The playground has an extensive collection of swings, spinning pieces, climbing and sliding pieces and even a challenging piece designed for balancing. There are trash cans and benches for convenience of the parents too! At the front of the park is a large shelter area right next to the parking. There are lots of tables inside, so the layout, though a bit densely spaced, is convenient. Beyond the playground to the south is a baseball field. Review #2442

This park is located along the one way street River Road on the north end of Shelbyville. It has a…read morecentral shelter with restrooms, picnic tables, and a grill. A playground is located near the shelter and benches and swings are found elsewhere in the park too. There appears to be some paved trails in the park, but some are incomplete and stop randomly. An unpaved trail has been worn from the lawn area to the nearby river. When the water level is down like during my visit, it is possible to walk along the shore, though there may still be some water standing along the way. There were some narrow footpaths through the undergrowth as well, but I did not follow those. The park seems to be suited for relaxing under the shade trees or for strolling about. Not many other activities appear to be established here. Review #860

Since getting back into bowling in a big way this winter, I am checking out bowling lanes whenever…read moreI find them. Pulling into the parking lot, it looked like they might be closed since there were only two cars in the parking lot. Once inside, I discovered a side entrance that most people were using and additional parking in a side lot. They have a total of 24 lanes here. I found the whole place to be well lighted and more welcoming than some. Plus there was no blaring music interfering with my concentration. The price was four dollars a game on a Friday afternoon. The snack bar was closed but there were two vending machines for drinks and snacks. It was not crowded at all. A group of seniors was bowling in the middle of the lanes, and another group at the one end, and a few of us at the opposite end. There is an empty space between the lockers and the rental cashier counter station in the center that I understand will be a future arcade. I bowled my usual three games. The scoring system is okay but could be better. Anyone watching can see the stats, such as ball speed, pins left, etc., but by the time I get back to see the screen, that info is gone too quickly. The system at my home lanes, displays that info all the time and much more, such as top possible score and has a six digit code or a QR code to pair with an app on your phone to keep your scores and stats. The restrooms were nice and clean, plus well stocked. There is no T-Mobile signal inside this building and only two bars (part of the time) in their big parking lot. I like this bowling alley and would return to bowl again.

The condition of both is okay with the playground equipment seeming to be in pretty good shape. The shade helps keep the kids cool while playing. The shelter has restrooms available, tables and grills too. There doesn't seem to be any walking trails and there is a concrete pad near the playground that has no obvious purpose. Not sure if it was something that was removed, or something that failed to get added. Review #857

Everything looked to be in good condition and though the park is over 100 years old, it is holding up well! The only thing that I can think of as a negative is beyond the park's control: There are one way streets that can be challenging to get to the park from downtown if you aren't familiar with the area. A fun place with mature trees and easy access to amenities throughout the park. Review #2062
