This is my kids absolute favorite playground. We come here almost every time we go to the zoo. The park has a ton of picnic tables, multiple pavilion, a playground, splash pad, and outdoor concert venue. The park features and ton of trees, so lots of shade to offset the little amount of shade the zoo offers. As with any park, theres some trash, but its not overwhelming, just people being jerks. Like I said, we really like this park and all that it has the offer.
They dont wipe the train down between rides. Because I enjoy not having COVID19, I wont ride the train with my family again.
Potawatomi Park has everything. Great covered picnic tables, excellent playground, fun splash pad, restroom facilities and lots of shady trees! The whole park is very accessible and great for all ages. We keep returning here because its perfectly situated next to the zoo and the public pool. Grab your cooler and eat outside!
Great place to let the kids run around and play. Innovation play area and equipment. Awesome place for the dog lovers to visit. Dogs can interact or you can take the off through the grass. Others here are extremely friendly and seem to be enjoying the company of everyone around, from the kids to the parents and even the doggie members of the family. I strongly recommend visiting!!
Thank you Soul Function...GREAT SHOW
Great to see them updating the zoo and park. Hope to go there for years to come.
This park is not open. It has yellow caution tape around all equipment. Google maps says its open, but it is NOT.
Great park with multiple places for children to play. Nice and well maintained play structures for them to play on. Picnic areas to eat, a splash pad and pool all located there. There is also a zoo nearby. Plenty of trees for shade on hot days. Also plenty of parking.
Upkeep needs to get on the ball. Kids have fun, make new friends. Safe.
We love this park,we get a zoo pass every year.
So much to do! Pool, playground, splash pad, zoo!
Its cool. All though iam not
It was a great experience for the kids
Kids just loved it. So many things for them to play on. Exploring the greenhouse made it feel like a real adventure.
Best place to take the family like my granddaughter Piper.
Perfit 1st time. Plenty of shade, nice breeze and good interaction with the Lamas for the kids. Then went to water park next door for kids to release their energy. Nice day
Great park. It is well maintained and has a lot of large old trees. There are picnic tables and grills. The playground for kids is amazing - large with a lot of different and creative ways to engage kids.
Its creative and fun. Spread out so its not too crowded. Fuels many adventures every time
I went here as a child and now i love taking my children here.
Great place for the kids to play. Still keep a sharp eye on the little ones no matter what..
Nice place for the kiddos or a nice shady walk
We love kids kingdom and the Potawatomi park. Both are clean, bright, well maintained, and the kids have so much fun.
Nice little zoo that has been and still is being upgraded.
My kids have always enjoyed the playgrounds. I usually just relax in the shade.
Love taking the kids here. Fun family atmosphere and quite clean.
I love the park and the zoo!!
Lively lovely park. Always busy tho.
The kids love it, the splash pad nearby makes it a day trip. Plenty of seats for the adults.
This is a great Park and its always very clean and well-kept but it is a Pokemon go players dream park as it is full of pokestops, Pokemon and Gyms
Clean invorment area grandkids and I enjoyed are day 3hours
All around family activities including a great Zoo two different playgrounds and a greenhouse and a swimming pool
Nice place to visit and enjoy family and friends
Well worth the price 9f admission
Please consider full body swings for special needs children. Maybe 3
The kids had fun.
Great for family gatherings. Please call first and get reversations first
Lots of fun for the kids. A huge clean track to walk around.
Fun playground and usually lots of kids playing here on nice days. Potawatomi zoo and Kids Kingdom playground are both right next to this park as well
Lots of fun! Lots for the kiddos to do
I really love that park always have
The kids lived it we definitely will return
Wonderful city park. However the bathrooms are nasty beyond all our worst expectations.
Great had a good time
Great place for kids of many ages - if theyve got any interest in a playground, theres equipment here for them. There are several sheltered pavilions, which can be reserved for events, and grills throughout. The splash pad is nice and big, too, and a great option for kids who cant swim or dont have access to a pool.One star reserved for cleanliness sometimes - the parks popularity and high traffic means it needs a lot of attention, which it doesnt always get. There is sometimes trash about or the remains of someones picnic.
Well kept park. Picnic tables thru out the park. A couple of play grounds for the kids along with a pool. A zoo for the whole family. Everything is very clean and well maintained. They also have a conservatory right on the main street and a band shell for concerts thru out the summer
Modest size, but rich and diverse flora to enjoy. The desert dome is a real treat, and small potted starters of the plants found there are often available for purchase. Some specimens seem to lack a label, and very few have anything more than a name. This is a place to enjoy plant life, not necessarily to learn a great deal about it.
Very personable zoo!! You could touch everything :-)
This place is awesome! It has a little bit of everything. There are 2 separate playgrounds, a public pool, splash pad, amphitheater, lots of picnic tables, and last but not least, the Potawatomi Zoo! This place is great for children of all ages and there is always something going on in the evenings.
My children and I love this place
Its a lovely park
Easy to view animals. Compact design. Bring quarters to feed some of the animals
Best park for miles. Grandkids love it. For ages up to 12. Cork base. Has splash pad. Restrooms not far. Adults get lots of exercise too either following little kids on equipment or walking around and around trying to keep the little bigger ones in sight. Zoo on other side of parking lot. Lots of picnic tables and grilled if you want to make a day of it. Ice cream truck comes down street regularly. Btw, besides tons of animals, etc. Zoo has train ride and really nice carousel. Food available in zoo. Zoo closes at 4. So not best for after school. Just hit playground and splash pad after school to really wear the young kids out.
Attended an all class LaSalle high school reunion, the best one ever.
Decent selection of animals and a fun carousel plus train ride.
Fun just a bit choatic and difficult to follow my kids when its busy
This is a great park to take the family for the day and the zoo is right next door.
Small zoo, but the animals are close up, the exhibits are well done and well kept, and the variety is great.
Had a blast
There are performances in the Chris Wilson Pavillion every Saturday night until Aug 25th. Tonight was the IUSB Jazz Ensemble. They were great, playing a variety of tunes from Big Band/Swing to Contemporary.
Animals were so active and beautiful great experience
Not for 1 year olds not much for them to do.
There is always broken beer bottles and needles everywhere around the park
Awesome place for family gatherings!!! Also going for events held here!!
Wonderful park, great location! Splash pad, picnic pavilions, playground and amphitheater. Easy access to Potowatami park zoo. This is our favorite park!
Great park for children of all ages
Almost a perfect place to play. With the location being so open, it needs cleaned up a bit better so my kids arent picking up plastic, empty liquor bottles, and cigarette butts
Great place for the children.
Kids really enjoyed outdoors time and barbecue
The best picnic areas around!
I went for free. Its good for free.
