A Sunday staple May through October with regional growers, bakers, and honey producers. Run by the city’s Parks & Recreation and frequently listed on community calendars.
They have a nice playground, soccer court, tennis court, pickleball courts, splash pad. New convenient parking next to the soccer and pickleball courts. Pavilions, grills.

This park is one of our favorites in Cedar Rapids. It has everything that we like in a park. A lit of open space, a variety of playgrounds, and a splash pad for our young family members. Shelter houses for big events or reunions. There is tons of parking for everyone. They have paths as well. The bathrooms are nicely maintained and clean. The City of Hiawatha shows how much they care about this vy how well they keep it. This is a park dog friendly. Walking your dogs is great, with lots of trees and open areas. Which means you can picnic just as much. We've been coming for years and plan to keep on.

Just a few minutes off the main Expressway if you need to stretch your legs, eat and use the restroom.
The park is well kept, clean, has bathrooms, a pavilion and walking paths all near the parking lot.
Stroller and wheelchair friendly.
Lots of shade.

This is a decent mid-size park. There is one sitting-style pavilion and one open-stage pavilion. There's also a mini outdoor amphitheater with three rows with some decent artwork. There are two playgrounds, one for toddlers and another (under renovation) for Elementary-aged kids. A splash pad is also functional, appropriate for smaller children. The two tennis courts are under renovation (as of July 2021). The trail is about half a mile (loop) with adequate shade. There are also two ball parks here (softball and baseball). The park is well manicured and the trees provide great shade for picnics or just relaxing. Note that this park is in the middle of a residential area, with an elementary school across the road on one end.
I hope you'll enjoy the park as much as I did!

If Hiawatha wants to level this park up even more, add a small-medium sized skatepark (see Butterfield Skatepark in Marion as example)

Really wish they would pay more attention to the port-a-potties!

Things i like about this park. Farmers market is a plus. But today over my lunch i noticed all these people walking this path so i parked and I was grateful for sunshine and fresh air in December .
