Love love love this park. Its one of my personal favorites. Many people come here; including ones I used to see at story time. Its great for the kids I babysit to make new friends or catch up with old ones.

This park is pretty close to OSU and its kept up very nicely. Lots of cool things for kids and benches to sit and people watch!

The sand is super soft. The climbing ropes and slides were a bit old for my 2 year old to do alone, but with help she had fun. I cant wait for her to get a little older to enjoy it more on her own.

The Central Park has been a go to stop for us with our toddler. Lots of thing to play for a lil one. That is the reason that this place draws a lot of kids and is busy with people in the evening. Sometimes scare us to go during COVID-19 times as it’s not very much possible to be socially distant from people for the lil one more than us.Kids love this place.

The new play structure is great.

A nice park especially during concert season

Brand new play structure is really nice finally a nice spot to take your kid downtown

Had a great time here at the Harvest Festival. The food was good, the people were great and there were more booths then I can count. My personal favorite was the hand made soap one, Elizabeth Stewart Soaps. She had more kinds and scents then I could imagine and all of them at a great price.Found this doll in one of the many booths there.

I loved it.. green every where.. comfortable benches.. clean and quite park..playground for kids..in front of public library.

Parents beware. This is a busy hangout for the homeless community. Ive seen many unsafe situations I was uncomfortable with even without a child present.

I don’t view homeless people as a problem. I won’t get into the social aspects here etc. but it is an issue here with them approaching you and just being rowdy in general. However, they usually just keep to themselves.The good parts?The city of Corvallis does a great job of keeping the park clean and safe. It’s next to the library and the Arts Center. It’s a place where kids can play and feel safe. We go here to meditate sometimes before we go into the library.All things considered it’s a great park.

One of my favorite in town walks. Events are held here, plenty of lovely plants, a porta potty available. Library and downtown are very nearby, public transit hub is one block away.

Corvallis Orchestra plays on Tuesdays in the summertime at 8pm and its free. Very nice play area for kids. A few homeless but not bad.

There was a fair amount of homeless people chilling in lawn chairs, but they kept to themselves. Would eat lunch there again.

Beautiful Park and I went there for a swing brass band concert on last Wednesday they were peaceful and enjoyable to listen to. But at times this place can be a little dketchy but with friends it is a peaceful stroll and a good way to get to Downtown Corvallis, OR.

This park is beautiful. The playground is clean and well kept. There is plenty of shade.Also for Pokemon go fans: its a good spot.

Overall this is a nice park with a decent playground. There are a lot of Pokemon stops and gyms in there area. A lot of homeless people hangout on the library side of the park and sometimes in the gazebo.

The somewhat quiet Park its right across the street from the library theres a kids play area

Have loved this park since I was a kid and I love taking the kids I work with here. The only reason I ding it one star is because of the homeless population roaming about and the lack of a really good slide. Great for mostly all ages above 2.

Nice park near the campus, no dogs is BS but nice nonetheless

No reason to take your kids here. The bums pretty much have taken over. Cant sit on the benches or use the open areas because people are sleeping there. Second hand smoke covers the playground area.

Beautiful space, with beautiful, historic buildings across the street. We enjoyed the flowers, bushes and walking paths. Several young children and preschool groups were having a blast playing on the grass together in the fresh air and sunshine.

Nice park, beautiful flowers, right downtown. Has benches, playground, a gazebo. Too many homeless, though measures have been taken to discourage them from misbehaving in the park.

My kids love it, but they show clean up the drug usage and the stuff left piled in the playground area sand, a few kids have stepped on glad and found things no kids or teenagers should ever see. I understand homelessness and not being homeless but its no excuse to leave trash and other things there.

We go there for the pokemon go ex gym but my daughter likes the swings.

Excellent space, one corner has a playground, many events use it. Oddly enough I have no conscious memory of an actual restroom for regular use, only portapotties brought in for special events... I could be wrong (as implied by not having conscious memory of...) lolIt would be a wonderful gesture towards a truce in the war against the displaced members of our society, to have restrooms around town that were open 24/7... As someone whos not homeless yet (knocks on wood) I too have discovered that I have a bladder post show (wee hrs of the morning) & had nowhere to go, with no hope of making it to an establishment open 24 hrs. Just sayin

Nice small park. Good for a lunch break or short stop.

Not as family friendly as it used to be, but i understand plans are in the works for am upgraded playground, which will help.

So fun!!

Cute little park, good for kids and they have a play area for children, picnic tables and benches. Great walk path and statues make for a fun entertaining walk. Greenbelt for throwing a frisbee, a ball or bring a towel or blanket to throw on the grass.

Nice park with decent play structure and a fun playground wagon to play on. Its right across the street from the library, a great area to spend an afternoon in. 4 stars because there was a lot of homeless people in the park...they werent bothering anybody, but it made me feel less secure with my kids there.

