The city definitely dresses it up for Christmas with a decorated tree and lights. The grass is well maintained and there is no litter. The park is handicapped accessible.

Beautiful park. Big rocks for kids to climb on or sit. It's right on Paluxy river. Shallow enough…read morefor you to dip toes or play. Rocks can be a bit slippery in the water so venture out carefully. It's a small park and you can easily be done in an hour or 2. There is a small parking available or you'll have to look for street parking. But, if you're in Glen Rose for safari or Dinosaur Valley State Park, do not give this one a miss.

This is one place that will never be accused of false advertising!…read more There are indeed BIG ROCKS here! You can scramble, and/or boulder, around and over them. If water conditions are safe, there is also swimming... So bring your floaties! There are also bathrooms, and (I think) changing rooms. There might be a snack shop, but I've never been here when it's open, so maybe not. Only reason I'm not going 5 stars is that the unpaved parking lot is a navigation nightmare! It's also very bumpy, and entry in and out is rather steep. To top this quagmire off, there's also a huge, Texas-sized, truck blocking the parking isles. The truck usually has an over-sized trailer hitch making things even worse. Lastly, be sure to read the warning sign. If the water is not moving, i.e. stagnant, there is the danger of unhealthy "amoeba organisms."

Loved the scenery here on my vacay. Came here to check out the beach on the lake. It was very nice…read more It was a great time to take pics and video because there wasn't anyone there. I am glad I didn't want a swim because even though the lake was high it was 60 degrees or so that day. The only ones in the water were the geese and ducks. The restroom and outside shower were nice. That is the side of the park w the beach parking. I accidentally parked in the conference center parking lot. I had a nice time and saw a turtle on the catwalk. It dived under water. All in all a great place to spend a bit of quiet time at the start of my day. I included a pic of the rules and even though the water level was high I saw pics on Yelp where it wasn't so you might want to keep that in mind as well.

Great little park right on the Paluxy River. There are some historic buildings to explore. Covered…read morepicnic tables, a nice playground, and restrooms. Best part is the river walk. A paved trail that takes you to the dam, and Big Rocks Park. You walk across the dam to get to the big rocks! Oh, Master Gardeners also has their garden here. Also a short walk from the square, if you don't mind crossing the bridge the cars also use. Bottom line: Great diversion.

This made a GREAT spot for us to eat our combo packed and takeout dinner after finding out that nearby Dinosaur Valley State Park now (last weekend of June 2020) closes at 7pm for day-use on weekends due to COVID-19. This was the perfect motivator to pick-up a to go order from one of the most uniquely Texan restaurants I know --Loco Coyote! With a bit of driving, we were able to pick up our order and head to this park where we found ample seating in the forms of picnic tables and benches with less than a handful of people visiting the park at the time. During our picnic dinner, a group of kayakers and SUPers paddled by on the river below the pavilion creating some lovely dinnertime entertainment!

There are Dinosaur tracks along the river in this park but the tracks are only visible/accessible…read morewhen the water is low. The park's website and a sign at the entry gate let visitors know when the tracks are visible. We went after a heavy rain so the tracks were not visible but we still paid the day use fee and enjoyed the park. The park has tons of hiking trails, a swimming hole called the Blue Hole, Ranger led nature talks, picnic areas, camping sites, and a park store. The park also has 2 large Dinosaurs that were once displayed at the World's Fair alongside some tracks that were excavated from the park. There is a privately owned RV park and a privately owned Dinosaur museum nearby.

Wow! We had such a nice time at pirates cove and we didn't even do all the activities! We went…read morelater in the day to meet friends who were staying at Jellystone and we had to park near the jellystone entrance which was just a short walk. Once there we hung out on the smaller kid side and let me son have fun with the smaller slides. He really enjoyed the several options here, but the water pressure didn't always allow him to freely slide down the slides. He had to constantly push himself to keep going down. After a couple hours there we ventured to the bigger side where, to my surprise, my son was tall enough for just about everything! We hung out in the lazy river for awhile then enjoyed all the big slides as most of them had pretty short wait times. The attendants at the slides were all nice. It took awhile sometimes to wait for an inflatable or racing mat for two of the slides, but after you get one you go right away. I actually enjoyed all the stairs too - most of the slides on the big side share the same stairwell, which surprisingly didn't get too crowded, but I got over 15,000 steps for the day going up and down those stairs about 8 times so I appreciated that. It was a nice family place with options for entertainment! We saw that they also had an arcade that we didn't check out, but it seemed like a lot of people were having fun there too. I'd say people of all ages were having a nice time here, especially with the live DJ in the lazy river - so fun!!
