Playground is disappointing.

Just love this little park & the amphitheatre, enjoyed the Summer Jazz in the park & the little river walk behind the amphitheatre. Children playground is great & safe, dog friendly & great place for a picnic on the hill & watch the sunsets 😁🥂

Fun park all year round, however, it's decorated so festively during the holidays! The Live Nativity is done beautifully for all to enjoy. Santa and his reindeer make a special visit as well! Thank you all, for who puts so much work & energy into it for all of us to enjoy!!

We attended the live nativity as we have for the past few years, and it was amazing. Let the kids play on the playground afterward. Nice clean park.

What a lovely Christmas event! Family oriented, free hot chocolate and cookies, with lights and festive fun in every direction. (We've actually never been to this park until this Christmas!)

Nice little getaway, has a playground, amphitheater, and hills. During the winter the hills are great for sledding, summer the city puts on concerts, and fall and spring you can enjoy the playground, or take a small hike behind the amphitheater, there's a tore swing back there, but be careful it's old!

I have been to many concerts and programs here and I love the place. What a great venue. Only down side I see is the lack of parking.

Lovely park. Has places to sit and eat in the shade as well. Amazing views !

Pretty wonderful summer Pagent amphitheatre. Grass is really nicely kept. The bathrooms are not flushing at the moment, so that's a deal breaker. Plenty of parking.

This park is absolutely beautiful! Lots of open grass areas, and little playground, and a beautiful trail hidden back behind the amphitheater. The trail takes about 20 minutes to go to one end (if you have toddlers distracted my every stick and rock they find), but you feel like you're up in the mountains or in a much bigger forest. Our little family highly enjoyed it and will definitely be going back many times.

This park is beautiful. The scenery is unmatched and it provides a beautiful setting for our community to gather and be together.

It's a beautiful park and family friendly. We went there to watch the fireworks. At the top of the hill side you could see firework from different parts of the valley. It's also great place to watch the sun set in the evening

Beautiful park. Picturesque mountain panorama. A large lawn, small playground. Limited tables for eating. Just a few by the playground. There is an amphitheater with occasional concerts and play performances. Parking is inadequate for those kinds of events, and street parking has restrictions. Plan accordingly.

Well-maintained, nice, clean park. Beautiful surroundings as well. They have a really cool stage for performances.

My wife and I play in several bands and have played out there many times. Great facilities. And there is always a great turnout.

We attended a free Jazz concert at the Barker Park Amphitheater and it was fantastic. The acoustics were perfect, the park itself was lovely, and the majestic mountains in the background made for a wonderful evening.

You can literally post up on the hill and watch all the lights of ogden from there. Great place fireworks were canceled this year.... sad... but still it was cool to see all the people in towns fireworks

Got to see Once on an Island! Tickets\attendance was courteously controlled.. So not too loud. Not too crowded! Nothing anywhere close to "out of control". Great actresses and actors. Wonderful production. Colorful and interesting costumes. Please go see it and enjoy! Highly recommend.

Beautiful views, well maintained. Volunteers were grooming the trees and brush next to it this morning. The hills are fun and nice for luxuriating, or for playing. Can't wait for fall to make more memories!

Nice park with covered tables and a playground. Also has a small amphitheater that is occasionally used with lots of lawn seating. Too bad North Ogden city wants to make it bigger as bigger is not always better.
