There used to be a school (no longer there). Two of the four picnic tables are new (but they all look brand new to me). He has maintained the open pavilions above the tables too. The grounds and structures are well maintained and everything is clean. This is a great place for a little picnic! Be aware that you need to walk up a few stairs to get to the nice, flat, level area.

A few sections could use some attention and cleaning, but overall well-kept. We had a good time and enjoyed the riverwalk afterwards.

This place is truly one of the best gems in Saint Joseph. We have been bringing my daughter here…read moreonce a month for nearly three years and it never gets old. The location is right next to the Missouri River and has a gorgeous view. There is a lovely little porch with chairs and picnic tables. The center provides binoculars and books to help identify local birds. My daughter loves the huge fish tank display of native fish. She also enjoys the tortoises and the snakes in the Snake Room. They are almost always having a scavenger hunt for the kids with prizes. Personally, I enjoy browsing the reading material in the little store and have bought several books. There is a very detailed exhibit on the history of Saint Joseph which is really interesting. It includes details that I have not read about anywhere else. So if you enjoy history, you should definitely pay this place a visit.

There are several spots with dog waste bags to use. I only seen a garbage can by the gate. It would be nice to have more garbage cans to throw waste. It would also be nice if people would be respectful and pick up after their dogs. I managed to see several piles of poo. If everyone does their part the park will stay nice. My fur babies loved the place and we will be back.

The water fountain and the poo stations are conveniently placed. Some attendees need to reread the dog park etiquette but this is still one of the best dog parks I've been too out of many cities. Plus, 5 dollars a year for the membership is soooo reasonable.

This time there is toilet paper in only one out of 3 stalls in the women's restroom and soap in one out of two dispensers in same restroom. We had the first game of the evening so apparently nothing was filled from the night before. It is a tournament so it should be common sense that there will be a lot of spectators, players and coaches at this event. There was all day up to our 5:30 game to check the facilities. Very nice complex, just needs some attention!
