A crazy beautiful outdoor space in Iowa City…read more I came to meet a friend with her almost two-year-old daughter who could not get enough of the park. My friend loves this park because "it's not just one structure, there are lots of different pieces for [my daughter] to explore." Riverfront Crossings Park has great faux nature logs and rocks for kids to play with/on. From the tunnel that runs under a hill, to the zip line there is loads of fun to be had here. I also love the parent/child partner swing which allows parents to swing in tandem with their little one- it saves you an arm workout! There are also some metal spheres that make noise similar to a steel drum. It's a nice sensory addition for children.

This review is a little biased because Wetherby Park is right in my backyard. That aside, it really…read moreis a lovely little place. 9-hole disc golf course, walking path, splash pad, playground, pavilion, basketball courts, community garden area, as well as an edible garden that's free to anyone. We're in this park weekly and have sampled everything is has to offer except for the basketball courts. :) It's a great place to spend a few hours. I'm happy to see that the dumpster that was located at the park has been replaced by regular trashcans. The dumpster was really contributing to the litter in the park (in my opinion) and now that trashcans are on site and emptied regularly, people from the neighborhood can't dump their regular trash here. That's my only complaint and it's great improved over the past month or so. A must-visit park in the South District of Iowa City!

Plus it is surrounded by cornfields so it feels very Iowa. This park also leases community garden plots every year for very affordable rates. If you live in an apartment or a rental and want to grow your own food but can't, then this is the place for you. 10x50 plots are $25 and slightly smaller plots are $15. One of my girlfriends did this and said the plots were well prepared. The park also has ample parking lot at the end of Taylor street so you don't have to fight for street parking. Final bonus, it's a Pokestop and has benches so you can attach a lure, sit and enjoy the afternoon.

This park is tucked away and near the interstate-- definitely not a park you'd know about unless…read moreyou live in the area. Having lived in Iowa City most of my life, I didn't know it existed till we moved nearby. With it a few minutes away, this is a go-to park for us and our littles. You can easily access it driving, running or biking down Rohret Road to Duck Creek Road. There is ample free street parking. The park features a few shelters, picnic tables and grills. As well as a plenty of playground equipment to keep your kiddo entertained! This is a personal favorite park because it has a biking trail, hiking/jogging trail and is perfect for a dog walk. Biggest con-- there are no restrooms or water. But come check it out!

It boasts three fields, well maintained restrooms, a solid concession stand (that serves up adult beverages), play structure, ample parking and plenty of open space for teams to warm up on. The dugouts are large and covered with two entrances on and off the field. The fields themselves are well maintained and drain well. My two biggest knocks on this facility are: no batting cages and the lack of shade. But those are minor. My daughter's competitive softball team plays league games here each fall and I'm a fan!

You can have pets at the park as long as there on a leash. The concession prices are a little high. You can siit in the parking lot and drink beer but you can't bring coolers or food in. Overall its a pretty nice place for a tournement.
