Its a nice little park set on the hill, its a gated park. During the Christmas season they have a very nice light show that they set up.

Yearly holiday lights are up. It’s $10 to drive through the park and it’s for a good cause. My girlfriend Nicole and I volunteered to work the gate and we had a blast.

Most awesome Christmas display. A real money maker for sure at $10 a car, but worth every cent.

Seeing my 3 year olds eyes light up when driving through to see all of the different light displays was worth every penny & the staff were so kind.

We were there for Reflections in the Park. It was amazing! We took our 3 toddlers and they loved it!! Only $10 per car is very affordable.

Great time this year at reflections in the park! Much better displays than some ive seen in previous years. Also dont forget to go see the neighbors on the other side of the highway located on Tressa st.

Lots of parking. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets and warm water and soap sinks and paper towels. Big playground. Drinking fountains and trash cans all around. Big shelters. Close to Mines of Spain so you can spend the whole day outdoors, hiking and enjoying nature. Drive one way around the park, counterclockwise.

This is a very nicely maintained softball complex. There are restrooms and a conservation stand that has a large selection of food. Liked the sign on diamond 4. If there is a negative the location near a treatment plant can be a little unpleasant if the wind is from the wrong direction.

As any traveler with kids knows, at some point, kids get tired of being in a car and need to get out and play. This is a place to do that. Picnic tables are plentiful and places to play are available for those necessary stop and romp times of which it was necessary to do. Right off Route 20 and close to downtown and near a local Hy-Vee grocery store makes this a perfect, shady spot off the beaten path.

Its nice, a good place to park before a run. Has nice light shows for Christmas. Covered areas for picnics. And bathrooms with running water. Just not a place for hiking, etc

Only went to first pavilion in the park, but It was lovely, clean, shady, had a nice breeze on a very hot day. The architecture was very impressive. Easy access using a walker.

We have some wonderful parks where Im from, so I may be spoiled, but this park was just okay. We stopped for a picnic and to stretch our legs. The equipment was safe, albeit a tad boring. Not a bad quick stop, but I wouldnt go out of my way for it.

I was only at the first Pavilion. Biggest issue was my navigation send me to Murphy Ave, not the park.Nice, clean, brick pen and semi open Pavilion ( more protection in case of bad weather). Saw play area but didnt go over there. This location is used regularly by a several groups I am involved with. Not quite enough parking adjacent for a large turn out, but more nearby. It is handicap accessible!
