Green River Swimming and Recreation Area

About

Family-friendly place offering a playground, BBQ pits and a swimming area.

The primary swimming area is in the natural Green River, and there is also a kiddie pool. Neither is typically heated, so their temperatures fluctuate naturally with the weather and river conditions throughout the season. Specific temperature data is generally not published.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Visitors generally describe the park as a great family-friendly destination, especially for young children and relaxed outings like barbecues. Praised for its cleanliness, beauty, safety, and amenities such as playgrounds, bathrooms, lifeguards, grills, and accessible parking, many found it enjoyable. However, common criticisms include the steep entry fees ($8 per person; $36 for non-swimmers). While some experienced it as non-crowded, others reported very crowded beach areas where open smoking (cigarettes and cannabis) was prevalent, significantly detracting from their enjoyment and raising concerns about children's exposure. The water is often shallow (knee-high even in July), making it less ideal for serious swimming or older children/teenagers, who may find the park unthrilling. Furthermore, bike trails lead to, but not within, the park.
