âNice park with plenty of parking, shaded picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. The playground is a good size for kids to play on and enjoy. I really like the nice walking path it has as well. The park is clean and well kept with bathrooms and a water fountain. It even has a little garden areaâ

âLove this park. The walking path is well marked and has 2 distances with water fountains every so often with separate access for humans and dogs. The trail would be great for roller blading as out is quite wide. For the most part, the other Park patrons are considerate and quite friendly. I've only once seen a dog without a leash and that was only briefly. There are two full service bathrooms, wanted each end of the park that are quite clean. And last, there is this free speech designated area that appears to be a location where you can curse your head off if you get permission ahead of time (see photo).â

âMy husband and I enjoyed this place. There is a paved path around the park with some exercise places and has a fence all the way around. The park has a decent amount of benches around the playground. I was surprised how big the playground and that some of it is under shade. The best part is that they have a butterfly garden and it was amazing to see all the monarchs flying around. Will be back again.â

Overview
Matzke Park offers a fully paved walking trail - wide enough for rollerblading - with water fountains at regular intervals featuring separate spouts for humans and dogs. The playground is large with significant shade coverage. Hidden areas tucked into tree clusters are a hit with kids. A butterfly garden adds a nature discovery element. Picnic tables, grills, and clean restrooms complete the amenities.
