Always well kept clean and safe park. Has everything for singles or families. Playgrounds for children, tennis courts, basketball courts, water park (during summer dates), pet friendly park (leashes mandatory), walking or jogging pathways around entire park, picnic tables, barbque and on special event days you can pre-order gazebos! Public restrooms, vending machines. The park does have closing hours so I suggest you pay attention to times or you will be ran out. Usually 10:00 p.m. Safe park and well established area. Beautiful park!

I didn't realize this museum was as big as it is; I only had time to see about half their collection, but what I did see was truly impressive. Definitely don't miss out on the florescent display, and the petrified wood that's one of the first things you see as you walk back is incredible, as is the scrimshaw.

Their prices in the gift shop are almost too good to be true, but I mentioned it and the gentleman working there said that since they're a nonprofit museum they want to make sure things are priced accessibly, which is really cool.

I'm so bummed I wasn't able to do the sluice grab bag activity, it looks like so much fun! I'll have to make time for that next time I come.
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a Rogue Valley Zipline Adventure. Our dynamic and hilarious guides, Brownie Scout and Pancake, taught us everything we needed to know, including gearing up correctly, before we zipped into this 5-stage forest adventure! We were thrilled!!!
Amazing experience! We Ziplined with 4 boys age 11-14 to celebrate our son’s birthday. Guides Fungi and Short Stack were great! They made us feel safe and we had a lot of fun!

Was a lot nicer but gets worse every week. A lot of the plants are dying by the bridge. The water is disappearing. Basically the grass and plants are being murdered but hey, you put sprinklers here and there and oh let the rest die. Nice. They need to plant more plants and trees and let the grass grow , maintain the water instead of having it look like a dried out ditch which it will soon. A lot of potential getting wasted.
EPIC. Finale was 1,000ft across canyon 200+ft in the air! Staff (Pancake & Brownie Scout) were so amazing - super fun and informative - safety being #1. We will be back for more!
The course was fun and way more entertaining than I expected. Managed to stay reasonably cool on the course even though it was 103 out. Pancake and Brownie Scout were awesome guides, some laughs were definitely shared. Pancake had tons of knowledge of the area, he even pointed out some cool spots on the river to go relax and cool off on our way out of town. Will definitely visit again.
Our guides Ben (Pancakes) and Hannah (Nanners) were super friendly, clear, helpful, and entertaining! They were thorough with ensuring the safety of our group, with both simple explanations of systems involved being more than capable as well as friendly and timely reminders to ensure everyone had a safe and great time! And Ben kept the dad jokes rolling, which I loved!
It is amazing. There's a big playground with slides, swings, monkey bars, etc. There's a mini outdoor water park. Plenty of free grass land, basketball court, and tennis court, the only complaint I have is that the vending machine has been broken for like 4-5 years.
Really great playground, my kiddo loved it. Great location, has a restroom, basketball court, swings. Seemed safe, easy access if you live near by. Seemed like a lot of people walk their dogs around there. This park looked very clean and close to sunset I felt some mosquitos but that seems normal around this season.
My husband and son had a blast. John Daily and Hanna are the absolute best team. Can't say enough about. You will have a great time.
This museum is awesome! We weren't expecting it to be as large as it was but it took us atleast a hour to get through the whole thing. So many great artifacts to see & learn about. They have done a great job at educating local history. We went on kids day and son(11yr old) had a blast doing the scavenger hunt. We can't wait to come back! Thanks for a great experience 😃

Absolutely awesome rocks and minerals. The prices were very reasonable for the size and quality. I went when they were having a show.i don't remember the gentleman's name, but he was nice and knowledgeable.
Rogue Valley Ziplines is an awesome adventure place. Their staff is super knowledgeable and keeps you safe, while also making sure they throw their enthusiasm in and making sure everyone has a fun time. I would definitely go back again anytime I get the chance. This is a great spot to stop in the Rogue Valley if you have some time to enjoy it on a nice day.

What a gem of a museum! Definitely add to your activity itinerary when visiting Ashland. The staff is friendly and highly knowledgeable about each exhibit in the museum.
Cute little roadside cemetery that I thoroughly enjoyed. Just be sure not to stray too far off the beaten path into the baneful vegetation.
Walk in and you will be hooked! As a newer rockhounder, this place is an inspiration to keep going on adventures and see whether you find. They have taught me so much and I continue to keep learning more!
The grounds themselves were pristine. (Especially true since the Parks and Recreation Maintenance Crew were finishing up with their mowing and trimming as my friend, her husband, son, and I arrived!) This park has a nice blend of sunny sidewalks to follow and shady pavilions with picnic tables to sit in. The flowering trees were in full bloom and beautiful. My only complaint was a Parks and Rec Maintenance member chose to ask us to have my friend's toddler son not touch a water feature. To be fair, the water fountain had one side with guardrails in front of it; however, there was plenty of open space surrounding it where anyone could walk up to it and touch it through the grate it was splashing through. There was no signage saying not to touch and certainly other people take a moment to feel the water who visit. While I give grace for such encounters, and we did comply, it was noteworthy enough to remove a star from our experience at this particular park.
Yogurt and the Postman were great funny guides. Made sure safety was number one then fun. Very informative on how to ride, the views. Family friendly. This is the second time we have been there. We will be back again soon.

