It was a nice atmosphere, we had a BBQ and sat under the pavilion to eat and hang out with friends.

Since they did all the improvements and added in some more activities and playground for the kids a good place to bring your family and the environment is laid-back along with plenty of places for shade and you could just relaxJ

Skate Park River walkway Rodeo grounds

Peaceful place, as long as you dont mind being around the local beggars

Safe...enough. dont go without someone with you. Especially later on. I know of this park from a nearby school. There ARE a lot of homeless people. Maybe things have changed since 2012 (Im certain they have) but quite honestly they were so harmless that we even nicknamed them. Listerine Jack, Shoeless Sally, and the ratchet sisters(not homeless but local thieves). Also theres a guy who would throw knives at a specific while crying, LIKE CLOCKWORK, every Saturday. Otherwise, its okay in numbers. Theres space if you want to set up a large gathering for sports. The grounds are kept up okay.The playground equipment was sorta rusty though and Ive even gotten cut. You should check out the local public garden. Its nice and theres picnic space as of 2013-2014.

I only go through this park as a shortcut to 26th and Washington from 25th and Grant so I dont have much to say for the park, except for I use to go to the lunch in the park at 1:30pm on Sundays. Its a free meal from a church (dont recall which one). At said lunch there is the occasional drama from the people attending the meal but Pastor Jesse (may have spelled wrong) always seems to calm stuff down quickly and is very good at helping everyone know theyre loved!

Was AA meeting & it was awesome I got my 24 hour chip.

This was a very clean and quiet park

Be careful. I had my wife go with our daughter to the bathroom because a lot of homeless have been hanging around. Normally 1 or two is not a issue. But there was someone actively camping out in the bathroom. And according to my wife a man was waiting behind a trashcan. When he saw my 9 year old got up real quick. Then when he noticed my wife sat right back down just as quick. Everyone has a reason I get that. But safety being a issue at a public park during the free meals for kids should never come up. Kids should feel safe. Be careful and watchful. Just remember everyone has a reason and be safe

Very clean nice kids

Great park for aa meetings!

Park is clean and cared for. Except that the homeless are almost always camped out at the gazebo. I dont believe the city cares enough about the homeless problem to fix this. We were a week from being homeless ourselves. Utah just plain doesnt care if they create more homeless or not. And yes I said theyre creating their homeless problem. Rent prices here are 2-3 times higher than they should be.

A nice park right next to the main branch of the library.

It good place to bring kids but to much homeless ppl.hsng here drugs and it needs to stop

Nice park.

I cant wait till spring until its green again

Wouldve been fine if it wasnt for the homeless and drug addicts hanging out all over the park. Play area had needle caps laying around.

Great park and I always take over the Pokémon Gym (K4rpeDiem) but the library blocked the bathrooms with a fence so its super inconvenient when you are just chillin and hanging out with friends and then you have to walk into the library to use the toilet.

Scaey people doing scary things in the restrooms. Men in womens restroom constantly.

This is a nice park. Utah needs to step up their game. There are no restrooms and when I went there there were a bunch of families coming together for a family activity. How come Utah locks the public restrooms? Ok maybe at night so you wont have people trying to live in them, but Sunday is a day that families congregate together, I would hope Utah could wake up to this fact. Sometimes Sunday is the only possible day for families to get together. #Unlock the restrooms on Sunday Utah!

Its a Great Park in the daytime

Becarful homeless ppl hang out there

The Potters Houses &180 Productions gave an amazing concert and the kids loved the playground and it was a great time at this park!

