The Christmas lights were wonderful, however, Im upset that theyve taken my favorite ones away, and Im not sure if Ill be going back to see the lights. They only have a couple of lights still there that I do like, and I can see them from the road, anyways.The park itself has always been one of my favorite places, though, and I do intend on going back for a picnic once it warms back up.

Ive always enjoyed visiting Central Park since I was a kid. So many great memories and now I can take my 3 children to the newly updated version which still has some of the older equipment that us parents and probably grand parents remember!! Lots of fun to be had and my kids are already asking when we can go back.

For decades central park has provided my entire family a place for family reunions. Also we travel as far as from Florida to see the Christmas lights. Ive been coming here for over 40 years.

Its great to go sit by the pond and feed the fish bread. They come up to the surface and some are small and some are huge! Lots of people go through walking or riding their bikes. They have a public restroom and they are well attended. They also have a ballpark for kids.

Dissapointing park. Dont get me wrong there are tons of playgrounds and lots of nature which is lovely, but the entire thing just isnt made for people to actually use. There are no dogs allowed anywhere in the park, even on leash. There are no bikes allowed in the park either, even on the wide paved path. There is only one walking path in the entire park. They managed to build a massive road right through the middle with hundreds of parking spots but obviously ran out of money before they built the paths, making for a miserable walking experience. They need to close off the through road connection in the middle so vehicles dont use it as a cut through, there are so many cars in this place it just ruins the nature.

In town for a few hours, but had read the reviews for this park and decided it would be a good place to let our 4 and 5 year old boys get rid of some energy. Great playground, lots of shade, not all sun. Decent public bathroom. Not disappointed!

Its a good sized park with plenty of playgrounds and picnic areas. The fountain is a nice place for pictures as well as just general sit and relax. They have been building/modifying the playgrounds. Theres tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, and even an area for horseshoe. Theres a gazebo stage that has small musical acts perform there regularly on the weekends and its right next to the library.

Free to public sports areas, tennis, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Can enjoy nature and wildlife, squirrels and birds are nearly everywhere inside park. Decorative fountains and small botanical garden towards the hospital side of the park, make for a peaceful place to take a break.

Its a very nice park, love walking through and taking my son. Downside injuries on faulty playground equipment, one parent sliced her hand on the climbing rope to the pirate ship the the wires were frayed with all protective tops coating off. With a little tlc things would look better. The donations and revenue funded the park playground equipment shouldnt be in disrepair.

Beautiful park. Beautiful pond with a couple fountains and huge goldfish. That was really cool to see. Lots of playground areas. A small homeless situation that may make you feel a bit uneasy to be here alone, but well worth checking out.

From Minnesota here visiting my children and grandchildren and took a side trip to Ashland central park to see the Christmas displays. Walked around the perimeter as a family about 7 pm and found the location very family friendly, beautifully decorated with the spirit of the season. Felt safe and inviting to us as visitors. All of the strangers we encountered were friends in no time! Thank you folks from the city of Ashland...

I’m always amazed at how clean this park is. It’s a park so there will be trash but considering the amount of people who visit there, it’s a nice place to visit or have lunch. My kid loves it. As a photographer I use this location pretty often but I can change this up and each client can have a unique experience because the location has several spots to choose from.
