I have always liked Nimisilla park. I loved learning its history when I was younger ftom.my mom who remembers the zoo and other community activities that took place during the 1850s. It is fun to walk the circle, it is gorgeous in the winter and fall trees are awesome. It is my favorite place.
The park was mostly clean but there was broken glass in the pavilion area. There was also a drug deal that happened right in front of us... not the most ideal place to take your children. If they would clean it up more and find a way to keep certain people out then it would be a perfect park.
I went with my two kids for 5 mins before leaving. There were men loitering and cars parked sideways in the parking spaces just idling. One car kept circling the park slowly and the guy inside was making all my “mom alarms” go off. I wouldn’t recommend anyone going alone and definitely not with small children.
I know it gets a bad wrap bc of its Urban image but I personally have never had or seen an issue at this park. So I dont mind taking my kids there. And the ppl that gather reminds me of the Front Porch days. But could use a more creative kind of equipment for the kids seems a little boring. A Merry-go-round and a real Teeter totter would be a good start...
Nimisilla for all those dont know, is a time capsule. Its where local people come to reminisce, and expose their children to a time when life was simple, and carefree. I love this park...its part of my life story, and it will be so for my kids as well. If youre not from the area, you may be taken back a bit, but for those whom are familiar...all we remember are cookouts, basketball tournaments, family gatherings, finding new love, the old trees, playing in the big piles of leaves, festivals, cruising through in that favorite car...the list goes. This is one if the better parks in Canton. If youre afraid to stop and take it all in, then you might be missing something. Dont let fear control your behavior...
This is my old hood park located off the O-Jays Blvd. Every hood n**ga from the ne b chilln out here, smoke, bottles, rolling thru in nice whips, my family lives here bbq everyday in the summer. I use to ball here on the courts one of the 1st places i played on a court as a kid

2021-04-07I give a high rating to this place simply because of the incredible effort in cleaning it up. I was here 25 years ago and it has really changed. The new, and very bright street lights are incredible, and very much appreciated by local residents, Im sure.Good job guys!

2021-06-29On a hot day you want to go to a cool park. It has beautiful trees . Its location is in the city but when you enter this park you are transported a forest. A great place to take the children.
