It could use a bit more parking, however, I did get a decent enough spot. This is not a huge riverwalk, but it is still pretty cool. When I say it is not big, I mean that it is very small. It's small enough that you can walk it in a matter of a few minutes. All in all, I enjoyed my time at this cool little riverwalk. I can guarantee that if I lived in the area, I would be here on a pretty regular basis. If you find yourself in Milton, Florida, go check this out. I am confident that you will appreciate this and will enjoy your time here. Overall, I will give it five stars as a rating and it definitely has earned my recommendation. Go check it out.

It is pretty bare bones for a dog park, and it seems as if there hasn't been much updating in years.

They have a incline board for them to walk over, and then one plywood board with a hole cut in the middle for a dog to jump through. Other than that it's just a larger open space for dogs to run in a caged in area. Would be nice for them to add some more dog related activities into the park. There are two benches with covering to sit under for the humans. As well as a bag dispenser for you to ACTUALLY pick up after your dog..*cough cough* Also.. there is no lighting after sunset so beware..

It is Well fenced and has plenty of room for your dogs to run as well as a bunch of tree light things for them to run around and shade themselves in. It has a nice water facility as well as two or three benches sporadically placed around the park for you to sit on and a couple of them have coverings. You can park right next to the dog park and there is a nice little walk down to a double gated entry area. Ground covering is grass and sand and they have a few agility items in one spot for your dogs to play on.

There are fewer and fewer swing bridges remaining, so I made a slight detour off I-10 to pass…read morethrough downtown Milton and visit the bridge. Unlike bascule bridges (from the French term for balance scale) which lift one or more spans, swing or "twist" bridges rotate around a vertical axis to allow water traffic to pass. In Milton, the Blackwater River Swing Bridge only carries a single track of railroad traffic. Spanning the Blackwater River, the bridge is believed to have been constructed around 1882. It is of the "through truss" design. It is easy to photograph from the park just to the north (upstream). Other views are rather overgrown and in Florida, near slow moving water, I wouldn't recommend trekking through it. I was not able to catch the bridge opening despite handing out for short while though I did spot a train crossing the bridge. You'll hear the train whistle for a good few minutes as it has many crossings nearby. Early in the morning is best to catch the river at its smoothest for a good photo.

Awesome park for skateboarding and inline skates. Open every day. And well lit and open after dark…read more The park is unsupervised, but often patrolled by law enforcement. Everyone always seems kind and respectful towards each other. Great for kids of all ages, and adults alike, too. Bring your video camera as sometimes you can catch professional athletes performing some impressive stunts. Free to the public. No admission, no charge whatsoever. Helmets are required. And recommended that you also use other protective wear such as elbow, knee, and wrist pads, too. Bicycles and scooters are not allowed in the concrete bowl. "The skate park was built in 2007 and cost $300,000 - paid for by the city. It is the only free concrete park in the area and was designed with the help of Team Pain."

Funded locally and even more impressive because Milton is absolutely not a big city. The memorial is a short walk from the center of the city and is located along the riverwalk next to the Blackwater River. If you are already here or just passing through on I-10, stop by and see.
