Such a great park. Plenty of things to do for kids of all ages. Off-street parking or street parking. Close to the walking path for easy access if you want to walk along the lake. Only 1 covered pavilion, but its well kept and great for a picnic or birthday party.

We had fun because we were together as a family and we were lucky to have the park to ourselves. We loved the place without a doubt, it is a nice space and we will come back, but... the reason I am not giving the park 5 stars is because it needs a lot of maintenance. I dont know if the state of the place is due to the harsh winter, but many of the things on the playground are needing to be replaced or at least a coat of paint. I hope someone reads this and helps to preserve such an important part if the city. Rochester has beautiful parks and this place is one of them. I am attaching pictures for you to see. Have a blessed day

Safe and fun park. Great place to take grandchildren, nice bench swings for adults; placed close to play area.

Good luck with any social distancing here. Parents dont even seem to care about where or what their kids are doing. The park tho is a great way for kids to get some energy out. Just beware of where your kids end up, under the bridge isnt a very welcoming place.

My kids love running around at this park. My oldest is ten and still loves it. Lots of grassy areas but the geese have been taking it over a bit.

Big fun park.. my kids favorite by far... People pretty friendly in the area as well. Recommend for sure

Have visited this park many times and my own kids and now my grandkids love coming here. Always a fun time.

Wonderful equipment. Kids played for an hour. Maybe could use equipment for older children but great overall.

Not very clean. But fun.

I love all of the new stuff there! It is so entertaining for kids and it is just overall one of the best parks in Rochester!

This park is handicap accessible. There are usually children here and everyone plays together. It is a great place to wear out active children. It has an imaginative play area, preschool play area and big kid area. It is not unusual to see elementary school age children, teenagers and adults playing tag together. There are many places to sit including benches, 2 person swings and picnic tables. There are well maintained bathrooms and multiple drinking fountains available as well as an accurate and cool sundial!

Great place for kids to have fun. Lots of slides and swings, one seesaw and smaller ines for toddlers.

This is beautiful! Very family-friendly, wheelchair accessible, beautiful natural setting, lots of play areas, skateboard park, pool, large gazebo-type structure with public restrooms, plenty of parking

My kids love going here to play

Such a big park with plenty to do for all ages and there is a pool right next door!

This park is one of my favorites. There is so much space to for the kids to run and play. Big enough for hide and seek with tons of slides, swings, and things to play on. The bathrooms and pavilion are a plus as well as the nearby walking path and silver lake pool.

This is a beautiful place to take family. There is a large parking lot so theres plenty parking places. The playground equipment is incredible to say the least. We were there when the trees were blossomed and there was a beautiful aroma in the air.

A great place to let your creativity play

Its a big park..... but there was a huge puddle at the bottom of one of the slides so we had to cut our visit short because my son was soaked.

Amazing park I used to go here all the time for hours and not get bored. My little sister loves it so much

Love the New equipment.

This is a great park to keep kids occupied for extended periods.

Great place for the kids to go to...to socialize, have fun, and to burn off all of that excess energy! There are public restrooms, benches for the olders to sit and observe, a covered pavilion for small parties or picnics, a public pool nearby and off-road parking!

They have the skyway system here, i pushes the stroller over thru the ramps and made my way across the park while i was above the ground. Great trees for the kids to climb.

What an amazing playground.my kids loved it! So did I

Family friendly place. Lots of space to play.

Love love love this park. Its huge and the kids love it.

This place is huge! It has stuff for kids of all ages. I have a 2 year old and he loves it!

Some questionable people coming out of trees here. Also one guy was asleep on the sidewalk by the bathrooms. I stayed pretty close to the kids and kept a close eye on those tree people at this park.

I remember when this park was new but now it is sadly unkempt by the rec and park department. Many broken toys and rotten wood, which poses safety hazards, and weeds growing rampant throughout the play area. This would be a great if the city of Rochester would put some money back into it.

The park is well maintained and large enough that younger children dont get runoff by bigger kids....room for everyone

Overall very fun. It is a mix of new and old playground equipment. Some of it is broken, but still fun.

