I was planning on doing my kids birthday party here so they can have fun at the playground and see some animals, but instead when we visited we were just saddened. The animals are obviously not take care of properly as many of them have bald spots; the turkeys are enclosed in a tiny space and for such big birds they need more room to run around; there was no sign of food or water containers for them. But the saddest part was the horse. Another visitor advised us he was blind and had been there for many many years. Poor thing has been wearing the headcollar/halter for so long you can see the wear on his fur and skin of where the straps lay. He also seems to have a sort of old injury on his right hind leg where it looks like a bone is sticking out making him waddle when he walks. There shouldnt be any animals if they cannot be taken care of the right way. Its not just about giving them food and water at scheduled times each day, its about giving them love and care.

Ive been going to this park for years since it is right around the corner from me. Went the other day with my niece to see the animals and saw a rabbit whos eyes were blood shot and who looked like he hadnt eaten. He also looked wet as if he was very sick and lonely. This made me never want to come to this park again. If you cant take care of the animals at this zoo than DONT HAVE THEM there for people to look at and wish they could help. Or perhaps HIRE people to take care of the animals. These animals need love and attention not just to have their food refilled everyday... What a beautiful park this is but this just ruined this park for me, never going back again.

I visited this nasty park on Aug 10, 2014 and was horrified but what I saw and how they DO NOT take care of the animals. It was 87 degrees and the poor pigs had NO water and were just laying in dirt and there was NOT a food bowl to be seen for any of the animals. How can these people live with themselves with these animals just dying out there. Its deplorable and inhumane and just sad in this day and age. I will for sure NEVER be returning to this park and something needs to be about these animals. DISGUSTING MERRILL PARK AND SHAME ON YOU :( :( :(

Fantastic local park which evokes memories of my childhood. Great play area for younger kids with slides and swings. Plentiful baseball and soccer fields as well as a neat animal farm intended for viewing the animals up close. Magliones Italian ice cart is still there serving delicious ices for the spring and summer months. Lots and lots of picnic tables and a car -traffic free loop for runners, walkers and bicyclists.

Very nice park with many playgrounds all around. Best of all, they have a menagerie of rescued and adopted animals that include chickens, goats, pigs, and a horse. They are very friendly and people are free to feed them food they bring themselves from home. It is not a petting zoo, however. You feed them through the fence. Still, fun for kids and the park is well taken care of. They also have a bike trail.

This park has lots of different playgrounds, its an excellent place to bring kids. Also a great place to go for a walk, you can play tennis on a public enclosed court, or basket ball on one of 2 courts, and even relax in the (ample) shade or even have a picnic. The only down side is that it some times gets super crowded due to how many activities it offers.

Love the "zoo" which is really just an enclosure with lots of animals. Good amount of facilities such as tennis courts and bbq/picnic tables.
