Well-cared for grass, huge shady trees, interesting sculpture, a dynamic squishy splash pad, plenty of seating and free WiFi, makes this centrally located green space the perfect place to gather, enjoy a picnic, shoot some photos, or practice free speech. Day or night, this all season park serves the CR community well and has proven to be a good investment for all members of the community. Adjacent to a bike trail and across the street from both the main branch of the CR Metro Library and the CR art museum, this park is also home to the popular CR Farmer's Market and many a summer concerts. And of course, a visit to Green Square Park would not be complete without the blowing whistle of a train passing by!

Fross Park is a great amenity for Center Point!…read more It's on the northern end of Center Point just off of Main Street and alongside the HUGE cemetery. I was in town for a softball tournament this past weekend. My biggest issue was there were just two stalls available-- there was quite a line. Otherwise the fields were well maintained and there was shade throughout. No complaints here! This gem boasts: a basketball court, disc golf course, multiple playgrounds, pavilions (that are rentable), a super cool sand volleyball court, skate park, soccer fields, tennis court and a very nice walking trail that's 1.2 miles. Fross Park also offers a plethora of parking. Overall, while Center Point is a bit of a drive for us-- I won't be mad the next time my daughter plays at Fross Park! It's fabulous.

There is a playground and swingset at this park along with some trails that head into the behind neighborhood. There was a family of 4 at the park playing on the playground when I arrived and they stayed for most of the time I was there. It was nice to sit outside in the shade and enjoy the outdoors. Will definitely return to this park, maybe even with my dog to take on a walk here.

By park standards, this isn't anything special unless you're a walker / jogger. There's essentially…read moresome open lawn area with a track circling it. The playground is very nice, though. There are two large structures with multiple slides of varying heights, and other things like ladders, firemen's poles, etc. There are also a few smaller stand-alone items, as well as benches for the tired old parents like me. The only downside to the playground is that it's not fenced in. It's in the center of the track / field, though. So the only ways your kid would make it into the street is either if your kid is the Flash, or you're a very distracted parent.

Most days you can find people fishing and walking. My kids love standing near the upside down bridge where locals and visitors alike drive through and splash the kids standing near the water. It is also a fun place to enjoy a picnic as there are several tables scattered around the park. There are a couple pavilions you can rent and during the summer/fall bathrooms with running water to utilize as well. It is a carry in and carry out park so you will not find trash cans around.

The place does feel a little run down at times but not tragically, and really it's no worse then any other CR funded park. Early in the morn the park is best, it's nice and quiet and easy to connect with nature while still being only 10 minutes from downtown and a nice easy stop on the morning commute.

There's a picnic area at the inner trailhead as it's close to the small lodge I believe. I tend to use the access off of 31st St instead of driving through the park. I've seen more runners than dog walkers on the trail, but wayyy too much poop. It also gets really muddy and buggy when the weather is right, so it becomes unenjoyable for me. I'd recommend in dry weather during the daytime so you don't step in mud or poop.
