It was so peaceful, and watching everyone tube was great. Everyone was cheerful and friendly. Definitely recommend going if you love the water.

Beautiful park beside the clear creek, a nice place to hangout in the evenings and on weekends. We had a cookout session here with my husband’s colleagues. Good amount of seatings and picnic area.

The BEST park! Walk to and from the creek and sit in grass under massive trees with lots of shade and grass. Great music on the 4th of July. We love it!!

Such a beautiful place. The scenery is absoluting amazing. I was there from Georgia, and was blown away at witnessing a small part of God's handiwork. I am looking forward to returning in the fall. If you are in the area I highly recommend going and walking the trails.

Great park in golden where you walk along the river on a nice sunny day. Nice playground area for the kids and open Field to hang out.

Late October. Plenty of trees in the area changing colors. The creek still has that lovely sound of water falling over rocks and rippling on its way.
Only a few cars in the lot with some walkers and dog-walkers on the sidewalk beside the creek. One man tried fishing but quickly gave up.
Altogether a very pleasant place to take a sandwich lunch and enjoy a moment.

Lions Park was my home base for going tubing down the river and it’s the perfect place for a family with kids to do that. Has plenty of parking space (on the streets and a lot for disabled drivers), decent and clean bathrooms, a grassy area for your picnic blanket and is a few steps away from the river. It also has pickleball courts, a baseball field, a small playground and an outdoors gym. You can’t have propane tanks to grill on it, but a small stove would be ok. There’s also a park ranger that walks around and makes sure everything ok. Great place!

Went here for memorial weekend (Monday) with some friends. We brought our own portable charcoal grill (since the park did not have any public ones) and we did manage to score a table. If you forgot a grill id go to the safeway less then a mile away and pick up one for about 30 dollars. After the BBQ we took our inflatable tubes over to the river which was REALLY FUN. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and there was no drama in the 9 hours we were there. We had our little speaker and it was a great time. I'd def go and visit again.

Lovely park near the river. Several pavilions for use and great field for pickup games. Portopotties available for use
Parking does require registration with an app but was free for two hours (at least on Saturday).

First time visitor - we'll be back! Lots of play structures for different ages. A sand volleyball court, a field and lots of shade and picnic tables. Swings and a pavilion that can be reserved. Across the street is a beautiful creek with a path to follow and toss in rocks :) there are lots of bikers and tubers. What a fun respite from the city - and it's cool with the shade and breeze.

Great place for shade and a good river for the dog to take a dip. The path is very busy with bicycle's zooming by. It looks like a great place if you like to do river water sports. Very busy and rarely parking but it's a hidden little gem to take the dog to.

Have been here several times for the walk along the white water creek. Always a fun time. Our kids love walking this path, easy walk as it's paved and there are also steps in several areas down to the creek. The park area is small but clean with several things for kids to climb and 2 swing sets. Highly recommend if you're looking for an easy leisurely walk. Several riders also out but the walkway is plenty wide for all. During Christmas it's beautifully lit up as well. Pics are of summer & winter.

Love this park. It's always clean and the neighborhood is friendly. There is a lot of sand for the kids to play in, so far I have not found anything dangerous, most people toss trash where it belongs. The river is fun to fish or play in; lot of shallows to get in at.
