Great place to view the river and watch the barges navigate the river curve. Good view of the Blue Bridge. A few minutes relieves hours of stress.

One of my favorite parks in Owensboro KY, beautiful water front and lots of amazing seating to enjoy the view. Theres more than enough parking for any gathering of people, theres picnic tables for food, and a playground for kids. You really couldnt ask for a better park.

This park has a boat ramp and great views of the river. The jungle gym itself looks clean and maintained for the most part. Ive seen homeless sleeping on the picnic benches. This park also has a restroom and plenty of parking. There are rows and rows of seating to watch the river.

Only boat ramp with dock for 30 miles. Lots of parking but you will have to walk the hill on weekends. Great dock if people would share. Not a no wake zone so have good fenders when barges go by

Nice riverfront park. Small but efficient and quaint playground. Would be good for group gatherings having multiple picnic tables together under cover. Unfortunately this is a location where you will find homeless men hanging out. Also a common place for drug and alcohol use apparently.

A very nice area to relax and take in the scenery. A great overview of the Ohio River, and nice foliage for photos and bird watching. Complete with a pirate ship playground for your childrens entertainment and and a covered picnic area when you just wanna enjoy the outdoors.

Decent sized park. Nice view. Wish some of the equipment was not broken. Very dirty, but I think it was due to the recent flood there.
