This park is a beautiful place especially today with the sun shining; a nice cool breeze flowing through and the scenery is just gorgeous. There are benches so that you can sit down and look at the water spirited up from the pond. It is such a serene place you will never want to leave. And it is very clean.

Nice and beautiful Civic Center Park, but it needs to be operating the water.

I love this park. The Lady, the fountains, the roses, the trees. It's just a nice, peaceful place to go and relax.

Very peaceful here. I love the geese, I hate that there poop is everywhere. It's so peaceful because all the buildings are empty. I assume they'll empty The Fountains again because of the drought. That's what they did last time. The geese will all leave. That always makes me kind of sad. It is what it is. Nice place to walk your dog.

Always take strolls here with my dog. It's very nice to look at with a lot of history around and plaques to read. Paths are pretty well maintained, I only wish the water in the fountains was better kept since it can get pretty gross. Other than that, I do like this park very much.

Nice park, clean, lots of shade from trees, many benches in good condition. I would have rated it 5 stars, but the homeless guys on the premises made us nervous. We enjoyed watching a large flock of ravens and the lovely fountains, while there.
