Sinnissippi Park and Golf Course are beautiful. If you are a golfer, you should check out the course. Wonderful 9 hole course.

My family comes to the Sinnissippi golf course almost every time we go out. They are affordable and a fun course to play. The pro shop also has a nice grill that offers different food options for breakfast and lunch.I would recommend this course.

Its a great place to bring the family. Theres ice and snow sculpture contest and the Festival of Lights in the winter. Its a fun place to bring kids to sled. In the summer its just an all-around wonderful place for a free family trip. Down by the Gazebo they have a playground for older kids. Near the back of the park they have a playground for smaller kids whats some interesting Musical interactions and even a Bandshell

Sinnissippi is a wonderful park in Rockford that offers golf, pickleball, concerts, Xmas lights and more. It is kind of a hidden gem in Rockford. If you havent been you should check it out. 4 stars because I feel the golf course and other areas could be groomed a bit better but does not take away from the area.

In my opinion, one of the best parks in Rockford. Being located where its at, its amazing how peaceful and out-of-the-way feeling it is. There are several Trails through the woods, playground equipment for the kids, plenty of benches and picnic tables, and as long and you are willing to keep your dog leashed and pick up after it this park is very animal friendly. I love it.

This is a fantastic free park that is located right on the Rock River. It has a parking lot right next to it. The multi purpose trail that runs along the river is really nice to take in the beautiful river view and get some exercise in for the day. Theres a huge rose garden that is well maintained with walking paths and all the different varieties of flowers are labeled for those of us non gardeners! I love the clock thats located in the middle of the park. Theres water fountains and bike parking too. We spent quite a bit of time just wandering around the pond area watching 2 beautiful swans and a crane. The awesome sounds of nature all around you is really soothing and relaxing. Theres plenty of seating throughout the park too. This would be a great place to picnic. I saw a city rental bike that was parked by someone enjoying the park. Not sure where the nearest city bike kiosk is though. I looked everywhere and didnt see it nearby. It would have been nice if they had a rental kiosk here though. We may have rented bikes for a quick ride up and down the river.This park is located next to the Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens that requires a fee to enter.

I live not far from Sinnissippi park and its always a lovely sight to see that when its bright and sunny the place is never empty. When the flowers colors pop next to the man made pond it truly is a nice little spot to enjoy the scenery. Coming towards the colder days people still walk along the trail on the river and stop sometimes to view the Nicholas conservatory when its open. Great place to hang out if you want to just sit down and read a book, or if you just want to have a great time with friends that are just as observant as you are. And its free. Cant deny that.

Theres a golf course, 2 playgrounds, shelters, pickleball courts. In the winter the golf course is open to cross country skiers and dog walkers. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because they almost closed the golf course for good.

This park has a lot to offer. Golf course club house, pickle ball courts. A rolling hill contoured forest landscape great for a challenging walk. A band shell for local concerts. Electric outlets that provide the available resources to have light shows. Snow sculptures during the spring and playground equipment for the kids. Another fantastic place to play in the city.

The covered picnic shelter is perfect for large groups, and a bonus is that it has bathrooms attached! Theres very close parking, too. Permanent grills and a water source make it a great picnic/outdoor party location!

Nice 9 hole Muni course. Relatively short, but deceptively harder than it looks due to hilly terrain. Each hole is different which makes for an interesting round.

We played golf on the course there. It is a very open course, GREAT for beginners. Its pretty cheap, I think $7 for our Saturday afternoon tee time. I dont remember any water or sand traps. We got there early and had a beer in the club house, ~$4 beers. The staff was very kind and happy to be there.

This is a good course to bring your kids to learn the game. The actual course always in decent condition and is challenging enough, even though it is relatively short and there are no sand traps or water. Sometimes there are good deals on Golf Now for discounted rates.

A sprawling amount of park great for a picnic or a jog. Right next to 2nd street, so even deep in the park itself you will still hear the traffic. There are some amenity here but there is no clear way to see when they are or arent open.

Great place! The overall architecture and design of the whole facility is splendid. Waterfalls, koi, turtles, and antique Japanese huts are just the beginning of what you will see. I visited on a hot summer day, and trust me its hot.The price to get in is questionable for its size. They charge $8 as this was posted. For its size I questioned paying this.