Visited during Fall Festival on Sunday. The rain made walking difficult. Will probably take a while for the turf to recover from the muddy mess.

Small but comfortable with lovely trees and plenty of seating.

An excellent place to bring kids; its right next to the library and the transit center.

An open place in the middle of the downtown. The play structure for kids isnt very much. they have two statues, one terrific, the other very modern and contemporary. They have a modern art museum on the south side (formerly a church) and a band shell, which they use for concerts in the summer

Decent play area, lots of local bums to socialize with

Clean, good place to walk around. Cool little paths and nooks all over the park. Statues and arts around the park were pretty cool.

One of the few snow days we have around here.

Nice cute park Sandbx, area for kids and Roses abound,, Bike paths acoss from public Library.

Miss the old gazebo

ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL PLACE QUITE ON A SUNDAY MORNING LOTS OF BIRDS SINGING

The park itself is quite nice, but unfortunately a lot of homeless and druggies tend to congregate in the park. If youre not there for an event, Id recommend going to one of the other parks in the area.

Popular place to bring our kids back in our college days.

Lawn care could be better.

The park is getting better

An excellent park espicaly during summer.

Gr resting spot

The park itself is beautiful, but every time Im there it is riddled with broken glass, garbage etc. The portable restroom on the west side of the park looked like someone was living in it.

Wonderful free music for the family.to enjoy.

A lot of homeless people like to hang out at the gazebo and benches.

Great spot for Pokémon Go!

Amazing! Went here for the Corvallis Fall Festival and I would highly recommend it!

Centrally located, quiet park.

Beautiful flowers with a pieceful enviroment.

This park is great. My son had a lot of in the sandbox and playing on the car structure. Its a good park in downtown Corvallis.

Lovely city park with open green lawn, big trees, gazebo, and small playground. Nextvti railroad tracks.

Large open space city park located in downtown Corvallis Oregon. Has kids play structure and paved walking paths along rows of roses.

A lot of sketchy homeless people, some of them are nice but others make you wanna double lock your car doors

It can be a little sketchy...need to be on the alert for drug deals and needles...otherwise ok.

COME LISTEN ON TUES. NIGHTS 7:00PM DURING THE SUMMER!

Its beautiful, scenic, and always something fun going on.

Central Park October 13Fall colors

Great open space frequent used be community and near by day cares. Art center library and church close by.

There are four Poké gyms plus another 3-4 pokéstops within range of this small park! Not for that reason alone, this is a very high-traffic area, with lots of people walking pets, riding bikes, jogging, and just hanging out. It seems like whenever Im walking by here theres always a family or two with kids playing on the jungle gym. The Corvallis Public Library is just across the street from this park, too. Poké trainers, avid readers, dog walkers, and stroller pushers will all enjoy this space!

Its a great place to play Pokemon !!

How is this

Nice shade ie

Lovely for walking, good playground for kids, free concerts in the summer… but screaming alterations between homeless people or disadvantaged youth are alarmingly frequent.

Beautiful flowers and trees!

Great park. Some local art, nice green space, playground for the kids

I used to hang out here

Lovely park across from the Library. There are free concerts held here during the summers.

This park is lovely but some improvement need to be made. The issues of homeless people panhandling nearby and open drug use should be addressed better.

Nice park lots of stuff to do

Wide space of grass used for events. Theres a play structure for children. Not much to see but the events draw decent attention, such as fairs.

Central Park is lovely tree-lined park. A variety of trees, a beautifully maintained garden, roses and Home of Corvallis Fall Festival.

Great park. Across from library. They even have a wheelchair accesable Bucks.

Spring Festival today until 4:00...dont miss it!

Nice park but good amount of transients.

Very beautiful and tranquil environment for one to enjoy a quite moment

So many different spots for people in need of many different types of activities to take the edge, slightly over crowded depending on the day and specific place you go to but when you find your place, you wont want to leave

Its a lovely, clean park!

Full of homeless and transients.

Very relaxing

Great spot to play pokemon go.

Community Band also excellent!

This park is always very dirty and unkempt.

Beautiful little park with nice festivities in the spring and summer

This park is nice and right in the center of the city.

Small, decent park. Lots of homeless hanging out, which made my family and I a little wary about staying for too long.

Good park nice view

Guy living in gazebo and it seems ok with the town

Park is ok - not the nicest of the Corvallis parks. Proximity to downtown and OSU means I wouldnt leave kids to play here unsupervised, often a lot of foot traffic.

Nice city park.

Children friendly, water fountains located thru out, jungle gym, and sandbox

Nice little park on the way to downtown

I like the summer festival for art and craft.

To many druggies and bums

Good

Cool park
