This park has beautiful trails and multiple water features.You can take a long walk or short through grassy areas perfect foe a picnic or through the woods. Dog friendly. Tennis courts, play grounds and rentable pavilions. Because of all these amenities school holidays and summer can be very busy and parking can be challenging.Not a huge park so when it's busy you definitely lose the feeling of really being alone or out in nature.
Covered picnic areas, a gentle stream running through the park, nice paths for walking. Good areas for playing frisbee or other games. Play equipment for young children. You can reserve an area for a group picnic.
I like to go for walks here, but it can be a little creepy in the back part of the park as it it wooded and secluded. Take a friend!
This is not a fish friendly park. the lake is all chocked up with lillies. limited area at the river. The city sewer plant empties in at the river, has a mild tomedium smell. Stick bait smells better.The park it self is very nice, except all 6 bathrooms we locked up. Had to use porta potty :(.
We recently hosted a family event at the Rood Bridge Park River House. It was a perfect space for our gathering of 50 people, including children. There is a large group space with gorgeous wood beams, a large gas fireplace and big windows overlooking a scenic view of the pond and trees. The kitchen is open to the main space over a counter and the center provides both round and rectangle tables. The kitchen has an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and a large refrigerator. There are nice bathrooms and another room at the end of a hall with a door that we found very convenient for setting up as a kids play area. The staff was helpful and reachable throughout our event. Clean up took 20 - 30 minutes for 8 of us. We found we needed an extension cord for setting up coffee pots in the main area. The park itself has a great playground but it was a little too far away from the River House to be of use to us.
This park has good playground equipment, nice natural areas and lovely water. It has a little bit of everything from small children to adults. The playground is a bit removed from the natural walking/jogging trails so if you're looking for some quiet time in nature the kids won't bug you too much.
Its a very nice park for older and younger kids alike. Lots of space for biking if the playstructure doesnt hold their interest anymore
This is a beautiful park with lots of room to wander and a nice play area for kids. Paths run through it, and it is pet friendly. It is true that the pond is no longer available for our Labrador to swim in due to the abundance of water lilies, but that is probably the only down side.
We needed some quiet time after our hustle, bustle day in Portland. Located 5 minutes from our hotel, we enjoyed the large grassy areas and mature trees. A creek meanders throughout and joins up with a small river. There is a covered picnic area and a playground.
I run a day camp and we love this park. Its very big with well organized spaces for different uses. There is a playground area with some covered lunch areas so that you can watch the kids and sit in the shade, there are several large fields, nice clean bathrooms, paved path ways throughout, and a lovely little stream that is safe for the little ones to play in. The stream or was it down into a little pond area where all the kids love to watch the frogs in the tadpole and wildlife. Further on down the pathway and around the bend is a larger Pond. It is not visible from the parking lot or the main park area which I like because if you don't want to take the kids there they don't have to know about it!
