OMGosh!!! We LOVE this place!!! This is our favorite place to go!!! Ducks, geese, and seagulls galore!!!! Even a swan!! Nice fountain. We love it so much, that I married my friends there right in front of the fountain. It was nice. And a memory well always have. Be warned though... the geese are a tad bit aggressive. Only meaning theyre loud, and will eat the food right out of your hand!! Whether you like it or not. We like that about them though!!

Gibson Park is a beautiful park to go to. We brought our granddaughter there to feed the ducks and play on the playground. The playground is really nice and my wife and I even got into some of the equipment! Its such a big park with a track that runs all the way around it. My only suggestion is bring LOTS if bread! Them birds have a never ending stomach! Bring ur family and make a day if it. Excellent spots to picnic at. Definitely a place to make a day of it...

It is the outdoors destination for city goers. With a botanical garden and well populated duck pond it is a great place to visit. It is a part of the Rivers Edge trail that connects Warden Park, Oddfellows Park, Broadwater Bay, Electric City Water Park, Tourist Park, Elks Riverside Park, Riverside Railyard Skate Park, Pacific Steel & Recycling Dog Park, West Bank Park, Black Eagle Memorial Island, Giant Springs State Park and Crooked Falls Overlook with connections to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, Great Falls Civic Center, Whittier Park, and Margaret Park.Bring some day old bread and feed the Canadian geese and other various water foul.You will also find benches, picnic tables, playgrounds, statues, and an amphitheater. Great place to get some exercise while taking in the sights and sounds of Great Falls Montana!!!

Bring some bread and feed the ducks! They also have a little stand you can buy food from (not always open) its fantastic! You get kinda nervous around the geese because they are pretty big but they dont hurt you :) there is a play ground right by the pond and it is well maintained and loads of fun for family and friends

It is usually very clean and we were fed from Jimmie Johns sack lunches as we listened to a church group singing songs and they were very, very good! It was a very relaxing Saturday afternoon! This was on July 11, 2020!

To be honest. This is a great example of fantastic municipal parks. My reason for going was a concert of ensembles from the Great Falls Municipal Park. The park deserves a visit - just because it is a great park. The GFs MBand has amazing musical talent. It was a great concert.

Its a big park with a pond full of geese and ducks and such with fountains and a walking path surrounding it. The garden is cool and the playground is decent. Good place to chill. Sometimes entertainment in the domed stage area is good. Great place for a picnic when the weather cooperates. The other side of the tracks has tennis courts, horseshoe pits and a skatepark.

Full playground, pond with walking path around it and large open lawn area. My kids love to go here to play. We went one day when the pond was mostly froze over, we enjoyed it. I just dont like all the bird poop.

Beautiful large park. Playground and duck pond as well. No railing on the pond so have to be careful with the littles. My toddler loved riding his bike on the flat paved walkway. Playground was too hot to enjoy. End of august 2019 they were doing work on the sidewalk and parking lot.

Gibson Park is a beautiful place. A great place to take a stroll, see a live show, or stop in for various events throughout the year. I brought my family to Family Movie Night last summer, to see Moana, and, though the place was packed, there was plenty of room for everyone! The park is very large, and the scenery is gorgeous. I highly recommend Gibson Park to anyone looking for a park!

When we visited it was the summer solstice and there was music, drinks and a food stalls. I would certainly recommend a visit then. But if there is nothing going on then I am not sure that it would be worth a specific trip.

I love coming here to see what type of plants grow well in Great Falls and the different seasons. The gardens at Gibson Park are nicely designed and even have squirrels that are not afraid of people. You might want to bring a handful of nuts with you. And a camera!

I feel for the beautiful creatures that call the Gibson Park home. These elegant waterfowl glide upon dirty black water that looks as if it has never been cleaned since the inception of our city or since the dawn of time. No one is policing and cleaning the grounds. Why issue needless levies upon taxpayers when our parks look such as this?

As the main park in Great Falls, Gibson has everything from beautiful flower gardens to a band shell that often hosts events as well as a pond, concessions and updated bathrooms. It is connected to river access and other nearby parks via the Rivers Edge Trail.

They need to make more artistic interactive stations to bring more people as a good social site for the youth.

This park was right beside the river and showcased the American flag. I love how Americans are so patriotic and show their flag not only in every city but in every corner of every city. They take pride in their green spaces, we wanted to stop and enjoy the moment before the impending blizzard within the next hour.

Its a lovely park. The ducks are fun to see in the pond, and there is plenty of playground equipment for the children. I wish they would wash the pathway that people can walk/jog/ride bikes on. The geese have left their mark well.
