Great park, clean, and well maintained! My kids loved the variety of things to play on at the playground and it was beautiful walking the path around the park!

We only stopped to participate in a Pokemon Go! raid there. Genesect, was featuring in a five head raid and sixteen Trainers joined. Its also a good park to walk a bit ( short paths), people walk their dogs and sit and talk or bring food to eat. Lots of takeouts nearby! Plenty of photostops and Community Days are usually well received.

It was so quiet and peaceful even though it is located within the city center of Ephrata. There is a wonderful paved walking trail that goes right by the creek. I also love the fact that it has tennis courts because that is something that is hard to find anymore. Its a great place for families or when you want some private time to think and reconnect with nature.

Its got two age group appropriate playgrounds there. We had our 3.5yr old there with other various aged kids there. Theres a river that runs along the back perimeter of the park. Not much to see in that part. A bunch of grassy and somewhat shady areas for kids to run around in. Feel safe. A definite hit/miss on whether theres other kids to mingle with your child. Mostly groups of kids with parents stop by. I recommend this park since theres usually something you can do with younger kids.

Not a bad park, I rate by how much fun the kiddos have. The general scene is a bit dated (light posts, deteriorated wood deck, poor drainage of grounds), but overall a wide open space good for taking a walk or playing with dogs. The equipment is fun and keeps kids entertained and exercised.

I go here often to hunt for Pokemon. Ive met some really nice people that way! The park is always well maintained. Some graffiti under the bridge, but nothing offensive. The most prominent piece is anti-war and calling for unity. Worth walking from Akron to here.

Kids had a blast!! Theres plenty of things for the kids to play on. Theres a intermediate playground for ages 1 to about 5 . Then a more advance playground for ages 6 up. Theres swings for babys and older kids/adults. Also a rock climbing wall. Theres even a little dock to look over the water. This park also has a trail to walk on.

Much improved. Safer and more family-friendly. Could use more/better water fountains for the size of the park.

Our familys favorite Independence Day activity! No better place to spend the evening. Food for purchase, music, barrel train rides and bounce castles, followed by an outstanding fireworks display and its free! {arking in the parking lot at the church is by donation. You can take your own food, and have a picnic! I look forward to this every year!

The park is limited in space to just relax, paved trails ruin the beauty of the natural surroundings, and its to crowded to enjoy a conversation or walk a dog.
