Such a great park, at least to walk your dog in, or to take a walk yourself. Its always been reasonably clean for something public, and it looks so nice and well kept up with. There are geese in the area, but they usually tend to stay in the open field or the river, so they havent given me trouble on the trail or park at all. It connects to Crawford Park just south of Merrifield, which makes long walks easier.

Love the ice rink! Its very affordable at $4 per adult and $3 for skate rental. Ive tried the Howard Park ice trail and I think I prefer having the larger rink at Merrifield. Its also much closer to home and a bit less busy. They also have adorable seals to use to help with balance for those that arent very good at ice skating yet. Ive seen children sit on them and get pushed around on the ice.

It is located on the river with public access for boating. On shore fishing, playground with free water pad, Olympic size pool with food and lockable storage as well as an ice skating rink with rental skates! A Japanese garden for weddings also a rental lodge for a special inside occasions complete with fireplace!

I am a safety first guy, so the decision not to open the pool to keep everyone safe is the right call. We love the park in general, too, but its important to support unpopular decisions that help my family stay alive.

The facility is old but the ice was nice. It is a good value. It would be better if there was a bigger area for spectators.

What an awesome park!!! Its like Kids Kingdom without the splinters. Pavilions with grills, picnic tables and electricity, although you may have to rent them when the nicer weather starts, Im going to check into it for myself because this park is so nice and clean and has a beautiful river walk.

Went to the pool and paid. As we were walking towards the pool, the called a 30 minute break due to dark clouds. Waited for 30 minutes for it to stop.it didnt stop raining I asked for a refund due to the fact we never even got close to the pool but they said no

Visited here on our last trip to Mishawaka to visit friends. Great value to have the kids get out of the house. Attentive and not overbearing life guards make it enjoyable to let the kids play. Nice break every so often to allow adults only to swim which is nice. Will come again!

This place is one of my favorite places to swim with my friends. My favorite part is the diving platform s. Ones about 1 foot of the water. The next one is about a good 7 feet then theres two other platforms that are restricted to people.
