    Stadium 26/30. Did…read morea Memorial Day weekend baseball trip to knock out some more stadiums on my road to see all 30. My Cardinals were in town, so that was a bonus. I planned on seeing 2 games here, but Sunday got rained out. I did get to catch Saturdays night game. I liked this stadium a lot! The stadium has great views from anywhere you stand/sit. I got a ticket in the upper deck right past 3rd base. That's usually my preferred seating area. You can see the whole field including the pitches pretty well, too. You also have a great view of the river from this stadium. Very peaceful! I liked how the stadium felt kind of "smaller". Ushers and staff were very friendly and they have a bunch of cool statues on the way into the park. Unfortunately, my Cardinals lost in 11 innings that night, but it was a great game, and I really enjoyed my time at the stadium. Parking was a couple blocks down the road on 4th/Race St via Park Whiz for only about $10.00. Can't beat that.

    I always love coming here during baseball season to watch the Reds. It's one of those places that's…read morejust consistently a good time. The seats are usually pretty affordable, the atmosphere is fun, and it never feels overwhelmingly crowded, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Parking is also super convenient, especially with how close the garages are, and getting in and out of the stadium is really easy. I also appreciate that you can bring your own food and even a small cooler, which honestly helps a lot. That being said, the prices inside the stadium have gotten absolutely outrageous. I understand that this is pretty standard across most stadiums, but there's definitely room for improvement. It would be great to see them take a step back and reevaluate pricing across the board, or at least offer some kind of deals or special promotions on certain days. Otherwise, I could genuinely see it turning people away over time. Overall, it's still a really fun place to spend a day or evening, and I'll definitely keep coming back. I just hope they make some adjustments to keep it accessible for everyone.

    I almost didn't want to write this review ... because this truly is a hidden gem and I don't want…read moreit to get too crowded! But, I think I've kept this awesome Burlington trail a secret for long enough. Let me start by saying that there is a park area with a playground and covered shelter and grill that looks nice and clean! On our most recent visit, there was a big cookout going on, and all of the parking spaces in the small lot were full. Don't be concerned if that's the case when you arrive ... there's plenty of street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood. And - even if the play area is full of people, we've never seen another person on the actual trail beneath the park. This trail is not for hiking amateurs. You can except a VERY steep climb back uphill at the end of your visit. There is a side path that's a little less steep - but it's very rocky with lots of switchbacks. I definitely recommend this trail for more experienced hikers. If you are a beginner and still want to check it out, just be sure you know what you're getting into. It's definitely worth the climb! My husband and I often bring our dogs for a quick spin around this trail, on both weekday and weekend mornings. When you get down to the actual river, there's plenty of wildlife to check out. Most recently, we enjoyed the blooming Honeysuckle plants, but steered clear of a few snakes in the water. Be sure to watch where you step. Check out Gunpowder Creek the next time you're looking for a unique nature hike with a bit of a challenge. You won't be disappointed.

    Very fun trails to walk around or run on. We had 2 dogs that we let loose to run around and explore…read morethe creek and they had plenty of space to not bother other hikers! Only downside is the way back to the car is a 1/4 mile hill that will take your breath away if you are not in the best shape lol. Great fun park all around.
