We came for the Spooktacular Movie Event and it was super fun! The Ampatheater was great place to host the movie and plenty of room to spread out! Everything was clean and felt safe the whole time

I have yet to attend an event at this venue that I haven’t enjoyed! The Park seems to suit every purpose, from egg hunts to concerts to kite festivals.When not used for an event or festival, the park has a wonderful splash pad that the city turns on in the summer months. It’s a great outdoor space!

Had given five stars and reasons why but when I discovered all bathrooms are locked( and it says park open until 6 pm) I removed two stars. Maybe a sign stating no restrooms so people could adjust time in looking at beautiful architecture.

Barnett Park is great for outdoor events. There is not playground equipment there but i bring my grandkids to play in the water and they love it! I like walking there. There is a pavilion with picnic tables there and the restrooms are usually pretty clean. My favorite feature is the architecture that you see on the grounds while there.

Review №57

Great place to go for a quick walk or to take the kids out to let them run around. Find myself playing frisbee here a couple times a year because of the wide open space and beautiful grass. The city hosts a few free events here each year, such as the international festival. Really adds to the community and really isnt used enough in my opinion.

Beautiful little green space to relax and read a book or play frisbee or walk around. There is not a ton of street parking but the Dunbar St parking garage is very close and is free on evenings and weekends. I would love to see more people enjoying this space!

Great for picnics and concerts. Wide open space is great for frisby, jogging, walking and relaxing on picnic blankets or lawn chairs. It has a splash fountain for the children. There are several community events held here like concerts and kite flying. The parking is pretty accessible from the street. Nice place to have lunch as well.

Nice park with somewhat restricted parkingHas gates for entry and an amphitheatre that hosts several events and concerts year roundHas a multi-spout water fountain for kids to play in but no playground if I remember correctly.. a trail goes on the outer edges of the entire park, although the park isnt all that large. Very easy to find.. decent pokemon go nest
