So much space and so much to see in this garden. I enjoyed the many trails, plants, pond, creek, artwork, birds (including peacocks), and fresh air. There’s no charge to enter, they have a donation box to help with keep the garden running. They have signs that say to wear a mask and everyone did put their masks on while walking past each other. It felt safe during this pandemic to wander these gardens with other responsible people. I took a photo of the map in the beginning, I’m glad I did. There are many small trails not on the map, you can easily spend over an hour here walking down all the paths. I’d definitely visit again.

This city park offers a playground for kids as well as several baseball and soccer fields. The Green River multi-use trail also runs through the park and to the north, offering a great, level trail for walkers and bikers.
3. Roegner Park

Roegner Park is deceptively large. It's frankly more of a trail way point than a conventional park, but it's still got a playground, picnic shelter, and several tables and benches along the White River. It connects to the White River trail, accordingly, and the Boulder Creek (?) trail from there, giving you a very large area to have a gentle hike from. Small parking lot, bathrooms are currently closed due to COVID-19.

Had a great time floating the river today. We arrived around 10:30am on the hottest day of the year so far and parked in the furthest lot in the park. Floated all the way down to the parking area by the park entrance and then walked back to the truck, carrying our tubes. The walk took us about 20 minutes. Arrive early because the parking lots in the park filled up fast and the roadside parking just outside the entrance gate was packed too, it was Sunday though.
6. Soos Creek Hatchery

Mid-September through October is your best bet to view Chinook and coho returning to the hatchery. Check out the viewing pond and outdoor kiosk explaining hatchery operations. The hatchery is open every day from 8 a.m.–4 p.m.; staff are sometimes available to answer questions.

On the one hand, the park isn't especially large. On the other, it's a beautiful, scenic walk that we greatly enjoyed. Parking can be a bit tricky in the wrong circumstances, but I'd still recommend it nevertheless.
8. Veterans Memorial Park
Overall Ratings
3.0 based on 5 reviews
Veterans Memorial Park is distinctive for its Veterans Memorial structure, a contemplative mural that reflects the contribution of our armed forces, and some relics sprinkled throughout the park worthy of photo ops. There is also a play area.

Not quite the "Veterans Memorial Park", but close enough to put this review here for the Armed Forces Pavilion and Community Garden. This location is definitely work an hour of your time to read each tribute message and study the artwork and admire the variety of plants and garden beds. Snuggled between the Auburn State Theater and the Veterans Hall, right across the street from free parking, and right in the center of historic downtown Auburn, this is a must see for any visitor to the town.
