River Lights Plaza: what do users think?
Edward Edward: Stopping by this DTSB South Bend venue always brings a smile to my face. The lights bring additional focus to the East Race water way. It is marvelous to see the development in the area, including the new water turbo system that Notre Dame has installed to reduce the Universities carbon footprint. Beautiful and innovative!
Mayuresh Arankalle: Great place to spent evening in fall with your loved one, kids dogs. Great view of river lights with ice staking next to howard park.
Jeanne Lanthier: From Emporium parking lot I was drawn to the lights. I took some great shots. It was beautiful
Les Dabney: Beautiful night scenes
Jennifer Heldring: It was beautiful!! Unfortunately the gates were locked around 9pm and we couldn't find a place to get in and see the 3 pillars. It also looked like a lot of the Riverwalk was under construction. There was parking directly across the river from the art museum but we didn't know until later. There are ramps to get down to the river and it's not that steep. Fun experience! Will have to go back when construction is finished for full access though
First “Sprouts”: Nice to walk around and get fresh air.
chris decraene: Was spectacular display.
Sir Lewiston: Hello, it wasn’t operational due to remodeling

Jaeigh Aye: It is so beautiful at night! And honestly it's my absolute favorite place to go while being in South Bend. If you ever visit the South Bend / Mishawaka area than it's a must that you visit this place! You will not regret it, that I guarantee you!
Penny Grish: This was beautiful. My husband and I will definitely be back
Sherrena Wright: Very Nice
Dee Edmonds: It's beautiful
Stevie Frank: Downtown South bend is better than New York
Tyrone Guyton: A beautiful place to live.
Jamie Johnson: Such a beautiful park! Definitely 1 of my favs
Bridget Martin: I was actually very disappointed in our visit to this location. While I get that it was under construction, even the areas that weren't were not really very impressive despite the positive reviews that were left by other visitors. I may try to visit again once the updates have been made to find out if it's worthy of a better review.
Cliff Scott: Really a nice surprise on my trip from the airport to my hotel.
Steve Frank: I love River lights plaza old people shoplift there and they put their pictures on the wall

Seitz Park: what do users think?
Marshall Robinson: Surrounding establishment’s parking lots will leave it only accessible by the hike and bike trail.AM General has it’s own two parking lots: one on the north; and the other on the south sides of it’s building.There was access to Seitz Park from Colfax Street on a drive all side the shirt factory apartments .The new apartments being built next door turn the drive and the parking lot private.The only access to parking is a lot accessible from Hill Street between AM General’s south parking lot and one on the north side of the Emporium, which is all to often closed for Emporium events.It is honorable park with a vibrant view of the downtown’s skyline.Right now, the park is under construction due Notre Dame’s hydroelectric damn - darn near two years.It will be tourist attraction that will rival any spectacle in town.It is on a peninsula in the Saint Joe river in the Heart of South Bend.

Haberdasher Heather: AWESOME park. We LOVE ❤️ the nature play area and Story Walk.
Jackie Acker Garland (Chicago Photo Mom): April 1 and on they charge a fee, but for now, it is free to enter. The playground is adorable with a little red barn. There is also a nature park that I LOVE with tree stumps and other natural things to climb on.
Robert Basker: The only bad experience I have had here is when the DNR showed up ten minutes into fishing.Playground: Large playground. Nicely kept facility.
Justin Brewer: Always a beautiful hike along the trails.
Matthew Webber: Very nice lots of variety in the trails
Kelly Gaylord: From rustic barns to riverside trails, and the river ramble play area (very unique, hands on park for adults and kids alike to hang out and explore!), St Pat’s County Park has something fun for everyone!! In particular the barns were super cute for some artsy shots with friends and to walk around and enjoy the pretty flowers.The hiking trails are very pleasant and even get a little hilly as you approach Bertrand Park. They are admittedly not well marked—I wandered from St Pats into Bertrand park (technically in Michigan) without even knowing it. I loved all the greenery and flowers blooming all over during the spring.Definitely visit this park, it’s so lovely!

Including some engagement/wedding photos. So if that doesn't give you an idea of how gorgeous this place is (especially in the fall) then I don't know what to tell you.There is a fee for admission
Carol Leedy: My favorite park! Lots of scenic trails and year round activities like sledding and cross country skiing.
James Funk: Beautiful park, and great hiking trails.

Kennedy Water Park: what do users think?
Katy Samm: This is the perfect place for kids up to age 10? To get wet
shane rager: Sage loves the slide and the lifeguards are super nice... yay!!!
Sasha Jilkine: Very nice pool for little ones, but hours not update on Google. Went there during the week and it was closed in mid-august.
Emily Crisler: Expensive for what it is. We swam for about 5 minutes before they decided to close early because the “chlorine levels were off”. Also, very ghetto area. Parking lot had people blasting very loud vulgar music and broken glass everywhere.
Daran O'Neill: Plenty staff and life guards to keep it right. 5 dollar to get in. Dont look at the other pictures. No pets allowed. I wanted to bring my dogs.
David Rebeles: Sorry but I did not really visit there,though I was in direct vicinity of park as my visit to my Grandsons home was directly across street of...though appeared very nice & very populated with activity.
Susan Kirkpatrick: My daughter and I were there 7-15-22 and the woman at the payment window was the RUDEST person ever.Clearly doesn’t enjoy her job and she was thoroughly annoyed that we showed up at 11:15 am and she had to take a break from eating her lunch. Licking her fingers and picking her teeth as she took my information before entering the little park. Definitely don’t want to go back and encounter her again
Janine Gallagher: Very nice little splash pool...good for younger children and children with special needs ... Water is very shallow.. might be 20inches deep in the middle section... Price is fairly reasonable... Cost Under 2 free ages 3 - 10 is $4. ages 11 and up $5 a person... BONUS - THEY DO ALLOW FOOD & DRINK TO BE BROUGHT IN!! ... There is a Concession Area that offers Drinks, Cotton Candy, Candy and Chips.. There is a Cute Little Park outside the fenced off water park...
Ever Bonilla: Our first trip to Anakeesta!!! We loved it!! and I will come back again in the name of God 🙏🏻 beautiful and beautifully designed! ❣️❤️
Albert Palicki: Wish there were better seating options here but my little one loves it.
Chris A: Great place for the kids. Young new swimmer too.
MeChelle Brooke: I spent over $20 for about 6hrs and we were only in the water for maybe half that time. They kept doing 15min breaks every hour.Then they said 20 extra minutes after the 15 to shock the pool that turned into 90min.I most likely will not be back.
Marina R. Chew (Dolly): Apparently they close at 6:45
Queen Icy: Love this water park!!!! It's the best in town
Richard “Asshole” Heritz: Nice place to walk around or to take the kids to play on the playground or too teach him how to play soccer on a soccer field with the goal pose.

Chenetta Fox: Loved it
Alex Banegas: Lindo
Brittany Glover: Great for little kids! And safe. They do have snack bar there too
Michelle Holt: Concession is good pool has a slide the pool is only 1ft 6inc so 5 stars
Tressa: My kids enjoyed themselves, but my 3 year old daughter was knocked down a couple times, by older kids, it was a lot of bigger kids there, it should be a age limited on the kids allowed to be in there
