Jackson Park has a lot of open space, and is a great place to take the kids in the summer. There is a large pond with a fountain, a pavilion right next to the pond, and another nearby. The playground is large. Paved trails run through the park. There is a restroom facility near the playground.
Parking is plentiful, on the south side of the park. Large puddles develop in the grassy area after a rain, so watch out for those.
At the entrance to the park is a sculpture titled "Crossing the Prairie" by Glenna Goodacre
