Isle of Ferns Park

This park is beautiful!!! It's pretty small but it's absolutely beautiful! It's like you're in a magical fairy garden. Wish I had a kayak to launch off their little dock to explore the park that way. Only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is we stopped to enjoy the view of the river at one of the little beaches hidden in the trees and there was garbage, used toilet paper and a needle floating in the river. Absolutely disgusting. I hate people. This isn't the parks fault but something to pay attention to if you go exploring off the trails. The trails and the rest of the park were very well maintained and clean!

The playground was pretty big and had a lot of fun stuff to play on. But the playground equipment was mainly for bigger kids. They had a tiny slid and baby swings but the rest was more for big kids. Hard to climb stuff that is. The merry go round was neat it had stuff to climb and hang on. The walking trails are pretty well maintained but I did have to walk over a couple of down trees. They had a few little beach areas to stop at with picnic tables. And it was dog friendly as long as they where leashed.

A small island park with a nice short trail, and some absolutely beautiful water views. Ample parking at the entrance which is adjoined to another park. There is a large open space with street lamps, and a few picnic tables, but not much else on the island itself no restrooms, grills, trashcans, or shelters, though you will find those at Oak Island Park. We had a great time hiking the trail. Lots of birds and other forest critters, and several areas with beautiful flowers. There's a real sense of peace here. Be sure to see the rest of the Riverwalk while you're here! There are a few Pokestops on the island, and MANY more and gyms in close proximity.

Lovely, mostly shaded, loop trail. It's not too long, but it definitely feels shorter than it is. The lights in the field make it seem like Narnia.

Was there for bluesfest and it's always a blast! Love be having fun with these people and this is the perfect place to host!

Great little park in the heart of the city. The park lives up to it's namesake. There are ferns absolutely everywhere. Well worth a walk around the place, even if you've only got 30 minutes or so.

Not safe at night. A lot of homeless and a few are threatening.

Very clean, beautiful park by the river for picnicking, walking, relaxing..also newer playground

Beautiful walking areas with all the ferns coming in this time of year end of May. Great views of the river. Lots of bird watching opportunities. Many people fishing in areas off the path, so you don't really run into anyone.Public restrooms: NoOff-leash dog area: NoPicnic tables: Yes

Cool walking path near the river. I always enjoy hiking the little loop. Gorgeous trees and lots of critters too. There are picnic areas and a playground that is well kept.
