The park itself was nice. Actually pretty clean. Unfortunately the big parking lot is closed. So you cant park close to pond. Also closer to skate boarding part.... To many wanderers. Sad. And clear out the porta potty if your not going to keep it up. You know and see the problem. Anyone not addicted to drugs cannot go in there.
I have been bringing my son here to skate since he was about seven, he is twelve now. I gave three starts because the skatepark itself is great, but the location not so much. Lots of transients and drug users, and often young kids that are troublemakers, who smoke and drink without a parent in sight to supervise them. However, the regulars that are there to skate are decent people have always been great with my son. I love that we have a skatepark like this in town and, as long as you are vigilant, recommend giving it a visit!
Need to pick this whole complex up and move it out of the ghetto. Fields are nice, but lock your car up, and come heavily armed! If you camp there overnight, expect to leave with less than you came with! This weekend was yet another yard sale for the homeless, with several of our group getting stuff stole overnight. Might I suggest playing tournaments in another place?
Its a really nicely designed skate park with the bowl and transfers and infinite number of lines to explore. The main problem I have is where this city decided to build the thing. Literally in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Yakima. Kids from other areas of town dont get exposure or use because of safety concerns, and rightly so. Ive never witnessed any violence but have heard of over a dozen fights and even some gun play on a few of those occasions. Its just too bad for the little ones that need a place to skate like that but cant because of knuckleheads that dont know how to act in a public place with kids around.
The park its self is awesome! Basketball courts, Baseball fields, a huge Playground and a wonderful Skate Park. The drawbacks are that it is so nice, people tend to want to live there. And when they leave their domicile when asked to move on, they dont bring everything they brought with them. The city staff does a pretty good job of making sure its nice, its just a hard neighborhood.
Great big park lots of stuff to do. Usually well maintained.
I really love to skate and my kids are mini professionals amazing place to just relieve ALOT of stress also once u have enough u can walk the gorgeous park
Big park lots to do there has ducks by the pond too
I appreciate the fact they have bathrooms available to the public. It seems like too often many of yakimas businesses are unwilling to facilitate any unexpected emergent need of customers at least in terms of providing a . It is greatly appreciated by myself as well as many others that these restrooms are maintained for a better yakima experience for locals as well as out of towners who may find them selves in need of such a rest stop as the one provided by Kiwanis Park. Thank you again for providing the community with such a needed luxury on a consistant bases.
A very nice place for Kidz and visitors too
We were visiting family in Ellensburg from Spokane & my son really wanted to scooter at this skate park. He really liked it but unfortunately he set his phone down and someone took off with it =(
The park I love I love going to Parks I had a picnic planned and it went out and I could not have the picnic for the simple fact I started having a lot of charley horses I call monkey bites all the time but we got home before it snowed so now we have more snow on the ground and no more picnics yet in the future but I will be planning some gas the snow decides to go away and not showers but we do need the water and everything is getting watered by the snow its also gain present by the snow so I I hope you are having a nice day and I will let you go and think about the parts we need Parks & picnics we have a lot of fun at and we can go feed the Ducks and we can go swimming in the pond if theyre its allowed and theres a lot of things we can do we can go up the hill and we can go running back down really quick and really fast we can sing along with the radio if we have battery is in the radio theres things that we can do that is very fun at the park and think about the park have fun enjoy
Nice baseball fields and the small pond was great for miners
Love the duck pond
Great skate park, with good options.
Was nice to sit and watch the ducks while eating lunch.
Favorite place for me and my kiddos to feed the ducks
Very cool place to take the kids
Great spot in general, yeah theres a few grimies there but all in all its at least cleaner than other parks.
A place to take the family great neighborhood
Great skatepark & nice playset. Bathrooms are rough and there is a lot of drug use.
Very nice park, but the water needs to get cleaned and theres dog poop literally everywhere, plus youd see lots of homeless in this area
I had a very nice time there, it was my 1st time there and I had a very nice time there.
