Great escape during pandemic! Such a lovely space right next to downtown Lancaster.Good for walking, biking, picnics and just plain relaxation.Grounds and pathways are very clean and well taking care of.Come enjoy the fall and come anytime of the year. You would not regret it!

Awesome five senses park! Nice trail, variety of plants, and flowers. There is an interesting gazebo, sun dial and informative tidbits all over the trail regarding the plants, some FAQ, and other info. there is a water feature that goes all over the trail and starts from the top. There are plenty of trails present, BBQ spots, and just plenty of spots to park your vehicle and lounge around. There is a restroom available, and a pool(closed) and children play grounds sprinkled throughout the park. Good place to unwind and appreciate nature! Highly recommend to visit!

The wonder of the park is that a place this close to a downtown urban center could be so varied and offer something for everyone. Highlights include hiking trails and the Five Senses Garden with its collection of beautiful trees and water feature. Its hard to beat a walk by the Conestoga River after a fresh snowfall or a picnic by the covered bridge or (my personal favorite) a wedding at Historic Rock Ford.

Lancaster City and suburban areas best park. There is something for everyone: hiking, bike trails, horse trails, playgrounds, nature, exercise equipment, a creek, covered bridges, and more! We love to take our pup to the park as it is the countys ONLY fully off leash dog park. Please be aware that if you are apprehensive around dogs or have little children that there WILL be dogs off leash. While most folks are good about keeping an eye on their pets, make sure to keep an eye out for unleashed dogs. This is a great park!

Find a bathroom before you get there, especially if you bring kids. Every restroom facility we could find was closed. All the convenience store bathrooms closed.... couldnt even use McDs restroom. Kid had to end up using a portajohn where some construction was under way. #Sick_Of_Covid

Great park with lots of things to do, like picnics, swimming in a huge swimming pool, play volley ball, or just go for a walk or hike. Theres a river running alongside it, which makes it ideal for a multitude of activities. Lots of nature and animals, you will find from deer to rabbits running around. Great for the whole family

Take your time.. and your camera...and simply go. Be sure to stop by the garden plots at this time of the year. (July and August) Sunflowers are magnificent. American goldfinches, cardinals, and Indigo buntings are just a few of the gorgeous birds that serenade the area.

I really like the park. Its not super busy and has lots of shade. The only reason Im giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because some ares dont have trash cans- like the kiwanis area. But in general its a nice place to hang out. I take my dog on walks here.