So after going through the reviews on this park. Ive never seen such a discrepancy between people. Its either a one-star or four or five star. Very few people are in the middle at all.Its either a great park with beautiful trees and shade, and hey!! Its next to the library and a great place to bring your kids and have a picnic or barbecue or something iin that matter.Or theres the undivided negative reviews that say, its a drug addict Park filled with needles and baggies and homeless people who can scare you in the bathroom. And a place you do not want your kids around.The thing is, theres like at least 50 of these reviews per side.So its both I think, and its either a timing thing like nighttime or daytime. Maybe a day of week time for some reason, or maybe even the moon. Heck I dont know.But I think the choice should be this, if you want to go to a park and youre close by (like the library.) You just drive by and see how sketcky/shady the park looks, stop if it looks good, drive if it looks bad. But I wouldnt take any special trips to come out to this park just cuz.

Nice park. It is right next to the county library.

It was fun. They have a little push twist carousel. Next to a nice school park but it is fenced off didnt see any no trespassing signs but still didnt enter. Over all even tho it was cold. It was fun.

Its great for the abundance of shade th e park has,but,some shady characters come & go through this park ???

It was good kids had a good time

A nice little park near the Library with a playground for the kids.There are plenty of trees for shade and green space for picnics.

Nice park but there are a lot of bums wandering around.

It reminds me of the mountains

Nice place to sit in the shade and chat with friends

The playground is okay, but there are better in the area. But the open green space is really big ans open which is nice. Also conveniently located by the library.

Im like great movie

Bathrooms off of 24th street are not properly stocked

Love the park play with my dog and talk with friends

The restroom was disgusting

Nice part but drugs are all over

Beautiful big trees. Shady (trees and otherwise) part of town.Playground actually in okay shape. Restrooms available. Near library - currently under construction, it will be nice to have that done.

They have really clean the spark up its nothing like it used to be I said children at play families having picnics the true meaning of what a park is socially meant to be

Great for playing pokemon

Very beautiful area....Halloween was awesome!!

It suck

Has grills big playground lots of grass area.

Nice little park

More of a field than a park. Tiny play area. Plus side, good covered picnic area

Have to fight off criminals most of the time

Clean and huge close to the river as well.

Park was nice but watch your stuff or it will get stolen

They were giving free lunches for the kids.

For the nice area to sit and chill in the shade

It great cuz there is a library there to

My neighbor.. Her grandson and i went there.. Theres homeless people sleeping there.. And homeless sitting at the picnic table.. Not a very safe place to bring kids anymore.

Cool place to play

Nice surroundings. People and pets were pleasant

Nice grounds, well kept but a lack of recreational equipment.

Its hot

Its a park

Its a park for the homeless

This park is very clean and has lots of shade but I could not find a water fountain or anything to cool me off. The playground itself was alright.

Grew up here. Still such a beautiful park.

Ive never actually gone into this park. I just visit my friend who lives across the street. The whole area is unwelcoming in my opinion. There are too many drug addicts around the area. And in the whole neighborhood in fact. The last thing I would want is my future children playing in a park where I have to worry about them getting stuck with a needle.

Nice, clean park next to library. Neighborhood is sketchy but cops are always there patrolling.

Great place to walk and hang in the shade.

The kids like this place.

Nice grass

I was actually at the Golden Hours Senior Center. I had to park by Lester park because they were repaving the senior center parking lot.

Love the Scenery

To many homeless people hangout there. Close to my home so I spend quite a bit of time there

Love this park and its natural environment.

Good place to sleep

The biggest trees ever

A lot of homeless people and drug addicts hang out here...I need to find a safer place I can take my grandson to....I wasnt very impressed at all

Filled with drug addicts when u walk through you all you see are they re little bagies

Secluded

I did chinups on the playground equipment early in the AM while the homeless people were still asleep. Surrounded by senior living centers its not a hot local spot and the bathrooms were locked so everyone just peed on the building.

Hobo friendly

Walking the puppy

Exciting

Beautiful place.

Great place for bbq

Grew up here. This is home

Nice open space

To many people who are on DRUGS

Enjoyed it

Nice

Too small of an area

Close to Ogden library.

Clean pet&people friendly

I like this Park

Needle caps in the playground

Not bad

Good

Groomed and Tidy ;-)

Thanks for a clean park
