    It was quiet in March but you could tell it would be a popular summer spot. There are lost of easy waling trails, mostly paved. Great overlooks along the river and plenty of pretty picnic spots...

    Great place for a walk. Shady, cement paths, many things to do. Many people walk dogs. Safe atmosphere.

    We love Amerson Park. We go here quite often. They have plenty of paved trails that are light and not a lot of elevation changes. They have gravity work out machines and a shaded play ground for children that is moderately sized. They have e a very large main pavilion with an additional few around the park. They also have a beautiful river overlook and places for tubing! Large fields for flying kites, make shift football games and other sports. You can also rent the main pavilion and have party's there. I have even seen weddings here as well.

    We love Amerson. It's a great area to go walking with kids and we always feel safe. They recently added a new trail that we love too. Highly recommend!!
