It is a nice park, usually not too crowded,but floods easily. Today was one of those days, and the playground base was mostly under and inch or more of water.

Good place to take a walk. Jackson Creek is so beautiful. But I could not find a restroom in the park.

This park is so cute. Two full tennis courts, on half self-serve court ( you play by yourself against a wall ), creek with a cute bridge and access to creek, playground for kids thats pretty new and nice as of now (08/17/20) and lastly a very nicely paved path. This path is the bees knees. Its smooth and walks along a native growth area that has a lot of birds flowers and even deer.

Folks Seemed To Be Maintaining Proper Spacing Amongst Each Other. Also Kids Are Sharing Turns On The Playground Equipment. Nice Area To Enjoy Outdoors In The Fresh Air!

My kids really enjoy this park. There are several places for parents to sit and watch. Unfortunately, when it rains, this park seems to flood fairly easily. Since I have boys, they don’t mind muddy puddles. So, I just go prepared with towels! There’s a nice trail there that goes over a little creek. You can go down to the creek and skip rocks, etc.

We love walking to this park and the adjoining Olcott Park. There are lots of walking and biking opportunities, Jackson Creek, a small playground, tennis courts, a basketball court and a picnic shelter that is non-reservable. No bathrooms here; the closest are up at Olcott.

This park is nestled in behind a mature residential neighborhood. It has plenty of space for activities and excellent access to a trail that runs between multiple parks in the area. Its very nice.

Swings, slide, monkey bars, etc. The Jackson Creek Trail runs directly through this park (which I use on a regular basis). The Bloomington Parks and Recreation does an excellent job keeping this park and trail maintained.

Review №35

One of the best parks to take your kids to in Bloomington! There are play structures, swings, large grassy field with wild flowers/butterfly garden on the border, Jackson Creek to play in within a short walk, and Olcott Park a bit up the trail.
