Swope Park: what do users think?
john bauer: SCAM - you buy a $30 spot in advance - arrive and it's sold out. Apparently in their mind PRE-PAY is simply paying before you arrive. Not reserving that spot. If there's no spots left - you lose $30. No refunds for any reason is their logic. Whose world is this right in? Don't use this place for parking anything.
Lyle Rosanbalm: Buy qty-2 spots the lines are so close together you can not open your doors. I wish I would have. My car was damaged and they do not have any cameras. Great location. Buy 2 places

Happy Rock Park: what do users think?
John F: I had a wonderful time at Happy Rock Park with my friends. The park is very spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of activities for everyone. We enjoyed playing tennis, soccer, and basketball on the lighted courts and fields. The kids loved the playgrounds and the spray ground. The park also has a 1.3 mile fitness trail that circles the park, which was perfect for walking our dog. The park is very scenic and relaxing, with lots of trees and a bridge over a creek. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the restrooms were clean. I highly recommend this park for anyone looking for a fun and affordable outing in Gladstone.
Brian Johnson: Happy Rock Park is an awesome community park! I've been coming here for years. There is so much to do... Playgrounds, hiking and walking trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, walking trails, hiking trails, sports fields (including softball diamonds)! Gladstone Parks and Recreation runs great youth programs, as well: soccer, t-ball, and more!