I love it here. Been coming here since I was 5 yrs old.
This is just a remarkable place you would have to visit there to understand it is absolutely just breathtaking with so much to do there you wont get bored I promise...
It would be nice if the pond was given a make over so the area around the pond would have more appeal. The ducks have been a part of this park since the time I was a little girl. Maybe its time to create a pond that will make visiting the ducks more to remember. How hard could it be to get a little creative with the landscape.
Probably the best skate park in Yakima also has softball fields a basketball court a playground and a really cool old boiler with a smokestack
Great toys for kids, skate park and baseball field. Lots of parking and right next to a mini Mart.
Good to be sociable. Take a load off vwatch out for our youth
Went to watch my granddaughter play fast pitch, nice park looked pretty clean.
I really liked the toys, but the amount of trash wasnt pleasurable.
Peacful fun place for kids and little creek were ypu can see fishes
Nice view quiet Place.
Great place to take kids
Charged us $5 per person per day to go watch our son play tournament baseball, even though we already paid through the nose for him to play in the tournament. No other tournament locations do this. Ridiculous.........
Been coming last 6 years and love these fields
Not a bad place for the kids butthe pond needs cleaned
Always a pleasant trip to the park at kiwanis. Large toy variety for all ages and there are basketball hoops,baseball fields and a skate park there also. And there is the pond you can feed the ducks and geese love it!
Softball, leagues from pre wee all the way up to grandpa teams but the womens games can be quite entertaining. Large playground for younglings and of course YAKIMAS foremost shredding turf. Refreshments and chow across the street at Mikes Fair Ave market.
I think its a nice park. Many options to do like skating, playing, or looking at the ducks. Great experience.
The major upgrade makes it much better looking community!
Always have my youngest birthdays there
Very nice fields.
This is the best park to go to if you want a skateboard it has an amazing skatepark multiple areas to sit multiple layers of area to work with in an old abandoned building which probably is used for the lawn equipment
Nice experience for the whole family.
Lovely space.
Not a bad little Park I mean its okay for what it is
Fun. Nice time
My kids have grown up playing here. They like the slides, the pond & the skate park, & basketball court
Nice quiet park during week days. But lots of traffic cuz of skateboard area and lots goose poo. Good place to take kids to feed ducks and geese tho.
Great skate park! I take my kid here all the time!
My kiddos love the skate park. And the toys are amazing!!
My daughter loves to feed the ducks
Its Nikkos Favorite Park the spider Man park
Lots space kids run around.
Still a decent little park
Really clean and athletic
The girls had a blast
Good facilities. Sketchy part of town but good place to play ball.
Yakimas Kiwanis park is a terrible place to play softball. Whoever is in charge of field maintenance needs to go to Wenatchees Walla Walla point park to see the difference.
Good park like the basket ball court but they should take off the grafity off the slides
Too much drug traffic. Too close to the road.
My faviorate park to relax and enjoy watching the ducks
Great place to take your children. There is a skate park and several baseball diamonds.
Kids stay entertained
Scummy area around it. Bring self defense weapon
Beautiful well maintained park and sports facility.
We love to feed the duckies.

Great place to walk your dog theres a skate park and a play ground for kids to play theres a store right across the street
Great facility just wish the neighborhood was better.
Kids play area is awesome but around the pond is filthy for wild life.
Well maintained baseball/softball fields and a great playground for kids. My only complaint was the sinks in the restrooms.
Only real place to hoop. Has jungle gym for kids.
Good
Great place for kids to play...
Good place to run the dogs, watch for goose poop.
Wheres the safety police?
Nice place to bring your family and friends.
Good humor
Good place to go to play on the toys ot play ball. However the skatepark can be a little sketchy especially at night
Great park with lots of grass and places for family picnics.
Easy access great place to stay out of the sun
Good place to have a barbecue
Its a nice park to take your kids to
Great park
Parks a bit dirty.
Great play equipment for kids. The bathrooms are inconveniently placed close to a very busy street.
