OVERVIEW: Nice medium sized park with a few miles of various gravel trails. Currently (Feb 2019) under construction at the park’s entrance, so we’re excited for what’s coming!PROS:-2 parking areas of either side (Wicker Street=50 spaces, Carbonton Road=10), handicap spaces at both-2 open field areas for picnics/kids/games, could be more after construction in done!-a body workout station in the middle with push-up/dips/pull-up/etc stations-lots of neat bridges throughout (see pic for the coolest one)CONS:-after rain it gets pretty flooded (see pics) with standing water on all of the low ground (60% of the park). Gravel trails are mainly unaffected though-benches and some manmade items are broken/worn and need repair-not the prettiest wildlife, but decent for being right out side the downtown, see pics for some of the prettier growth we sawWe live a mile away, so for what it’s worth we know we’ll be back! I’d love to come to an event when the construction is over, enjoy

The splash park was just in time for the end of the season last year oh, and what a great addition to the area it is. Unfortunately on account of people not having much sense at all oh, I doubt it will safely be able to reopen anytime soon.

My grandkids had a wonderful time! Plenty of space for many children. Love having security at the entrance, with one way in and out. The hit was the bucket spraying! It was a really good day.

Im actually quite impressed! Splash Zone was more than I (or my daughter) anticipated it to be (yes Im a kid at heart). The playground is actually really nice, as well! Love that they put down the spongey matting down. 2 downsides would be the slippery concrete flooring in the restrooms. Honestly, that is a total hazard waiting to happen especially with excited wet children. Also, there seems to be no ventilation in the restrooms either. Those are honestly my only complaints, thus far. It did just open, although. Hopefully Sanford will maintain it!

We love Kiwanis Family Park, and we play there every week. The playground area is in good shape, albeit the swings definitely need to be updated. Also, the parking lot is small and street side, so watch your kids when they get out!

It was a beautiful day to walk the park., Some areas were flooded due to the weather we have been having, but I do think the city could do more for drainage in the areas with standing water.

Sanfords hidden gem. Decent walking trails, and a solid Greenway that goes out to the movie theater. The only downside is you have to cross 2 streets.

Beautiful for a morning jog!!! Tho I wish there was security watching the park all the time as there are many suspicious people...DAY AND NIGHT! One night a friend of mines car broke down and she called me to come pick her up at the front and I see like 5 cars parked in the far corner being loud and I see a beer cooler on the floor while they smoke and yell being a public nuisance. I told her she could wait in the back BUT when I went to the back there were 2 cars and a guy screaming at his girlfriend maybe a domestic dispute and I told her we can get her car help in the morning because of how dangerous it was. Please do something about this. All kinds of people come here especially at night, keep our park safe!!!

Love walking here on the trails for fresh air and relaxing scenery. Also hanger picnic tables under a shelter for get togethers and a small park with a slide and swings and jungle gym. Modest but fun for these kids. Also it has water fountains and restrooms.

WITH AMAZING FANTASTERIFICAL THINGS FOR KIDS AND ADULTS ALIKE TO PLAY ON STIFF IVE NEVER SEEN ANY WHERE ELSE BEFORE AND ITS SO COLORFUL, ITS WHERE ALL 4 OF MY KIDS WANNA HANG OUT AT BUT I GUESS EBERYINE ELSES KIDS DO TOO BC THERES ALWAYS A LINE TO PLAY ON ANYTHING THERE, ITS JUST TO POPULAR. BUT AMAZATASTIC
