Nice little park with a cute treehouse

1st time here...it has a cool history

Nice little park that I didnt even know existed.

Beautiful park, a lot of potential, could use some more development.

There are powerful Pokemon in Benton Hill Park and some very ridimentary trails that you can always follow downhill to escape safely. Sandwiched between an Eco Village and a landlord who prefers terf grass. Great place for legal vibe raising activity.

This park is so peaceful while still being in the middle of the city! An Iowa City gem!

Nice little park love the gazebo.

This whimsical park sits upon a hill and has lots of unique features. The play structure is one of my favorites in town and suitable for 1-5 year olds. There is a gravel path that leads through an old building site, a wooded area, a tree fortress, and back to the play structure. Its a perfect starter hike for littles. Theres plenty of shade. There is occasionally garbage around, so please pick up after yourself. Parking is limited to a side street and the park entrance is on the other side so be careful crossing.Special features:Entrance archRuins/rubbleTree fortress with hanging bridgeWooded areaStump bearTee-pee and arch tunnelWalking pathPlay equipment:Slides: 1 spiral, 1 double curveSwings: noneClimbers: 1 web, 1 curved slats, 1 c-ladder, 1 chain ladderExtras: 2 driving wheels, tunnel, mirrorAmenities:GazeboParking: limited streetOn-site water: yes, pumpOn-site bathroom: no

A nice place to hangout with friends in city and have barbeque. The shelters are not too many but it is enough for Iowa City and the neighborhood.

Heed my words: STAY ON THE TRAIL! If you are an off trail hiker like I am, I would steer clear of this dump. I would also avoid this park if you havent had your tetanus shot recently. The entire park is smattered with thick underbrush, rusty mattress springs, broken glass, dilapidated brick walls with graffiti and various other junk. Deep into the middle area furthest away from Miller ave, there is also an enormous clearing where Iowa Citys well paid homeless population apparently have bon-fires and other various debaucherous exhibitions. The bum arena as I like to call it, is lined with pallets from nearby businesses, lawn furniture and other rusty amenities. If you live in the area and your lawn furniture turns up missing, look here first! This land would be better used as another stupid car dealership.EDIT 5/1/2014:I went back again today for the convenience of being nearby and because I seek morel mushrooms. After about 5 minutes off the trail I managed to find a heap of human feces and a pile of wadded up taco bell wrappers next to a makeshift tent made out of plastic wrap and blue tarp. I looked to the west and saw that the bum arena was in full swing with even more lawn debris and re-used garbage littering the hillside than the last time I ventured into this crap-hole. I quickly exited the park and I dont think I will ever return. Benton Hill park needs a bum bomb set off within its filthy confines.
