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 !

Beautiful park, amazing playground. But it does attract some not so nice people. Be cautious of your surroundings while playing here.

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.

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.

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 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

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.
