Love this park. It's great for walks/jogs around the lake. There are several benches to sit and relax and there is a children's park as well.

I live down the street from this park and spend lots of time there. The fishing is so so. You tend to catch some of the smaller fish. The bigger ones are a little more crafty and elusive. I've seen some big carp swimming around so I know they're in there. I mostly go to the park for my photography, There's few different types of water fowl I've come across such as the typical canadian geese as well as mallard ducks. I've also seen great egrets and double crested cormorants. There's also a few blackbirds that live there. It's a nice place for wildlife photography as well as macro photography if you're into such things.

Very nice place the sit and relax. They also stock the lake with trout, bass and a few other fish so you can catch them. Good for the kids also because they have a playground and areas to have picnics

Been taking my daughter here since the spring of 2012. The playgrounds are great & well maintained and the path around the pond makes for a good stroll and/or jog. Be mindful when using the grassy areas as geese graze here regularly .

If in Garfield, Dahnert will be the best due to the ambiance. Century will come in at 2nd...

Can you walk a dog on the path?

I believe so as usual but the dog needs to be on a leash most likely and you have to bag the dogs droppings as per normal standards

Years ago, we used to skate on the pond at Dahnerts Lake (if this is the same place-the 1 next to the Garfield Police station) Sometimes, there was a BIG RED BALL posted on a pole. Was that red ball indicating "no skating"? or "skating allowed"?

"The ball is up" means it's skating weather. Skating allowed when you see the red ball up.
