Cozy and pretty with nice views, restaurant access, and parking. Only downside is all of the homeless camping out at the fish cleaning station
Decent park for walking along the river. A couple of work out stations along the path. Lots of picnicking groups. Might be nice for some additional kids play equipment.
The open areas and the landscaping is very nice, but there was a half-dressed woman making out with a man underneath one of the trees while I ate near the river.
Neat place in the middle of town. Went fishing there. Was ok.
Nice place to go to see a whole lot of fish an just take a nice walk
I like it there a lot, fishing is nice. Id give five stars if it wasnt for the plethora of peoples discarded fishing line everywhere. I normally Id pick discarded line but I cant take care of all that. :(
Its pretty clean for the most part but somedays people show up and get rowdy, but its not necessarily the parks fault
This is always a great space to visit. The river is powerful, lawn is great, and its a great walk along the river!! Also, fun lookout spots to stop and see the river too!!
Why 2 stars, let me tell you this place is really nice, great view, open areas, and many seating areas but is full of hobos, trash, spider webs and people smoking. Hopefully the city would do something to save this park.
Nice peaceful place to have a picnic. Love being able to sit by the water and relax.
Went night fishing with family, met some great people and caught a few fish. It was a great night.
Great park. Nice view of the river.
First time walking over bridge. Loved looking at the locks with names and dates of couples.
Very nice and photogenic park by the river
Super chill park to be at. Whenever am in GR I come here to just relax
Beautiful park and views of the river.
Social distancing at its finest! A+
The park here is gorgeous - very clean and well kept. It is great for running or walking, or having a bite to eat alongside the river. The sixth street bridge is iconic and provides a lot of character to the whole area. You can fish here as well! The location is ideal, with plenty of options for food/drink/alcohol within walking distance. Take your date down here, order carry out from somewhere nearby, and walk down to the park to eat. Go for a walk along the river afterwards and you guys will be married in no time.
Beautiful park with lots to do.
A nice place to chill out. Dam overlook is connected with Trail. Flowing water will enlighten your mood. Trail is covered by beautiful trees. If you are nearby do visit this place.
Nice area to be with friends.
Kinda creepy at night but it was cool that they had two adult sized ellipticals disguised as playground equipment. Im not a fan of parking meters at city parks, forcing you to pay to use a place that your taxes pay for you to have access to.
I was there checking the rivers
3 stars for being a bridge. Would get the other 2 if it was wider.
Very good park
I love to go and look at the water and the lights on the bridge at night
Beautiful park! Love to take our kids here to see the enormous fish! Definitely worth visiting!
Quite and nice park
Went here for Movies of Monroe. They had Beetlejuice and Bohemian Rhapsody playing. Movie didnt play until 7:30. It was very hot to wait for 1.5 hours for movie to start. Luckily there were some events to keep us entertained and busy until the movie. Good food truck selection. They had a Beetlejuice actor running around. He was highly entertaining and funny to watch.
Solid piece of grand rapids history
Lots of diversity. Fun in the sun. Lots of options if you like to sit or play. Take a walk or run. Youll have fun.
I love crossing the sixth st bridge and walking the park. They added workout stations and theyre disabled inclusive. I do wish more care was taken for the river.
Nice lawn, nice little park, there is foot access to the water. Beware you must pay for parking, or metered parking.
Nice place to relax....until you have to feed the meter. Id give it 5 stars of there were no meters.
Great place to fish or just to take your girl to sight see and a walk
Nice lunch spot. Could use more tables. Good view of the river.
Amazing looks very nice. My fiance was working there for a little bit putting in the new improvements turn out great.
We stopped here while in town to see the fish ladder. It was a nice little area with a lot of people fishing and some playing music. We stayed around to enjoy the scenery and watch the fish come in.
Clean and quiet place to walk or people watch. We really enjoy walking later in the evenings.
Nice and peaceful. Played a little on the exercise equipment. Just enjoyed myself
Lovely park, great to walk next to the river or sit and eat lunch.
Run long walk and exersize
I love it here
This place is a definite must see! You can fish the river, and they have a fish cleaning station as well as bathrooms. Ive been visiting this place for, well, every since I was a kid and Ive been bringing my kids for twenty years and counting. In all my visits only had one that was not great. There was a young couple smoking pot there while I was pinicing with my kids. I dont want my kids smelling that stuff, but they left quickly after I moved the kids to the ladder.Big must of you want to drive the fish wild! Bring some fish friendly snacks toss them in at the ladder and just watch em go nuts! Ive seen them eat bread, cheese puffs/balls, chips, but pet stores do have fish pellets that float.
The park is in great shape with the fisherman bountiful. No bathrooms out of season.
Clean and peaceful
Kool place
So quite and peaceful had a great walk and talk with my boyfriend ️
Friendly atmosphere
Beautiful view
Very clean and pleasant area in beautiful downtown Grand Rapids! Lots of areas to sit and enjoy the view of the river and buildings. Kid and dog friendly. Sculptures throughout and the sound of the river make it a very relaxing visit!
Nice park great view also they are getting exercise equipment there as well.
Beautiful views and apparently you can rent the bridge for private events!
I love to come and get a piece of mind while listening to the waterfall. I come here at least twice a week.
Nice little park but has small parking lot with meters.
They have cleaned the place up a bit since ive been living on the west side. Like how their doing movies in the park there now. Well, on the one end. Just noticed they started making people pay to park in that lot by 6th street bridge. Not really sure what thats all about other than the city being greedy.
They have really done a great job of cleaning up around the whole area
Amazing view of city
I enjoy the Quiet and beautiful views on Grand Rapids..Very nice place to go and fish or Relax.
Has gotten extremely better over the years, theyve even added exercise equipment that is free of use to the public. The location is pretty great too.
Too cold to really enjoy it right now. People walking dogs and jogging by so I dont feel unsafe. Just dont mind the graffiti.
A great place to have lunch with a view.
Great clean park. Nice place to walk
Fun place for fishing or stopping to play
Park has become over run with people that have no common sense. The parking has went away due to some garbageParty in the Park type thing. Now you have to park to the adjacent parking lot that is used by some for a home and a landfill. Be careful..
Fun little park to take a walk near the water.
Quiet area
Pretty clean. Need a few more garbage cans. Very well maintained and people were friendly.
Nice and clean
Beautiful view a great place 2 run too.
Nice walk by the lake small kids play area and pavillion.
Always a fun time fishin there.
Nice park. Great walkways and close to the sixth street bridge
Great park to walk around and enjoy the river, close to downtown
Nice and clean
Cant wait for the White Water Kayaking Park to open here. !!!!
Great location for Movies on Monroe, very clean and open space
Amazing to hang. Out and. Walk
Good
Beware of loosers that slash your tires. No cameras in the parking lots to track crime.
Great spot for summer fishing
Cool place, BEWARE after dark.
Park is very clean, always something fun to do
Nice little park. I walk through here quite often. Stays pretty clean and has a nice scenic view of the area.
