Isaac Evans Park

This a simple park along the Green River. It has two ends about ½ a mile apart and a suspension pedestrian bridge over the river to a neighborhood.
Oct is not the best time of the year to visit since the Salmon have spawned in the river and are dying — so the smell in some sections is not pleasant. Also there is NO restroom in the fall and winter — apparently you do not need to go to the restroom when the summer is over.
We enjoyed the nice quite walk which was about 1 mile round trip from the north end — crossing the bridge — and back.
Dedicated in 1989, and named for an early pioneer, who farmed along the Green River.
The park’s connection to Dykstra Park via the suspension bridge increases its accessibility to local residents and is an appealing feature for visitors. A paved trail runs around the circumference of the park.
The woods on the outside perimeter of the trail remain in their natural condition. Scattered throughout the grassy space on the inside of the trail are clusters of picnic tables, a picnic shelter, restroom facilities and playground equipment.
It appears to have been fixed up a little since Anthony’s review and the picnic tables and sitting benches seem to be in good repair.

A beautiful stretch of land along the Green River. Walking trails, open grass areas, river access (by foot only). There’s a pedestrian bridge over the river to the connecting neighborhood. Picnic pavilion and grills, too.
The good: It’s a gorgeous area. The trails are great for walking or bicycling. Big old trees, and the river’s right there.
The bad: The playground is old and beat to hell. The picnic tables are generally thrashed and tagged. The restrooms are in a nice building, but they’re standard park restrooms – good for emergencies only.
This park would really be a jewel if Auburn would put a little money into replacing the playground and grills and more aggressively maintaining the place. Lots of families use Isaac Evans Park. Give it some TLC, Auburn!
