Swope Park

Pleasant, but no frills

This park, located on the county fairgrounds, is owned and managed by the City of Cottonwood Falls. There were picnic areas, softball fields, (could pose a noise issue if a game were going on) playground and a public swimming pool as well as a nearby dollar store. The pool appeared to be very nice, although it was after hours when we were at the park. The five, mostly level, spots consisted of concrete runners on an unshaded grassy area conveniently located near reasonably clean restrooms and showers. All of the sites were pull-throughs on a first come - first serve basis. The fee of $15 per night which included water and electricity, was a bargain. There was a dump station in the park, but no wi-fi, cable, or sewer hookups were available. The only complaint concerned a faulty control in the men's shower. The water temperature could not be adjusted or turned off. Overall, we enjoyed staying there and would definitely return.
