old and 2 year old love it!
This park holds some of my best childhood memories. Nice tunnel slide
The sounds of the water and the local wildlife make it such a peaceful place to be.
Nice place for kids to use their imagination.
I love this park, there is also a skate park right next to it. This is my high school memories in a nutshell.
Really nice
This is one of the most popular parks in Fort Wayne. Has a football field for inter murals, baseball diamond, a large play area, has an elite Skatepark (nationally ranked). Highly reccomend for all ages and interests.
Nice park but it could use some upgrades!
Flag football opening day (Adult), lots of families, good time.

Clean and peaceful
I was very impressed by the cleanliness of this park. I actually used the bathroom while there and it was cleaner then most gas station bathrooms! (At stations that clean them often). Lots of room for kids to play and a short walk from some really awesome places.
Easy access. Maintained well by the Parks Department.

Right next to Science Central. Excellent park with generally clean restrooms. Restrooms open in summer.
This is one of the many well kept Fort Wayne parks along the river greenway trail system. Has a concrete skate park for skateboards, and a large playground for little kids, a couple baseball fields and a real bathroom with flush toilets.
I thought my two-year-old was a little small for this part but he did very well it challenged him physically and he learned some new things so overall its a great Park I believe. My only thing is Im very allergic to bees and there are quite a few here because of all the wooden equipment and flowers
Lawton park is an awesome place to play for kids
Nice place to go and chill
Cool park.
My lil girl loves the boat with the turtle sand box
Nice family place, well maintained

My lil girl loved the turtle sand box
Granddaughter just loved it
Well kept park. Kids have a great time for free here!
I love taking the kids to play here
Lots of different places to play for the kids but also a large amount of bees by the bathrooms and few trash cans. Also, a lot of teenagers running around making poor choices on the equipment which made me nervous not just for my own childrens safety but theirs as well.
Its a beautiful park. But you cant see it form the roads and yo u have to watch your step because of Ill the dog poop.
A very nice park, I enjoy myself
Wonderful play ground, but if you are there after 5pm then the druggies and hoodlums come out. It can get quite dangerous!
Perfect place for fireworks
