North Park

About

Park featuring a playground with slides and swings as well as tennis and basketball courts.

North Park features a sprayground (splash pad) rather than a traditional swimming pool. The water for the sprayground is typically not heated and operates at ambient outdoor temperatures, designed for refreshing play during warmer months.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the park are mixed, largely due to concerns regarding homelessness, despite significant recent improvements. As of summer 2024, the park boasts brand new amenities including an amazing playground, adult exercise equipment, a dog park, a disc golf course, art installations, enhanced lighting, and new bathrooms, highlighting considerable effort from the city and community. Reviewers praise the park's large size, making it suitable for multiple events, and highlight features like a wonderful splash pad, well-equipped playgrounds for various ages, and extensive cement pathways for walking and biking. However, a major recurring theme is the presence of homeless individuals, with some reviewers noting they generally do not bother visitors and advocating for the park as a space for everyone. Conversely, others describe the situation as 'sketchy,' citing visible homelessness, trash, and even an incident involving a fight near the children's area, raising serious safety concerns, particularly near bathrooms. There are conflicting reports on bathroom availability, with some noting new facilities while others complain they are consistently locked. Despite these issues, the park is frequently described as 'great' and 'beautiful,' though some suggest further upgrades like a larger indoor recreational facility.
