Nice on Memorial Day weekend. Quiet.
The water needs to be cleaned but other the that good
I played there with my friends in the 70s , discussed boys and life in the 80s, partied there and stood by my best friend as she married the love of her life there, and took our own children there in the 90s , & most recently celebrated the life of someone special there. It is a very special place to me and many people ✨💕
We had a Halloween party there and it was wonderful. The kids got to dress up and go from trunk to trunk getting candy. Then we roasted hot dogs on the back grill which was close to the pavilion. It worked out great then afterwards the kids could play on the slide and swings. I would use this park again for a gathering.
Beautiful place would have been higher stars but a few things that bothered us... Like broken glass in the grass by the play areas where our kids where ( we cleaned up most of it but Im pretty sure theres more ) and the bathrooms where nasty I mean nnnnaaaassstttttyyyyy....
The pond had debris in it and is not well kept by the city. So sad
Its a nice place to go and sit to relax and get some fresh air ! Its closed now for winter but in the summer its a cool place to go for a park 😊
A very peaceful park I go there to relax and I enjoy the Ducks in the pond
Great park for kids. Great location and nice when not crowded. Nice pond and pavilion.
This park is nice. Some good play equipment for children, my 10-year old approves. Its clean, well maintain. Theres a covered picnic area and charcoal grills. I like to play Pokemon go here. There are two EX eligible gyms and four pokestops. Its also a nesting location.
Favorite park. Not too big for our 18 month old. She can climb on the playground, and use the swings. She LOVES the big cement camel and elephant.
We had the part for 3 hours for a trunk and treat for the kids. The pavilion was nice the only thing I didnt care for was theres no bathrooms. Yes there was outhouses but they were nasty.
❤️❤️ an amazing place to me.i remember going as a kid and feeding the ducks and now deeply enjoy taking my own daughter to do the same. My parents came and hung out here as young hippies❤️💖😊 have lots of pictures of Carrol park and will have to dig them up so I can post them in here..I went to yelp to write a review and was truly blown away no one had yet... Amateurs!
I have always loved visiting this beautiful and historic park. Plenty of grass to play in, a play structure for the kiddos and shade trees to rest under. Also features many grills, picnic tables, and a spacious pavilion. For the Pokemon Go players you will find 2 gyms and 3 stops.
Beautiful park. It has always been my favorite. Old tree went down
My granddaughter and I really enjoy this park. Its a nice little walk from our house and its always clean.
Its the nice Park just Wish it still had the ducks and other animals
Its a great quite place to bring your young children to play and safe.
This park has everything a family is looking for. A play area for the little ones, tennis courts and a open area for baseball. The duck pond is serene and it was enjoyable watching the ducks.
My favorite park always clean with lots of tables and I always get grill. Awesome place
Great clean fun place for kids and adults alike
Unfortunately this review is not great. As a child I remembering going to the park often. Playground had broken portions which were dangerous. Outdated needs work. Cage where all the ducks where housed no longer exists. 😪 Took my 3 kids there hoping for great time unfortunately we spent 15min there and went to a new park.
This is such a beautiful park in such a beautiful Neighborhood in Bay City. It has plenty of space to walk, with tons of Green space, a lot of stuff for kids to play on and the duck pond is a nice touch to it. Words cant describe it enough.
Lunch at Carroll Park with students...great place for children to play, pavillion for shade with many acres of grass and trees. The pond with geese, ducks and birds were beautiful!
I LOVE this park! Plenty of open spaces, but also equipment for the kids to play on. Thoroughly enjoyable place to visit.
Great place to play pickleball! New courts are great! Public is welcome
Its a good place to ride your bike and walk its good place to meet new people for if youre playing Pokemon go to but if you see that lying dont even bother going to it to get water its having working years
Ive been going here since I was little, the quality of the water has deteriorated, and the pens/shelters for the animals need upkeep but overall still a great park.
New pickleball courts are beautiful . Lots of players and great people .
Perhaps the best park around. Well spread out and not crowded. The care and maintenance to this park is outstanding and it really shows.
Always a nice park to walk your dog hang out at or take your kids on a nice day
Very beautiful an peaceful
Probably my favorite park in bay city. Great for many events. Wish we could get some more animals back and treated it better.
The park is pretty much run down. The local city commissioners wont let you feed the ducks in the park(they made it against the law!), its pretty trashy and outdated.
It is a BEAUTIFUL park, very well kept. Great for meeting up with friends or just clearing your mind.
Porta potty are gross but the park is nice.
It was a very pleasant place to hold are get together / birthday party,. Plenty of space for all ages. Enough parking close to facilities.
Great park with a good amount of covered picnic areas and toys/playground for the kids to keep them occupied.
Best park in bay city in a great arena. Old money! Love it.

A beautiful park, but could use some maintenance to be top quality.
Really like the animal water fountains. 😁
The water is super blue and dirty, Im not sure who cleans it. But otherwise cute little park to walk around in

2021-07-14Huge well maintained park with everything from pickle ball and a playground to a fountains and a collection of animal statues! Easy parking, lots of shade and places to sit. A pavilion...one of the best parks in the GLBR!
Review №2
2022-05-01The kids have so much fun on the play area, running from one slide to another. Its not as big as the park I grew up with, but its better than nothing.
Review №3
2020-08-31Very beautiful park right in the middle of town! Theres no shortage of room to roam among many old-growth trees, tennis courts, open grassy areas, and several places to picnic. Theres a childrens playscape area, a large gazebo surrounded by picnic tables, and even has a large charcoal grill... good for a family gathering!Dont miss the duck pond (parent supervision is a must here), and be sure to let the kids climb on the animal sculptures.Dont hesitate to enjoy a day with family and friends at Caroll Park!

2021-09-23This park is a charming place to go. Its a gathering place for the community around it. Families bring there kids here to play. Paddle ball every day for a club and yoga at night. Celebrations are had at the small building almost every week. Also the small pond they have is a great place to relax, some people will play guitar next to the pond on a bench. I highly recommend this park.
