It’s a beautiful park to walk your dog, running, campaign and for all kinds of outdoor activities. Free parking, people are cautious wearing masks. It’s a safe spot to hang out with friends and families. Since we’ve been cooped at home for few months.

Nice County Park with numerous trails , ball parks, a Dog Bark Park where dogs can roam free and an horse stables.Minus thing is maps to trails are covered with plexiglass with is fogged up, and hard to see the layout of the trails.The main trail, The Carousel Loop is a great trail about 3 miles in length. Mostly gravel, with some level and natural sections to it and is very hilly.

Very lovely place! Spacious dog park! Picturesque sights! Horses and donkeys. Good for children, dogs and common folks having a walk there. It‘s more suitable for walking than cycling.

Carousel Park is a good destination whether you want to hike, bike, picnic, or even fish. Theres a no leash dog park for furry friends too! Take a walk through the trail or visit the horses. The park also has many community activities, check their website for details.

Best park in the state! NEVER overcrowded! The entrance welcomes you with a complete old western ghost town setting. Very cool! Feels more like an old world countryside. Set upon numerous acres, this park has beautiful green pastures, lovely wooded trails, country lanes, ponds, stables complete with friendly horses and other barnyard buddies ready to greet you along your walk or jog. This place is magical at dusk! The moonlight through the pines and the swan lake has illuminated fountains. It truly is a special place!

Great dog park with a pond for dogs to swim in. There isn’t a gate and it isn’t fully fenced so dogs can get out, but the space is large with the dogs mostly clustered around the center. The trails around the park are also nice, although they are mostly gravel

Great place to take the kids. They have a large playground and horse stables which you can walk through and pet the horses. Its also a perfect place to take your energetic dog. Its such a large park that most dogs (and owners) would be exhausted if you walked the whole thing. In the summer we frequent their farmers market where they invite local farmers to bring their vegetables, meats, dairy products, and plants.

A very good place to spend some quality time. I have been here several times to run around the park. You get to see horses, llamas, swans and turtles etc. I love the fact that it isnt too far from human habitation but once you get in, it is serene. There are several trails you could explore and the equestrian center is simply awesome. It looks like a quaint little town. Good news for dog lovers and owners. The park has a leash free area. Your canines are going to love this place!

They offer horse ridding lesson if your interested. Other than that they have 2 ponds one is just for looking at turtals and the other is for fishing. There is a kids section that has alpacas sheep and horses of course. Me and my sister mostly go there to jog though.

Beautiful local park, great walking path through the wooded areas and around the lake. Dog park is great for your dog- leashed or not. it is a carry in carry out so bring a bag for any trash, there are cans on the way in/out of the park.

We came her for pony rides a couple of weeks ago. For only $5, I thought it would be a fun thing to try out on Saturday morning. I am so glad we went because my daughter really enjoyed her rides. She was able to ride both Tiegen and Smurf. Everything was provided to ensure proper safety, and the people working there were very helpful. Not only did she get to ride, we also were able to visit some of the horses and take some fun pictures. We will definitely be back!

Carousel Park is a great walking park. I do the whole outer ring and its a nice workout because youre going up and down hills. I avoid the dog park like the plaque because dogs are allowed off the leash there. Its easy to avoid, though

I grew up in the neighborhood that attaches to the park and have always loved it. Today I returned after not being home for years and decided to kill some time fishing at the pond. I had a good time, caught some very small largemouths. Only big complaint was that the geese were out of control. The pond was almost completely filled at one point. When they took off the whole thing was riddled with feathers and every bit of shoreline covered with their droppings (you could smell it all just standing there) further more, there were at least 3 different occasions where people came down with bread to feed them, one couple fees them a whole load NEXT TO THE PLEASE DONT FEED THE ANIMALS SIGN! They are like seagulls at the beach hanging around for the handouts.Anyways, they should put some stuff in place to reduce the goose traffic and it would be a cleaner and less loud pond.Like I said, the park is a great place and lots of walking places and dog areas. I still enjoyed my day very much.

I grew up at this farm and now get the pleasure of bringing my toddler to enjoy the sights and horses. There are beautiful walking trails, fun cowboy scenery, the stunning gentle giant Mounted Patrol... Every visit is different and memory-making! We love Carousel Park.

This place is the BEST. If you own dogs and are within an hour’s drive, get all your booties over there this weekend. There are natural barriers, hiking trails, a beautiful pond, horses galore, and the whole scene is idyllic and full of life. And the people! Folks who come here are beyond friendly (and often quite attractive, for you single folk). Come out and play!

I am not a walker. It is beautiful and great for hikes and taking you dogs for exercise. They do have a small play area for little ones. Beware though it is not shaded. If you drive to one side it has the horse stables. You are aloud to walk in and greet the beautiful creatures. Their Halloween camping night is excellent. A lot of activities for adults and children of all ages. We had a blast.

Great for walks especially if you have a dog or small kids. There are playgrounds and horses everywhere for kids to look at. Theres a huge open dog park where theres always at least 5-10 dogs and a pond where many dogs go swimming.

A real nice place. Theres 2 playground areas, fishing, places to look at geese, turtles, or horses,a dog park, picnic tables. The dog park is my favorite part. Theres usually 4-6 other dogs when we go. They can swim or you can go behind a hill for more alone unleashed time for training. Lots of little trails around Carousel, too. Some in the open, others in the woods. Check out all the turtles in the mini pond by the horse hill. Theres a few portapotties around. Bring water.
