SummaryFree public park.
AdmissionFree
Bowman Park is a straightforward neighborhood option for families who want newer accessible basics without a complicated park layout. The city notes a recently updated ADA accessible playground plus an ADA accessible shelter and picnic tables. Open field space adds room for siblings to spread out, but this is more of a practical neighborhood stop than a destination playground.
