It was a lot better than I remember it. It Has a very nice splash pad. And play grounds for all ages just about.

Nice slide, but there were more kids sliding down the walkway leading to the top then there were going down the slide. So you constantly had to avoid people taking out your legs while you just tried to enjoy the slide. There is a nice little splash pool close by.

Union park is a large park with several different sets of play equipment. The rockt slide is actually several different slides in one, with smaller slides for small children, going up to the actual rocket slide for bigger kids.

The carousel here is also very nice for kids. The prices are good, and it doesn't move too fast even for small children, though the music on it can be a bit loud.

The only real downside to this park, in my opinion, is that their parking situation isn't very good during events. The lot is fairly small, and if there's a lot of people you often have to park pretty far from the play equipment, etc.

Very clean, busy with several families having picnics. Was wonderful to see so many enjoying the park. Loved the carousel!

Acres of flat greenspace, pavilions, three playgrounds, a rocket slide, plenty of parking, tennis courts, a splash pad, carousel, permanent toilet and drinking facilities, and plenty of room for all the kids. (And a port o john).

What isn't to love?

My grandfather helped rebuild/remodel this park when I was a kid in the 90's but I've been going here since I was born and take my kids to it whenever I get the chance.
