Wonderful park next to Kaw River. At the right time of the year you can watch the KU Rowing teams practicing their sport. Even on a cloudy, cold day in winter, there is wild life to enjoy watching.

Scenic and shady walk down the river and through historic downtown and west side neighborhoods. Instead of heading to Watson Park, go by the boat house to watch geese and swing on the shady swing set. Places to sit, and fishing.
