Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes park is a great spot for the kids! It is also beautiful on the sunny days and gets some good views when you can see the sunset. There is always lots of room for parking and even has a boat launch! I am not sure if there is any fish because I have never tried!

Trails are nice and mostly graveled. Good for hiking and biking. Make sure you carry bear spray when enjoying these trails.

This park is safe for kids and has a great walking trail to it for exercise. Love coming here and hanging out.

Great playground for kids. Would have given it a five star rating but water fountains are off.

Can bring age children. I love it

The new playground is phenomenal. Its literally a castle :)

Beautiful area with a first class playground.

Great place for the entire family to have fun and relax. Its also wonderful for handi•capable people to participate in activities. The big downside is that there isnt enough available parking.

My kids LOVE this park!

My daughter and I loved this place

There is plenty to do.. Fishing, boating, playground not just for kids but adults as well.. It has parking for the disabled, little paths around the lake to walk your pets, place to have a picnic with family or friends.. Restrooms & portable restrooms... Its a place to unwind.. Lay in the grassy Knowles.. Get a chance to check it out.. GO FOR IT!!!

Its one of the best play grounds for kids in juneau clean and quiet and grate views and weather!

My kids and I love this park.. One of the best parts of Juneau.

My girls love the 3 story slides

Great park for kids of all ages and abilities. Great accessibility for handicapped individuals and fun lake side waterfront. Plus, you cant beat the play gym!

Excellent castle playground....my 6 year old son loves it...cool location...good paved pathways with plenty of room

Wonderful for all age groups to play

Huge accessible playground, floating fishing pier thats great for kids, a covered picnic area, and a paved walking path. Great place to spend some time with the family.

Very knowledgeable guides, great educational boards, including a touch tank. Good bathrooms, accessible. Loved it.

Awesome

Great park and recreation area for kids and families with beautiful scenery.

Awesome playground very large!!! Lots for kids to do!!

Good place to LARP

Twin Lakes is a great place to take the kids. There are a lot of activities, such as swimming, playing frisbee, fishing, and the playground. Its a great get away from TV, and cell phones.

Great place to relax or to let the kids run and play.

Nice family park..

Beautiful setting, pleasant views

Amazing playground

There were hardly ANY kids there. Was perfect for relaxing

Nice spot for walk along the water.Great picnic area and childrens play area.

A great place for kids and dogs, there is a paved path along the perimeter and one of the nicest playgrounds in Alaska

Great family place for swimming, fishing,playing and even a spot to run your dogs. A paved path for biking or walking. You can get to it by public bus.

Awesome

It is nice but water isnt the cleanest.

Great walking area

Was great to see firsthand the newly rebuilt play areas! Such wonderful artwork sprinkled throughout, so many varied activities & super cool swings. Littles can even try out a mini zipline. As a visitor from out of town, I was impressed.

Geat place to take pause

Good place to take your kids to have fun at the park, walk the lake or go swimming in the lake...

My 5 year old neice really enjoyed this park

My kids love coming here. So many different unique things to play with at the park that they never get bored.

A nice place to fish. And to kayak with friends and family.

This is the best park in all of Juneau!

Great food and clean.

Great walking trail and playground

Great place to take the kids, really dislike the restroom facilities.

Twin lakes (casually known as Castle Park) is a recently rebuilt super playground. It was destroyed in an inferno about 2 years ago and just finished reconstruction this year, 2019. It includes some play rquipment desinged for people with physical disability, pour in place rubberized ground for wheelchair and limited mobility access, and swings, ziplines, and other things installed with restricted mobility in mind. It has two multi-story structures to play in (hence the local nomenclature) with slides down, which, while accessibly by adults, are *not* designed with mobility impairments in mind. For those who can access them, though, theyre awesome! Its one of the few places in town that offers a running space where your feet wont get soggy (a small astroturf field) and the whole park is fenced by rounded pickets. Its also the only local park that has a large dedicated toddler/preschool area with a small maze, lots of art, and little-kid friendly slides and attractions!Outside that, there are a few covered eating areas, a fireplace, a fishing dock with rails to catch the trout stocked annually (as of this review, the king salmon stocking program is discontinued) and permanent bathrooms with drinking fountains. An additional (though fairly faded) attraction is the trail that runs the length of the lakes and a bit beyond- starting at castle park there is a huge sun painted on the ground, and the solar system is mapped out along the trail to scale (distance between them is to scale, not size of planets/Sol) so you can pretend youre the New Horizons probe and enjoy the looooong trip out to Pluto and then wander around afterward to see whats out there XDParking is ample and easy, its directly on the bus line, and though Ive never known it to be neccessary in all the years Ive been here, its about 60 seconds away from the hospital complex! So let the kids get wild lol.I also recommend swinging by Costco or Breeze In to get some lunch and make a picnic of it in the summer, or cocoa from Breeze In during the winter to take advantage of one of the best family sledding hills in town, just behind the park. If youre visiting in the summer, you can also stop by the DIPAC fish hatchery to see the salmon coming in just across the main street, about 2 minutes away.Seriously, hard to go wrong with a trip to this park!

Nice walk. But the lake stinks in some areas.

Center of Juneau and beautiful location for dogs and kids to play!

Great place to go walking!

New park set up is great. A great place to bring the kids anytime

Its awesome here!

Castle playground is great for the kids

This used to be the best park,playground, walking, and dog trail until the playground was accidently set on fire by two young children. Efforts are being made, and funds are being raisedto rebuild the playground. The community needs this place back. It was and will be again a monument showing what can be accomplished when everyone bands together focusing on the same goal. 01/04/2018- Ice Skaters and hockey players on the lakes greatvhill for sledding

Great kids to play

Nice place for family bonding

Fishing, dodgeball, handicap parking accessible, picnic bbq, friends and family time of gatherings pedal boats, swimming. And amusement park; slide, swing, loops

Always a great spot.

Had fun fishing with grand sons.

Nice park very scenic mountains and Salmon Creek

I went there to see how things were different from before the fire

Wonderful place.

Love this place, winter and summer fun for everyone...

Empty some bad vibes hanging around the area but that seems most places I go and Im always alone most 99.5% of the time not as unnerved as some others might be use to the space so I hate when other invade my space and touch my belonging on public transportation or in crowded areas

Had a great time
