Fall Park is a beautiful retreat in the heart of Pendleton with a rich history. According to…read morehistorical plaques, indigenous people found refuse in the beautiful natural falls. Early settlers moved to the area in 1818 and harnessed the energy of the falls for milling and other uses. A cannery and quarry thrived on the banks of the beautiful creek. After which the area became a neglected dumping grounds. In 1919, a local business man had the vision to clean up the property and turn it into a park. Today, the park is beautiful with a massive modern playground, restroom facility, picnic pavilions, paths along the creek and naturally terraced falls. The quarry was turned into a lovely little pond complete with a folk art lighthouse. A quiet war memorial stands on the north side of the pond. I enjoyed my walk through the manicured grounds with gardens and shaded by large trees. Plenty of parking areas meander through the park. Fishing is permitted in the stream. The park is now host to annual events. This is a fabulous community park with beautiful natural elements, great facilities and a little history.

You can walk to Ohanalulu ice cream, INitaly, Edicta39 and more if you're looking for food while you play.

I thought that General Pulaski Park was one of the nicest parks in Anderson. I pulled into the…read moreparking area on the east end and immediately noticed the walking trails (paved) and pond. Next were the shelter and playground on the left of the drive. On the right side on a small hill was located multiple tennis and basketball courts. To the west was a baseball diamond. The maintenance crews were busy trimming and mowing which made my visit a bit shortened, but I was glad to see the park getting plenty of attention. The only negative I saw was that the permanent restrooms had experienced some vandalism; still working, but signs of damage to the walls and attempts on the plumbing left me shaking my head. But overall, the park had a lot to offer, particularly for those with an interest in fitness. Plenty to do and not too crowded. Review #1093

What I like best about the park are the mature trees that provide lots of shade. Some of the trees are over 400 years old. There is a huge colorful playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. The base is a mix of mulch and soft matting. Benches line the area for parents to sit and watch kids . (The equipment could use a good cleaning from the trees.) There are two ball diamonds with bleachers within the park. A beautiful stream that meanders through the park attracts fisherman. Tree-covered picnic areas are scattered along the creek. The Vermont Covered Bridge spans the creek and is open to pedestrian traffic. There are restroom facilities near the playground. There are several parking areas throughout the park and you can drive along the creek. Highland Park is a great place to bring the family.

Right next to the display was a playground suitable for all ages. The slide is a bit high, and it seemed old, but in good condition. There are also covered picnic tables in the area. Down the ways a bit in the park is a red covered bridge that was fun to walk through and take some photos with.

There was also a mixture of new play towers as well as an old school spiral slide and spinning wheel. The park was clean and had lots of mature trees for shade. For the size of the town, this is a really good option for entertaining the kids. Review #2820
