Read Park is great! there’s a skate park, a big open area, the pool, a play ground, the ball diamonds, and a rental shelter for grad parties or birthdays. it’s very well kept and a great spot for activities

Big parking lot for 4 ball fields but not too close to them. Cars park on Empire so hard to see traffic coming. Big pavilion+nice Little Cubs Field. Small playground but big skateboard area.

There is a fenced-in public pool. I am not sure what the price is to go to the public pool. The public pool in Read Park is closed for the 2020 season because of the CaronaVirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The fact that the pool is closed aside, the park isnt that big, there is a small place to play and there is also a cemetery right next to it. Im not sure what the name of the cemetery is.

Went to one of there play areas in Read park and, it was so full of bees we couldnt enjoy our picnic lunch. The bees were there before we even got our food out. We had to sit in the SUV to eat and went to Krape park to get away of the bees.

Great wide open place to play. Baseball fields, tennis courts, swimming center, and ice skating in the winter. Would give it a five stars but one of the playgrounds has been boarded up for a long time.

Its a great park for softball and baseball games. The pool I. The summer is also nice for the kids.

Review №25

It is a nice park, well maintained, but needs a larger security or police presence. The parking during baseball season and football practice beginning is insane! Simply attempting to drive north on Burchard Avenue between Empire and Ameirican is like navigating a mine-field! There are kids and adults who walk blindly into the road, and you have to keep a very close eye out for toddlers and preschoolers just wandering into the road.
