Fun little disc golf course. Take the entire fam, great for all ages and skill levels. The tee pads are cement, distance is marked in cement next to the tees. Each hole has two basket locations. The course flowed nicely. Its an open course with few trees but does feature some elevation change. The tee on Hole 5 was my personal favorite; the fence sitting out in the distance just daring you to fly over it and carry the edge of basket ball court to the basket, what a rush.The patrons in the park were friendly and happliy pointed me the way to the 1st tee. Which is just over the hill adjacent to the end of the parking lot. Others waved and others said hello.The only draw back I saw was there were no restrooms, but there was construction going on so hopefully upon completion restrooms will be included. But other than that I enjoyed my scouting trip and look forward to returning with others.

This is an ok park with a childrens play area, basketball court, frisbee golf course and a very nice community garden for anyone who loves to garden. The park also has a splash pad for those hot summer days. The childrens play area with slides and jungle gym could stand to be larger. This park also has a nice path around the whole park to walk or run on.

I really like making the walk around the park. In the evening you always get to see at least 12 plus dear roaming the field. I wish they would make a better walkway that didnt have so much grass down the middle strip. Its hard to walk on uneven surfaces for elderly people I imagine and 8 month pregnant people like myself.

Disc golfers beware: the patch of scrub by the 3rd hole is known to eat discs. Other than that, excellent little course.

Nice water park for the kids. Strong police presence though. Which means that the area must be high crime or shady...

Spacious and clean. The park has trail that circles around a large field where you could play soccer or baseball etc. There is also a free splash pad for the little ones, basketball court, bbq grills and one shelter that has restrooms

This park has serious potential it just needs a little love and care and it can be even more amazing. I just cant wait to see the edible forest in bloom!!

The splash pad is great, but I cant speak for the rest of it. For those with younger toddlers, the splash pad has concrete, not soft like others in the area (e.g. North Liberty and Tiffin). Good variety of fountains, speakers, etc. for both young and old.

This large park has lots to offer. With a splash pad, playground, edible forest, disc golf course, and large walking path, there is something for everyone. The play equipment is ideal for 1-4 year olds. Theres shade available, but not next to the play equipment. The splash pad is open Memorial Day through Labor Day and is a great way to cool off during the summer. The park is a nice safe distance from the street and theres plenty of parking available. Unfortunately, this park tends to get littered by garbage so lets work together to keep it clean.New basketball courts in 2017.Special features:Splash padEdible forestDisc golf courseWalking trail2 Basketball courts + half courtCommunity gardensLarge fieldPlay equipment:Slides: 1 tube, 1 bumpySwings: 2 regular, 2 babyClimbers: 1 curved ladder, 1 netExtras: 2 sand pits, sand digger, tunnel, mushroom hoppers, telephone, music wall (broken)Splash pad: 2 cannons, dropping buckets, daisy spinner, spraying arch, lots of geysers and sprayersAmenities:1 pavilionParking: large parking lotOn-site water: yes, multiple locationsOn-site bathroom: yes (no locks)

I love Wetherby Park. It is large and my animals go crazy at all the rabbit and ground squirrel holes.Splashpad for the kiddies to run thru. Swings a slide with monkey barsOnly thing with so many homes it is hard to feel the expanse of nature or to see the stars at night. Wheelchair users can wheel with some ease on the cemented areas. There are bathrooms for males and females which are open when programs are going onThe water faucet is not always on either. There is a basketball court. People rent garden plot from the city of Iowa City,IA. Team sports like baseball happen in afternoon. Evenings lovers walkFriends walk tooI love the prairie experience at Wetherby Park. Illicit acts like people pulling up to sell their wares to teens who live near by. Disputes at the garden when food thieves are caught as they harvest vegetables which are not theirs. A slice of life and living when it is live and let liveThis review changes as visits vary.
