Archer (William Beatty) Park

A clean, spacious park with a walking path, a well-liked splash pad and consistently clean bathrooms — but the water feature is reported constantly closed, there is nowhere quiet to sit, and the rubber matting is wearing out.

Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
