Its a very nice place to give a chance for individuals that dont have any place out in the country to walk or set in the car and enjoy a little nature. Also during daylight it is a nice place for a first meet. Relaxing atmosphere.

We had a great time feeding the geese and ducks some of the geese where nipping at your fingers

Mostly pleasant. Decent enough body of water for the Midwest. Lot of bird droppings. Other patrons make or break the experience. Needs posted signage regarding noise from parties/gatherings. Trail has sections in dire need of upkeep. Dock needs lots of attention. You know what, scratch that. Mostly unpleasant, but unfortunately the best dog-friendly park in town.

I hope the playground, the basketball and tennis courts, the swimming pool, and the shelter house that was tore down are going to be replaced. All of these were used by many many people, adults and children. For them to be taken away and not be replaced is inexcusable, probably criminal. I bet what is now being built will cost more to get in than the local neighborhood families can afford. Unbelievable.

I would just love to give a shout out to my family. At senior world apartments. Rest in peace James Shanks.

Nice little walking path. Could use a little clean up. I will definitely be going back.

This park is a perfect get together place.. walking tour dog or a picnic!

I wanna love this park like I did as a child. But unfortunately it seems the state doesnt seem to care about it. They removed the newer park equipment to put the new pool in.. which is find but couldnt they have used that play equipment to replace the broken one on the other side of the park. Its dangerous jagged edges broken slides missing poles and safety shield.

Beautiful woth lots to do!! Especially in the fall with all the pretty leaves.

I have not been there in years ,I will be there this weekend I grew up in that park, I learned how to fish in that lake,I got attacked by ducks and geese for the first time in my life, I had my first kiss in that parkGreat park I even learned how to swim at the swimming pool that’s what happens when you live directly across the street from the park for 13 years

Beautiful park. Great place to feed the ducks and geese.

Realy nice Christmas light display. Need to check out.

Totally relaxing until my kid fell in the lake ... but it was still a fun trip

Good fishing and a good place to walk around.

Beautiful park and well maintained.

My all time favorite place to go

Great place to gather up or just relax. Not far from downtown Evansville either.

Beautiful park and its close to VHS....a place I love to visit!

Beautiful day to sip some coffee outside ,enjoy the moment, and life is good!

The playground equipment is subpar and in the huge park only one porta potty. Great place to fish or feed geese but thats it

Under construction... But will be worth a stop if near its the home of the evansville otters minor league baseball team and also where a famous filming took place that starred a vary young and vary beautiful Madonna... Do yu know which film??

Beautiful park and quiet with ducks and geese! Plenty of trash cans as well.

Nice family friendly park! From the local running races to otters baseball to the Christmas light display its a wonderful place to spend some family time

This is a great place to fish the fish may not always be big but at least we catch fish and they keep up with their park and the geese are awesome

Parked here and biked down to the tiki bar on the ohio river.

Beautiful place for a walk, and easy access to the Greenway.

It was nice, beautiful scenery. We will go back.

Nice to have a walk in the park but there were things missing like water fountains all throughout the park, the lake was a brown green murky water color it would be really nice to see the lake look like the lake behind the cracker barrel on Lloyd expressway,

One of Evansville Beautiful parks with a big lake that they stock with fish

This is a great park. I grew up playing here. Fishing here. Playing baseball here. Just being here. It is kind of a rough neighborhood though

I love to fish And its a beautiful place

Wish I could have made it Jadens baby shower.

Nice park. Clean and well taken care of. Nice lake for fishing. Many benches, picnic tables, and places to sit and relax.

I love the ducks and the place u walk use to go every day in summer time wasnt afraid the last time I went a man in a red suv was in the park follow me all way down first ave

Garvin Park is a really nice park. One thing though: The geese that live there, live there all year round because they dont fly south. Go figure. There are really too many to deal with. But other than that its a nice park.

Great place to take my dog for a walk. He loves it

The lake is very over grown and a lot of trash in the lake the grass is well kept as trees are but the lake Ive seen looking better still a large amount of dead leaf along the lake it could look better

Nice place to get out and enjoy the outdoors

Great and big.

Was a great day for a walk. Had about 25 or more walkers today. Good friends and New ones too.

Quiet place to sit and relax

I truly think Garvin Park is a local treasure in Evansville. I personally go this time of year to eat persimmons from the tall persimmon trees. I enjoy watching the ducks and geese in the lake and the squirrels in the trees. The music festivals offered periodically at Garvin Park are always well-attended and a lot of fun.

I love to go & visit the goddess of Nature & her animals. It brings me such peace

Have gone there since small child. Love the squirrels playing & the ducks in the lake. The beautiful trees. Great place to chill.

Great family activity time to come to the park. Dog walk, children play on the playground picnic tables. Family fun.

