Fairview Park

Huge, beautiful park with lots of trails and picnic areas and ponds. Stopped at a pond to help a young fisherperson remove a fishing hook from the side or a young ducks head. Luckily, no harm done....this time!

The roller skating was fantastic, staff was incredibly helpful and even assisted in putting skates on my 6 kids ! Restrooms were clean and close by. Very relaxed environment, well supervised without being overbearing.

No more live bears here anymore, but it's still my favorite place to unwind and marvel at the natural beauty.

Beautiful park.

I do not recommend anyone rent the big pavilion in front if any other party is there....
It can be rented by 3 parties at once and NO DIVIDER
The excessive loud music by the very large Latin family that was having a birthday party really was inconsiderate of my event
A one year reflection celebration for my Daughter
A HUGE BACK DROP W HER ON A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN was a HUGE give a way that this event is a quiter event. Just rude.

I have been coming to this park for 45 years, a lot has changed.
Bears, carnivals, roses, swimming, playing and that bikini tree has always been a must see!! The trails are great and it has a lot to offer

Lovely park. Lot's of hiking, biking and more can be done here. Beautiful pond in the middle of this park. Lot's of Pavilions to use.

Use to have a public pool but with the new water park in town the park district decided to close and tare down this pool which is a shame. It may of needed some work but I felt this pool would have been used and used a lot.

There are few things more revitalizing than time spent out-of-doors and to see so many other people doing the same just seemed to put me in a good mood. There were kids in the skate park, dogs (and owners) in the dog park, people gathered around picnic shelters, a party being set up under the pavilion (it always impresses me to see the size of that thing!), a young family checking out the ducks around Dreamland Pond, and numerous people of all ages just seemingly enjoying a walk thru the park. Best of all, despite all of this activity, this park is spacious enough that at no time did it feel even remotely crowded! This park has got to be an absolutely amazing asset in this community!

Great place to take the kids very pretty clean and lots of great outdoor

Love the walking/hiking trails and the famous "Bikini Tree"!

It's the best park in Decatur. I enjoy regularly watching the ducks and geese at Dreamland Pond. I'm curious as how the park district is going to develop the old pool area.

Nice clean park, it started to rain so we had to move the bouce house in until it stopped. Forgive us for breaking the rules but no one wants a slip hazard!

My favorite place to escape after a stressful week. I've been coming here since I was a child. I'm either at the skatepark, running/walking the trails, or at the duck pond. it's always a great time.

This park is huge! Beware of the one way streets, and getting lost, but luckily they have tons of signs. The playground is really nice and huge. Plenty of seating and a working water fountain.

Great place to take your kids to fish or watch the ducks and there's even trails to walk to Rock springs

Casey Henderson the Recreational Supervisor at the Decatur Indoor Sports Center did a fantastic job running the Turkey Trot run this year.
He has had back to back great events within a month.
The Scareport and the Turkey Trot where successful events and credit goes to Casey and his staff

Had A Great Time with my 2yr old Daughter!!!

Great park very big and spacious lots of picnic spots and little like sheds to bbq or have small gatherings and in the middle there is medium size pond with lots ducks with a small/medium bridge in the middle

Great park in Decatur! It has a skateboard park and BMX bike bowl, kids love the playground although it is a little older. It has a big soccer field and tennis courts that you can use. There's also a walking/bike path, and a dog park. It has public restrooms that are always open when we go, also a huge covered area with picnic tables.

Large park w walking trails. Clean,shady,places to grill,duck pond but geese are being let to take over.They sometimes chase you and sidewalk is NASTY 🤢, supposed to be a place kids to age 16 can fish safely but MANY adults ignore that and I never see anyone tell them to stop. It would be nice if they had coin machines for corn to feed ducks and they take most or all the geese somewhere else far away so they don't return.i know others will come but they can do this routinely and the other issues would be better. Gonna have to restock pond soon as adults know how to catch the lil kids fish .....

It's a nice peaceful place to take children with a duck pond and play area for the children. It also has bike trails and a swimming area and tennis courts and places to play basketball. There is a squirrel here that ate right out of my granddaughters hand.

It looks well kept for all ages to use. It was really nice for the Macon county union gathering after the Labor day parade. Thanks to all that arranged the get together.
