Traveler reviews
Jonathan Davis
★★★★★7 months agoBeautiful and scenic park, with the Amstel River close by. On a winter's day, when real snow comes and stays for a week or so, you will find so many snow people built throughout the park - all of various sizes. MLK Park also hosts summer festivals on its grounds; it's a pleasant spot to visit with so much open space.
Alberto Cazares
★★★★★3 years agoNice park right across the street from Amstel river (though the park itself has no lake or water) and never too crowded