Been coming here since I was a kid love this place, great place for a family outing, All kinds of events during the summer in when its warm out. I know in the picture doesnt seem like much but there is playgrounds a lake a gazebo swimming pool basketball courts you name it, if youre looking to go to a park in Evansville this is the part to go to for a peaceful afternoon

Came here to to meet a date. Got stood up so whatever. They had all the Christmas lights up so I walked around and enjoyed them by myself they were amazing. Thanks for standing me up Ming.

Just a beautiful place. If you like ducks thats your place to go see them!

One complaint about Garvin Park is the shortage of bathroom facilities. Great place for a picnic, feeding ducks and geese, and fishing.

Enjoy Garvin Park.... clean and family friendly

Great shade, fishing and room to walk

Hubby caught a 20 pound cat ..posted pics under photos. Click on latest and u will see the 20 pounder

Its a nice place to take my kids and let them play but it is even more fun during events like free fishing days or music festivals.

Beautiful. I barely saw any litter and the grass was freshly mowed. Great day with the kids

Very nice,lovely views.

Its a nice park. The fantasy of lights at Christmas time is pretty cool too.

There is a play structure for kiddos, swings, and picnic tables for snack time as well. It worked for me to get some fresh air for the kiddos.

Its peaceful

Nice place

This park is great for walking or having a picnic. It usually isnt too crowded.

This beautiful park is a great place to take kids to walk and play

I love the Ritzy Fantasy of Lights every year here! Family Christmas tradition!

Love walking and running on the Greenway .

Its a nice quiet Oasis in the middle of a fast moving city. There are paths for nice exercising walks, and a pond drawing in wildlife..... pleasing to watch. There is even a bike path and a playground for the kiddos. I think u can rent pavilions for parties in the park. HAVE FUN!!!!!

The fish were biting pretty good today but the current was too fast near the creek . I would definitely suggest anyone to go fishing there. Its quiet and quite peaceful and there are a lot of big fish in the pond

We went for the Fantasy of Lights. Did the carriage ride. It was great!

I no longer visit this display. There is not one scene showing the real meaning of the season. I respect what they are collecting money for, however, they should respect the true meaning of Christmas. There are plenty of charities to support that do.

Ive always loved this place but its even more beautiful than ever

Nice place to take a walk

Out with the family enjoying the day

We love to go to park, since its just down the street from us. But when grounds people come to cut the grass they should weed eat the whole park. Including around the lake.Go down street a little more to Jacobville Park, and its neatly cut and weed eat. So whats wrong with this picture??

Ive been riding my new bike and at least 2 or 3 times a week. Love that you can ride around the lake and enjoying the weather and the fact you have a great time and relax thank you.

My bf and I went there today with 15 pounds of corn. We had a blast hand-feeding some of the big geese!! It was the first time I wasnt too scared to do it.Beautiful park!!

Always peaceful and relaxing to sit by the lake. Or eat lunch in your vehicle and admire the nature around you. Been going here for years.

I heard everyone to go see the Christmas lights and display and make a donation its well worth it.

It was nice and clean

Liked the lights during Christmas sometimes go there to feed the ducks and geese.

We absolutely live this park! Great play areas for the kids. The grounds are kept relatively clean, and everyone we have interacted with at the park have always been so nice.

Fantasy of Lights carriage rides are so much fun for children of all ages.

Great for lights for Christmas time for the kids

We took our granddaughter to all the Christmas lights.she is 2 yrs old.she loved it.

Great time good music big crowd lots of food trucks to choose from.

Nice place to stop and eat lunch or read a book.

Got to spend time with my son and enjoy life,music,family and fun

Looks like it was a nice park, once upon a time. Homeless people here and there. Even in the bushes. Shady people sitting around scoping out there next victim. I went into the restroom. Nasty. Syringes and empty alcohol bottles all over the floor. Came out of the restroom and a guy was waiting on me. Wanting change and cigarettes. A shady character just came out of the bushes by the lake. Not a safe park for anyone. Especially women and children. And especially not after dark. I would not sit foot in this park after dark for no amount of money. They need to get some good full time security people. Upgrade security measures. And lock this place down.

Parkfest 2019! So awesome. It was a fun time with the kids

Nice park for a run.

Nice day ?

Awesome place for family get together

Great walking trails

Amazing for my kids when they were both younger !!

Enjoyed the ducks and geese that call the parks pond home. Trees are especially pretty in the fall.

Went to the music fest they hosted. It was beautiful weather, great music, lots of food choices and the staff and volunteers of the fest were doing a great job.

Its a park. Good place to take some food to, and eat, or to just hang out.

Beautiful Park, Beautiful Day

Would of been fine, no bathrooms along Greenway.

Building trades are doing an awesome job . Fantasy of lights is a must see !!

A great place to get a good long walk in and you can go fishing in the ponds. Quite and the people that go there are nice and friendly

Love Garvin park. Played there as a child. My children play there. Its great

Garvin Park is always great, year round. When its warm out, a picnic by the lake is a great way to spend you lunch break, and when winter comes around, the Fantasy of Lights is perfect for a family or a date night! Also, though the pool is small, its usually pretty quiet and fun to be at.
