McHose has something for everyone! Set along the wooded banks of Honey Creek there are plenty of places to picnic, disc golf, swim, play, or simply admire nature. Plus this hidden gem of a sledding hill. Its worth your time any season of the year. Come to eat your lunch or come to spend all day.

It was a beautiful day to be at the park attending a graduation party at the boy scout cabin. Only thing was the park needs to clean up the cabin. I think if your going to rent the cabin at least they could do is clean it up and wash the windows, take down the cobwebs. And the wasp need to be done away with too.

We went to Rineharts drive through Farmers markets, then went to the park to have a breakfast picnic with our daughter. The park, food, and weather was awesome!!!

Played disc golf course. After the third hole, it was nearly impossible to find the course. We ended up skipping some holes. Map was inaccurate and some trails were unserviced in years likely.

Its a great place for the whole family. Picnic areas, tennis courts, baseball field, and three different play grounds. One in particular designed for small children which is great. Lots of great places to walk and explore in the woods. Also the Boone pool is located here which we frequent often in the summer.

Disc golf is confusing for layout and can be very dangerous for young kids. Sorta made our own course. Be sure to watch for poisin ivy. Severe drop offs near baskets may contribute to lost discs. A few course adjustments be nice. Can be challenging without being hazardous. Large area. Nice trees. Watch out little kids...there seems be no speed limit in the park. Speed bumps are needed.

President Teddy Roosevelt is the Granite Statue as you enter park. President Roosevelts Administration was about creating and preserving U.S. of A Nature Park System throughout the 50 States. First Lady Mamie Eisenhower was born in Boone. Boone is fascinating with rich historical value preserved for generations to come,

The environment created by the historical building is superb. The food can hardly be beaten within the confines of Ames, IA. The staff is pleasant and helpful when guiding you through the enormous menu. Also the best place to get an ice cream sundae in the tri-state area.

This is one of the finest, scratch that, the finest, city parks I have ever been to in my life. There is so much area available for hiking, biking, and different playground equipment. There is also the Boone Municipal Pool, adjacent ice skating and equestrian areas.If you are ever in or near Boone, this is definitely one of the most important places to visit if you enjoy the outdoors or just want a relaxing place to have a family picnic.

One of the best places in Boone County to spend time outside. Great Frolf course, Nice fenced in skate park. Never once found used needles or trash laying around because the local community cares enough to pick it up for guests and residents. I love Mchose
