The park is right on the hill a couple of blocks behind the James Madison bldg. It's quiet enough and kept pretty clean. The grounds and benches could use some attention to update it. Parking can be a chore as there is only street parking. But it's a good place to take a small dog or bring food for quick lunch.
I love this peaceful little park. I wish the city would fix it up a little, replace the paved path with some more environmentally friendly packed gravel, fix the monument, Make it feel a little more loved.
Nice quiet urban park though I've mostly stayed in the north section. Very open but also a good amount of shade. The grass tends to grow pretty long between cuts but it's not a big deal.
A nice park to sit and people watch, or walk your dog. Planty of open space for kids to play. Weekends are for kids soccer or flying a kite.
Great little green space with lots of benches. Would be good for throwing a ball or disc around and for picnics. It lost a star for not having a public toilet, but there's a Starbucks on 3rd if you're discreet.
It's a Park, there's benches and trees and when I was there I saw birds. It's clean nicely located.bthere aren't any play areas which is great if you're going to relax.
Ok small park just grass pe OP please walk dogs. It's a bunch of benches covered in bird poop, make sure to bring a newspaper to sit on and drape behind you. Several trash cans I dont see litter on groud.
