Nice peaceful park with walking track around lake. Lots of geese and mallard ducks. Also saw white domestic ducks, a beaver dam, a great egret and a big turtle basking. I think the geese are used to being fed as they approach people. Downside is that there is goose poop on the walking area, but while I was there a park worker was going around in a golf cart spraying the track clean. Kids will like this park and getting up close to waterfowl.

Really love taking the kids here. Fishing is decent. There are 3 total playgrounds (one near the cemetery at the entrance, one half way, and a large one near the tennis courts in the back. Explore all 3. We had a birthday party in one of the pavilions and the kids had an amazing time. Highly recommend. Lots of geese. Not sure if thats good or bad but we have never had a problem. Youll also see cranes and ducks!

The best playground in Helena for children 5-8. The track surrounding the pond is an easy walk/jog, but could benefit from shade.Some of the equipment is dated, the pond could use some trash removal, and driving to the playground is a circuitous route on a narrow, bumpy road.Best place in town to feed geese!

Joe Tucker Park is a great place to get exercise and just relax. I’m usually playing pickle ball on the excellent courts. They’ve done a great job accommodating both tennis and pickle ball players. It’s lighted at night too!

Love this park, it is huge! Plenty of different spots for slides and swings. The pond is nice, police and fire fighters are right up the road if you ever need help and there is a lot to do and see here. Be aware of Canadian Geese as they can be territorial and watch your children around them. Fishing here is nice as well, bring plenty of sunblock and water if youre here for a while. I think the town of Helena can plant some flowers in some spots and the park will really stand out. Will continue to come back to visit and spend a day.

We go here at least twice a week to let the kids play, I love that the whole playground is the rubber ground to help keep the kids from getting injured. I wish that the pond was better stocked for fishing but otherwise no real complaints. They also have a handicap accessible playground.

This is a wonderful park, with a lake, that was adopted as home by a couple of hundred Canadian geese.This is a well maintained park that offers;1) A lighted half-mile asphalt track, which encircles the park lake.2) Lighted tennis courts.3) A lighted baseball diamond.4) A covered pavilion for picnics, or any​ gatherings.5) Limited bankside fishing.6) And always, the opportunity to feed the adoptive geese, ducks, and cranes.

Lots of goose poop, but great park

Review №44

Was not what I expected. Hornets swarmed throughout the pavilions and the park is literally adjacent to a cemetery....not that thats a major issue but driving up for the first time and seeing a park intermingled along side a cemetery could be unsettling to the unaware.

Why does this keep popping up. I havent been to this park. Is it because I was at a friends house several blocks away? There needs to be a way to remove prompts for places I havent been.
