Surprised this place has such positive ratings. This park is immediately south of the U-C Sanitary Districts wastewater treatment plant and it smells TERRIBLE. I couldnt stand the stench and Im sure its not healthy for children to be inhaling these toxic fumes. Its revolting that a park for children is located right text to a wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater plant also seems to attract hoards of mosquitoes: we have been playing outside in other areas around town daily without any mosquito problems but when we arrived at Ambucs we were immediately ambushed by them!! They were everywhere. The adjacent repugnant wastewater plant combined with the ubiquitous mosquitoes made for a terrible experience and we will never return to Ambucs Park. Do yourselves a favor and keep your kids AWAY!

Its a great park with sculptures a playground and a pavilion. However, its right next to the sewage treatment plant so it smells terrible sometimes.

Ambucs Park is a great area. A large area with lots of trees, fun music makers, and a fabulous playground. The playground is accessible and you can see most areas anywhere you stand. There is also a nice toddler play area.

I love this park. Always cleaned properly, the men doing it are so nice and do such. Good job taking care of it. Its seems to be a pretty safe park but there is a homeless lady that likes to hand out there and bathe in the bathroom.

Its a shame that a sensory park is so close to the water treatment facility and a gun range. While safe those two things really detract from the park.

I like that there are a couple of pavilions. The playground is close but not right next to pavilion. The ball field and bathrooms are nicef too. Appreciate the grills, trash and recycling

A large park with some interesting play structures... But it is right next to a sewage treatment facility so if the wind is just right it can get unpleasant.
