My granddaughter and I love this place. We walk check out the creek, find a few sea shells. Sometimes we would take food and set on a bench and eat.

A beautiful Japanese garden. Its not kept up quite as well these days, but is still gorgeous and worth a stop and walk around.

Really nice park, what we saw wasnt really big so it was perfect for a quick walk and play with the kids. Very pretty.

It wasnt that I dislike the place. It just needed to have more to look at (flowers) and the pond was over ran with moss The trails was good. Overall its a ok place to visit

It was nice and serene, and well taken care of. From a photographic point of view though, there just wasnt enough to take pictures of, to warrant my trip there. If I lived locally it might be a different story.

Its a nice Japanese park with allot of potential, but the fountains and walking paths have poor upkeep

Very very beautiful place!! Absolutely loved the short walk to everything and theres a place with a bunch of sea shells. Definitely worth stopping by. Im betting its even more beautiful when everything is bloomed.

Didnt hate, the upkeep isnt what it use to be. Its hard to enjoy due to the smell coming from the water as well.

Beautiful and tranquil park even being as close to a main road. The pond however was covered in green moss and there was an odor near the small waterfalls.

Beautiful tranquil place to visit.

Review №21

A relaxing little place for a restful walk. The park could use some upkeep, as others have noted, and there are no noticable koi in the pond that is over run with algae. Its also very near the road, so be prepared to hear traffic noises and see cars zooming by. All that said, though, the paths and space are nice. Unexpected find in Georgetown and worth a short visit with appropriate expectations!

I drive through the area every few months and always stop here. Each season brings something new to see. It is a beautiful and tranquil spot to visit by yourself or for the family.

Review №35

It is an absolute beautiful park with Japanese architecture, art, flora, koi, and the wonderful smell of a waste water treatment plant. Why Georgetown decided to build this beautiful park here is beyond me. Every time I take my son to walk around we always have to modify our breathing. I would suggest going on a day thats cooler and not windy, so you can fully enjoy everything it has to offer.

A lovely little park next to Elkhorn Creek. Peaceful surroundings & gravel path. Cool Japanese style & function.

Review №37

Huge disappointment. Drive for 30 minutes to get there and there was absolutely nothing to see. No koi fish and the building was empty and looked like it lacked decor. The grounds were not manicured and not pleasant to look at. Not a Zen place to visit.

Review №43

I thought this was going to be a nice place. I was certainly wrong It could be beautiful but was so very run down. The so called Koi pond was completely covered in green algae.What was really shocking was all the homeless people there. They just moved in.There was no nice flowers. This place was really a disappointment.

Review №47

Very pretty piece of property and could be a pretty visit if there was more upkeep. The grass was cut and the basics were done, but the flowers were nonexistent and the place looked deserted. There was a nice little trail to stroll on. There just needs to be better maintenance. Then again, it is a public, free park.

I would really like to like this place but it is so run down I just cant recommend it. The Koi pond is a disaster. The place just needs a whole lot of TLC. It could be a pleasant place to visit. Too bad.

Review №53

This park is beautiful, especially in the Spring with red buds, dog wood and other flowers in full bloom. With all the water and rocks, it is a very relaxing place. The only negative is the parking area with pot holes. The city should repair it.

Wounder beautiful peaceful place. Its calm and Georgetowns kind of secret place. Its full of a tranquil feeling. Not really any where to get out of the rain, but still a great place to visit. Will be back when its not raining

Drove 32 miles to c. Just not much there. A pond n a small bridge. A place to c the river and gravel paths to walk on. A small man made water fall fed by pumped water. If ur close by go c it.

Sandwiched between the very busy Highway 25 and a water treatment plant, this place is very noisy! Not sure why anyone would have chosen this location. Also its not on the Elkhorn, the Elkhorn is across the road. Other than that the place could be nice if the trash was cleaned up.

Very small garden but it is beautiful and has a very quiet meditative aura. Bring a book, or sit by the pond and meditate while surrounded by the beauty of Asia.

Very pretty! I had a wonderful time here with my two year old. She loved seeing the water and exploring the various buildings. The only thing I disliked was the occasional smell of sewage that wafted through the air. Otherwise it was a very pleasant experience, and well be sure to visit again!
