Great open space with plenty of historical structures to explore. Right on the beautiful river. Great views and not crowded.

We parked here to avoid busy downtown area. The sign didn’t easily show how to get to the park & pedestrian bridge from the parking lot. The park had a memorial to those who served in civil war & to general Grant.

This is a very scenic, great little park. Nice views across the river of the downtown area. Wonderful place to walk the dog and take a break, while visiting the area. Everything is very clean and well kept.
