Nice little park. River is slowed by boulders to make a small beach, pleasant place to sit by the river or fish (c&r only in roaring fork,band no license for me so no fishing) but it made a great spot to sit and have breakfast by the river.

One of my favorite parks to take the kids. Bathrooms, playground, and an area to play in the river or fish. And lots of shade.

This is a very family friendly park. The improvements they made along the river a few years ago now makes the river very accessible. The bathrooms are modern and usually clean, but not always. The horseshoe pits could use an update. I think some more of the grassy area to the south can be better utilized.

Fun park with lots of slides and playground equipment for the kids. Also has horseshoe pits and picnic shelters. Very shady in the summer evenings. Very close to a fast river, though, without much fencing.

We stopped for a picnic lunch on our drive between Black Canyon National Park and Boulder, and we found great picnic tables under a shelter near the river. The area was spotless, and the bathrooms were clean and fresh. Of course they had great water bottle refilling fountains (it is Colorado after all). The families enjoying the playground and dog walkers entertained us while we ate, and we strolled along the river after lunch and watched a few fishermen testing their fly casting skills. It was a perfect place to relax.

Beautiful park that is right on the Roaring Fork river. Good access to the river for fishing and getting your feet wet. Pets must be leashed. Up to date playground for the kids and nice shade and tables for a picnic. A walking trail follows the river and hooks up with a larger bike path on the opposite side of the river and gaining you access to downtown Glenwood Springs that is close by.

Ive been coming here since I was a wee pup! This is by far my favorite park! There is a place for horseshoes (byo horseshoes), playground, picnic area, bike path, river access, old historical jail, tall trees, beautiful views, and family oriented! Men and women bathrooms and water fountain available. Great place to entertain the whole family!

This is a great place to host an event. Reservations are a must, but definitely well worth it. There are picnic tables all throughout the park. Tons of activities for young and old. Theres an area to get into the water and cool off. You can fish, play horseshoes, let the kids play at the playground. Its also a great place to allow the kids to just run around or take a walk.
