    What makes it fun

    Every year, up to 700,000 people visit Antioch Park. Two fishing lakes, over 3 miles of paved walking paths, a rose garden, tennis courts, a boardwalk, picnic shelters, a gazebo, basketball court, bocce ball court, restrooms, and play areas are among the amenities offered by the 44-acre park. With a fountain, gazebo, perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses, bulbs, and an estimated 500 different roses, the Helen S. Cuddy Rose Garden is a lovely location for a romantic moment. The Memorial Arboretum, which borders the Helen S. Cuddy Rose Garden, provides quiet walkways for contemplative and leisurely strolls.

    Why are they not keeping the ponds cleaned up. Quite the disappointment to the rest of the beauty in the park

    Loved it, rented a covered pavilion. Reasonably priced. Next to a large pond with fountains. I'll definitely go back

    I go very early in the morning when it's quiet and you hear just the nature sounds and Is the water. My mother passed away two days ago and it's been really hard and I went this morning and it was just very peaceful

    Great place to take your family, a partner, have q graduation party - basketball and tennis courts... large pond with fountains and paved, shaded walking paths make for a great experience. Parking can get a bit full but there are two entrances and the second entrance is usually less busy. Well maintained and has actual clean bathrooms. Love this park overall!

    Beautiful! The lake has lily pads around the edge of the water and it looks like a dream. This area was perfect for our kayaking and paddle boating adventures!

    What a fantastic park! Plenty of roaming space, lakes with bridges,fountains and stepping stones.....There is an " old town village" with individual buildings for kids to roam in and out ,as well as a statue of a pony to climb on near the Pony Corral.The playground area actually has 3 different ( or more) play areas of varying degrees of skills for kids to play on.This ALSO helps relieve the congestion of everyone playing on the one main set.

    Such a beautiful park with lots of ducks, squirrels, birds. Spring and summer time have flowers. Kids playing area, nice and clean place for walking, and hiking trails.

    What fun morning! Lots for kids to do. & plenty of covered picnic areas. Great walk around the lake (wheelchair accessible) with close parking.

    This is one of my favorite little parks and has a nice walking path with various flower gardens or just space the pond is adorable. If you want to take your kids they have a very large playground area and picnic area I actually have more than one pond.