Great place to bring kiddos!! Make sure to pack a small bottle of soap and a roll of toilet paper just in case, as well as something cool to drink. Out kids usually find other children here to play along with. Decent seating areas for parents. Lots of parking available. Park is across the street from Silver Lake Park.

Well kept up, kids enjoy it. Nice variety of equipment.

This park is great for kids AND parents. This has always been my favorite park and always will be!

Nice playground area. Watch the ground for goose poop!

Nice park

This place is so much fun!!

This park is amazing but kids can quickly get lost in the magnitude of it all when theres lots of people!

Fun park, but the restrooms were locked and water fountain was not on.

Nice fun play area that is handicap able.

This park was built right at the end of my childhood and was/is a blast; its fun going back with my daughter. Even though its right next to 2 busy roads it has large grassy areas to act as buffers. Another feature that is nice is the covered eating area with restrooms. The park could use some cosmetic repairs but still a fun, huge park.

Great place for children of all ages.

Huge playground for kids. Probably one of the best in Rochester.

Nice family park, fit for anyone. :)

Fun for the littles and big kids!

Large playground with a variety of things to do for multiple ages. One of our favorites in Rochester!

Go here all the time with my kid. She always finds someone to play with. Great sitting areas for parents.

Probably the best playground Ive ever seen! If youre lucky enough to live within walking distance, your kids will probably live here during the summer months. Its right next to Silver Lake, which is a plus. And you can walk there from downtown in about 10-15 minutes.

Great spot well maintained easy to get out of the wind, spend time running my Lab

Big park. Has trains and pirate ship and a huge jungle gym. kids love

Great fun place for the whole family

Love this park. Always kids around for socializing. Parents are usually friendly, kids may try to get you to play tag. Best in Spring and Fall. Can get really hot in the Summer. Winter can be dangerous, especially when the giant plaque is covered in snow...(Ive slipped a number of times) lol

Nice big playground.

This park is large and has a lot of different areas for different ages/skill levels. The size ensures theres something for everyone even when crouded. My girls love The Big Park

Great park for Children.

It was such a huge park, definitely go there if your ever in Rochester mn

Great for kids under 10

Clean and fun place for kids, but its a big place so keep an eye on your kiddos!

Great place for families!

Great place for children

Big park, where kids can play, restrooms, water fountains, and really cool play toys, such as swings,cars,ships,balance beam and more this is a great place!

So much fun, me and my boys love to come have a picnic and play tag at the park

Its clean and child-friendly

Falling apart and equipment for little kids in poor shape

Great park. Lots of stuff to keep little ones busy

My kids LOVE this park! There are two sections, one for younger kids and one for older kids. Both are great.

Beautiful park.

It was as fun OP lace. Kids had lots of fun.

Its one of my Grandsons favourite places to play !

Great place for kids

Great park for kids. One of Rochesters favorites.

Fun place

It used to be a great park but it has begun to wear down and the city is the keeping it up like it used to. Yes, its big, but I worry about the safety of some of the equipment.

A great place for kids to hang out and good around. Sometimes an ice cream truck stops by.

Its one of the biggest parks in town but the layout creates blind spots for tracking multiple children of different age groups. Many of the original wooden structures are showing their age and use now. The park is still our go-to park for getting the kids running and tired but for the above reasons I can only give it three stars.

Biggest park in Rochester! Very well maintained

Large playground that is well maintained. It is appropriate for all kiddos.

Great place for young children to play!

Nice play area

They know exhaust systems from A to Z, are fast, and do good work.

Awesome place for kids to burn off energy

Very nice and clean

Great place to take you kids and grandkids. Benches everywhere and bathrooms open!

Great place to take the kids for some fun.

Our favorite park in Rochester.

The playground equipment has gotten very dirty & worn. The ground that used to be covered with wood chips is now a muddy mess. We wont go back until maintenance is done.

Nice, peaceful

Some things need to be fixed up

Needs to be updated. Most of the paint is off and pieces are missing

Large fun park with easy access and parking

My son loves the wooden train!

Nice park

Great place to take the granddaughter to

They have late night bathrooms

Lots of gnats and flies

Cool
