4 reviews for Kirkwood Park
What is it with parks these days taking all the danger out of playing?! Gone are the massive wooden, super-splinter structures that used to crest the landscape of the park. Gone is the whimsy they afforded, it was more like climbing in trees, and best for imaginary scenarios. I can't quite remember what has replaced them, but I imagine they threw in those terrible, sterile, primary-colored iron things.
This was a safe park where my mom would turn my brother and I loose (my brother, specifically because he really was a leash kid). It's expansive, groomed and also home to the Greentree Festival (translation: Frito pie served IN the Frito bag). Also where we watched the fireworks, had summer camp and family picnics, played in the huge cement sprinkler and blue gill fished.
I basically grew up at Kirkwood Park. Writing this review made me realize I need to go back and see what the years have done to it.
I love Kirkwood Park, I take my puppy on a walk here everyday after work. It's not obnoxiously big and there are always people there, and always a lot of dogs so Fitzgerald can make new friends.
Me and my lova come here a lot when it's nice for picnics and to play frisbee. And with all the wind, there are a lot of pretty kites everywhere.
It's simple, nice and always has stuff going on.
Love it.

Tis place is neat. We went here on a class field trip. It is very large and you can do whatever you want there. Tehy have large, open fields and a lake for fishing. You can ride bikes and walk your dogs, too. Go here for a picnic one day. It's very lovely.
I came here last week to watch a softball game and remembered that I had ventured here ages ago to watch fireworks, which were fabulous!
The park offers a plethora of tennis courts, baseball fields, volleyball courts, and other fun flings for the sports fanatic. They host the annual Green Tree Festival (48th this year) as well, which I will be attending this weekend. Lots of local artists, crafts, food, and games. See you there!
