Adventure Cove is a great place to take the whole family. They have a refreshment stand, 3 big slides, Lazy River and kids area thats shallow on 1 end and 4 ft on opposite end. Plenty of chairs, huge umbrellas to keep you in the shade. Not allowed to bring food or drinks in. Adult price is 7.00 which is great, dont have to go broke to take the kids for a fun day.

A good park with plenty of open space. There is a playground and a skate park here as well. A creek does run through the West side of the park. So, its something to be aware of with kids. There is also an outdoor amphitheatre near the playground and tennis courts on the East side of the property. There is a lot to do here and worth the visit.

Rose Park has been around for decades. Its a good-sized park with lots of room for kiddos to run around, play, and wear themselves out. This is great for the children AND the parents. There are quite a few things to do at this park for kids AND for grown-ups, too. (Oscar) Rose Park has a baseball/ softball field, a basketball court, a large playground, a decent skate/hockey park, a tennis court, a volleyball court, a recreation center, a walking/jogging path, picnic areas and picnic tables, a pavilion, restrooms (yes!), lots of benches throughout the park, and a creek (which is either dry as a bone or flooding dangerously, so not really what Id call a perk). The playground equipment is big, but its your basic plastic get-up that the City installed in ALL the parks in Abilene. Rose Park used to have the absolute BEST playground equipment in the world...at least I thought so growing up. The swings were shaped like horses so kids could pretend they were riding in a horse race (I loved those as a kid!). There was a big jailhouse made of metal bars that kids could climb all over, including the roof part. There was a big metal replica of a canon that we could climb on while pretending we were defending our forts. There were giant tractor tires painted different colors that had been buried halfway into the ground for kids to play on. There was one slide but it was super TALL! You would get the best stomach butterflies when sliding down. There was a merry-go-round (thats what all the kids called it) that children could sit or stand on while other kids ran, pushed, and spun it around as fast as they could, so everyone could get dizzy and wobble around when they got off. And the best thing of all? The SEESAWS! Where did seesaws disappear to? They need to come back! There were lots more fantastically creative things to play in and on back then, but I just wanted to mention the few that I thought were the most memorable and fun. Are there any other old school folks here that remember when Rose Park was the best park in Abilene? If so, please comment on which playground piece was your favorite back in the 70s and 80s at Rose Park! Thanks! Some of my best memories, as a kid, were of going to Rose Park. Of course, like most cities in the U.S., extreme safety regulations and measures were put in place and all the actual FUN things kids used to play on were ripped out, trashed, and replaced with bland, boring, cookie-cutter PLASTIC playground equipment. It was a very sad day. I never saw a good reason to do this, mainly because no-one ever got hurt or severely injured while using the original equipment. So...why fix what aint broke? Kind of like we used to ride our bicycles and would rollerskate without helmets and knee pads. But...what can you do. Other than the horrible destruction of the original playground, Rose Park is a decent park with a variety of activities to choose from. Its good for picnics and is a popular place to host birthday parties for children.
