Its a big park and has a lot of equipment. Great place for quick lunch and Pokemon go. Its even located near a stream thats nice to enjoy and silly squirrels but its not comfy nice its more formal nice, I guess. Not a thing wrong with it, plenty of room and well kept just not the piece of heaven I look for like at sunset park.

A huge park full of old old oak trees. This park has multiple areas including a playground, a toddler playground, a ADA playground full of music making toys, a large stage that shows frequent plays and music in the summer, tennis courts and private tables/grills for picnics by the river. The park hosts the Smokey hill river festival in the summer as well as several children’s days and holidays cookouts. This is an excellent park with wide sidewalks and lovely flower gardens.(Note: because of the danger of flooding and summer drought, the river doesn’t always have water. And even when it does, this is Kansas. Don’t swim in the rivers. ;)

Lots of different little things to do. I really like the music park with all the percussion stuff. Beautiful flowers in spring and summer. I enjoy walking over the bridges and looking down the creek and seeing wild life.

Always a good time. Whether looking for a peaceful and serene, botanic place to have your wedding, or to have a photo/video shoot. Playground was recently updated with lots of strength and sensory fun, doesn towards the north west entrance is also the sound playground with different instruments thaht any kid would love to explore.

Review №26

This is the largest park in Salina. It has a ton of places to take pictures, several stages for performances and music, lots of sport areas and playgrounds.This park is nice because if all the attractions it has, from an old steam engine you can walk inside to a music garden with a bunch of different percussion instruments to play with. Furring the summer this is where a lot of the city events and festivals are Held as well.

Great open spaces and room for kids to run and play. During the summer there are concerts on Thursday nights. In 2020 the physical process of restoring the river will begin that will be a wonderful transformation with bike and walking paths and the ability to boat on the river.

Nice venue for the Smoky Hills Festival. Ive attended this annual event in Salina 2 or 3 times. Always a huge variety of art vendors, jewelry crafters, musicians, food vendors and just about anything youd want to see or buy from very expensive to affordable hand crafted items. They do a great job with this Festival!

My favorite Salina Park. We grew up visiting this park. It used to have two beautiful white suspension bridges, they have been replaced by much safer steel bridges. The park has memorials at the North entrance and the statue of liberty at the West entrance. The flower walk and all the mature oak trees really make this one a standout. It is always very well maintained and has the City Park Department Offices and maintenance shop in the Northeast corner. A great place to visit!

Review №85

Might have a bit of a skewed view since I went there for the LeadSled carshow but it is spacious and clean and we had a great time. The layout is varied enough as well as spread out enough for different activities to be going on in various parts of the park without them bothering anyone else. Nice older park with character!
