Nice city park. Paved trail circles a small fishing pond, well, I assume fishing because of the nice fishing dock. But I can find no information on who or what is stocked there.

It was rather late and I had just scored. I needed a place to go and relax without being harassed by the cops while I got high. I dont go north of the river that often and Im not familiar with the area. So I Googled wheres the nearest park and this park came up. So there I went...navigating my way into the parks grounds. I noticed that the park was surrounded by houses, I thought was much too close to be next to a park which would have been disconcerting if it hadnt been so late in the middle of a dark and almost dismal night... where the rain threatened to Splatter my windshield and send me back home across the river as soon as I had done what I had come here to do.There was an Magnificent full moon. It was so high in the sky but it hung low, reminding me of a Bad Moon Rising. The type of vibe to it was reckless. I felt like throwing my clothes off and going into a goddess ritual. It was beautiful that night, though it was not too cold; for the breeze that blew my hair all over the place also rustled through the trees. It was very silent almost eerily so except for the winds shifting trajectory of low howls. And dark, so dark I could barely see what i was doing in my inexpensive 2003 Saturn Ion. I had to turn my top light on so I wouldnt make any mistakes. I was there to do what I was doing and I did it discreetly, quietly and to no knowledge of anybody else. Because thats how I roll discretion is my middle name after all. And then I noticed the big pond and it had a fountain in it but it was so dark; I really couldnt see the fountain but it had been a full moon that night and it looks beautiful cast off in the reflection of the water and I could see that there was a little path that traveled the perimeter and curvature of the quite Little Pond... (mallard ducks were the only thing lacking to make this picture perfect.) There was an playground which I took pictures of... hearing the faint childish giggles from the echo of the past. I do not know if they had public restrooms, i would assume that they did or not. For I dare not venture into the darkness of what lay ahead of me... The darkness has an uncanny way of lingering beyond its welcome to dispel the unknown fear like a mist of fog, lifting and suddenly gone. Because I tarried and swooned. Some young man caught me in his arms are you okay lady he asked me? I was quite surprised to say the least but I wasnt scared, I said yes sir thank you, Im okay and thank you for helping me up... And my car battery had died I had some cables and he gave me a jump start if he hadnt been there to help me I would have been stuck? Who he was... that was a mystery? He appeared out of the fog and mist from Beyond where the path disappeared into the darkness of thick fog that seem to hang low was where I guess. He had gone for a walk to clear his head or so he had told me later out of the blue. I would have been stuck there if it wasnt for the help of this mysterious, kind, and loving gentleman who appeared out of the fog coming from the lake.

Ive lived here my whole life and remember when this park used to be the hamaliton heights community center, with its own pool, I liked that a lot better

Review №13

Nice, clean,peaceful environment. Not too big and not too small. Was a decent trail for walking and jogging and few hills to add a challenge. Has a paviollion for eating that lights up at night, playground, and basketball court.

Its usually not busy here. Having the play area, and the pond to walk around is nice. The equipment is definitely dated, and it could stand to be cleaner, but nice little spot nonetheless.

The park itself is ok. But sometimes have to deal with peoples barking dogs right up on their fence, while walking on the trail. But still a pretty chill peaceful decent park.

Been going here since I was a child. My mother used to swim here competitively before it became a park. Its quiet, tucked away style, and peaceful. The fountain in the pond is currently lit up for the rest of the year. Its an excellent place.Theres a bit of moss buildup around the edge of the water but its not too bad. Theres fish, frogs, even some turtles, and geese in the water. Theres a little bridge at the other side of the pond that leads to a cute little tucked away roundabout.Unfortunately there are no public restrooms, but they do have water fountains. They also have a little picnic area.

Nice little park with a small pond to fish in. Small bluegill and small bass are aplenty. Lots of people seem to not know how to pick up after themselves though so theres trash just floating or stuck on the far bank of the pond. Seems like the city cant keep up with them.

This is and awesome place to take you kids to play, hike, fish, and grill some burgers/hot dogs (if you bring your own grill). The downside is the amount of geese poop, and the bugs that bite when it gets late.

Cute little park. For PoGo players, theres a gym and pokestop in reach from the parking lot. WU players can reach a fortress and a greenhouse. Be aware that the park closes at sundown.

Hamilton Heights Park is everything a goose could want and more. Mother Goose loves to take our goslings out to swim in the pond, and there is enough tasty grass here to feed a large gaggle, making it perfect for parties. The humans dont bother us at all and we play games together like Angry Birds and Duck Duck Goose. When I fly back to Canada I will recommend this park to all my friends.Mr. Goose

While the splendid days of the private swimming and racket club are gone, what remains is a pastoral oasis in the midst of a quiet neighborhood good for a pickup game of basketball or a lakeside stroll with or without ones dogs.

Very pretty place. The trail around the lake is halfway in sunshine and other half you feel like you are walking in the shade (trees all around nack half). Very peaceful.

This is an awesome little park. Walking trail and fountain pond add to the experience. Many come from other communities to walk their dogs at this park. On the weekends in the spring and summer, families gather for picnics and a little basketball on the provided court. Beautiful setting.

A decent place to take a walk but the playground isnt all that nice and there are geese and geese feces all over the trail. I wouldnt go there if it wasnt so close to my house.

Pleasant Park with jungle gym, basketball court, lake & dock, but excess geese at the lake leave unpleasant reminders (poop) all around. The geese not to be controlled better.