The park was great! However, very sad to say the kids there were very rude to my son!

It's a nice little community park with a playground, basketball hoops, bathroom, and a little stream running through. The rules say dogs must be leashed. People do occasionally break this rule, but please don't if you don't have full control of the dog to keep it away from other dogs, people, kids, and out of the road. And please clean up after your dog because kids play in the grass! They provide dog bags and trash cans.

This cemetery is very old I seen dates in the 1800's. I went and cleaned up 2 headstones. And will be returning to clean some more. It's so sad that some get forgotten about. Overall it's a real neat cemetery to walk through. Lots of really neat headstones.

The Crater Rock Museum is really cool, they have lots of amazing and interesting exhibits. Mother nature is amazing and this place has so many different kinds of rocks and formations along with hand made item from various stones & rocks.

You enter through the gift shop (lot of neat things to see in there too) then you pay to enter the museum. They give you a map so you can take your time walking around all the rooms.

Cost $14 for 2 people. WELL WORTH IT! We spent over an hour here.

Parking if free, they have a small parking lot. But we did see a Class a RV parked there.

Used to consider this a safe and fun park to hang out at. My last few visits messed me up so bad that I won't be back. The bathroom super hot with no ventilation. The people at the park with dogs were careful not to leave their dog doo behind. (Thankfully). Both times I went the park was busy with all ages and their families. I went to sit in my car and read because it was getting too crazy. 5 min setting in my car, a dark haired teenaged girl, came over and grabbed my passenger door handle. I had that window cracked and watched her to see how far she'd go. When she seen me, she ran off. The next evening I attempted to go back, considering the night before was a fluke. All was going well until it didn't. As I set in my car reading, I seen something close to my door and when I looked up a white mini van was super close to ripping my whole left side of my car off. Then went on to attempt to hit the front end of my car. I left a short time later and haven't been back. It's really sad how unsafe you are, even when your just sitting in your car. I gave the park 3 stars because the whole park is beautiful and super peaceful when empty or just a few people around.

We take our dogs here every day. They have poo bags and it's kept up great! Our dogs think it's their yard!🥰🐕🐕
Very nice park! It has a 2 usable BBQ pits each with 4 tables under its own high canopy separated by 9 beautiful trees and grass, MANY trash cans, LARGE playground though unfortunately not covered but has 3 slides also a small water park for the summer. A tennis court. Walkways around entire park. Dog friendly for friendly dogs. Plenty enough parking. A beautiful memorial.

A very nice and inexpensive way to spend about an hour looking around at interesting rocks and fossils from around the world. The staff is nice and parking is alway available. The only thing is I wish that they had is a guided tour. I think 90 % of the people stepping inside have no idea what they are looking at other than it looks "cool". Who knows maybe they do offer is to schools as a field trip but I have never seen it myself. I must say over all a nice smaller museum.

Pretty nice little park not far from commerce centers. We grabbed some fast food then came here to let our 3-year-old get some energy out before continuing along our trip. It has a play structure, swings, ample grassy area, basketball court, a couple benches, one picnic table, and even a “Little Free Library”! The bathroom is open dawn to dusk, but closed entirely from November 1 to March 15. The grass is soggy, but I guess that’s Oregon for ya. I would have given that 5th star if the bathroom was open.

If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
Such a fun park. Lots of grassy area to run around and play. Has a nice play area but kinda directed towards little bit older children. They do have a little kids playset but it's small. But the water park is great for all ages and the kids always have so much fun. There are also lots of benches and some tables for sitting. Public restrooms available as well. Walking through the memorial area is truly touching and beautiful. It's a must see when there.
Great in the summer when the water is working, bathrooms are not kept very clean and there is not much shade, bring your own shade and chairs. If the weather is nice then plan for the parking lot to be full. The last time we went there were about a dozen celebrations going on throughout the whole park. If you want guaranteed use of the gazebo you have to reserve it through central point parks, you can do so on their website. If you don't reserve it there is a good chance you will have to vacate for groups with reservations. I would also encourage you to take some time to appreciate the memorial area, it is very well done.
