Great location there is a water-park, Playground, walking paths, baseball field and a lake. There is one grill by the lake and access to benches, tables and public bathrooms. we went there originally to catch them all and were delighted with a great family location. The park does bring a crowd but the location is big enough for anyone to find some peace and quiet. The duck wildlife was very abundant lots of geese and baby ducks. Like I said about the catching them all there is an abundant of water type for all those Pokemon go players (Magickarp, Tentacruel, Psyduck, Slowpoke and Dratini). I cant wait to go back and Try out the grill.

This park looks amazing! It is wonderful to see the ducks swimming in the pond, and all the trees surrounding the park. I wish there were more trees around the pond, but it still looks amazing! Also, if you play Pokemon GO, this is a great place to try and catch em all! There are Poke Stops set up around the pond and I always see at least one of them with a lure module on it. This way you can gain steps to hatch eggs, catch pokemon, and refill your pokeball collection all in one place! PS - My dogs love me taking them for walks there too~ They have dog fountains just for our furry companions!

I believe this facility serves as part of the Bedford Recreation Center. There is a blacktop for roller hockey that sits off by itself. There is a nice pond where there are always ducks and geese. People fish, but I dont know what they catch. There are a couple of pavilions for birthdays. The pond has a well kept sidewalk for walking all the way around it. Since Pokemon Go started, the place has been extremely crowded. Now, you will find food trucks and vendors pretty often.

I love the park but the bathrooms are atrocious. Im not sure if it was this way before all the new attention from Pokemon players but when I go with my girlfriend, she makes me drive her to the closest gas station to use the restroom rather than to use the bathroom there. This definitely needs attention. The best part is that I get safe the entire time I was there... Even when I was there til midnight.

Its got a nice paved walking path that goes around the lake. Its not very large, though, but definitely large enough to jog around for a while. I would say that the pavement is way too close to the lake, however. One wrong step, in some areas, and it wouldnt be difficult to fall into the water. It kind of makes me uneasy. The last time I came here, it was a huge hot-spot for people playing Pokemon Go.

I spent many of my childhood summer days fishing for catfish and perch in the Boys Ranch pond.There is a ton of fun and recreation here all in this park.Every kind of educational or art class for all ages you can imagine,as well as a fave of mine,The Onstage Theater which has always run great drama productions.A something for everyone here...

I love this park and matter a fact I leased an apartment to be right by it. New birds fly in annually and you never know what breed is going to show up. Bring your lunch and even grill with the parks new BBQ pit. New upgrades are coming in 2013 so come and check it out as this is Bedfords best park in my opinion.

I can only speak to the play ground, its a nice size playground and easily accessible. But it is rundown and needs a major face lift. There are not many trees so the equipment is not usable on hot days. The pond is nice, and there were ducks. But its not the best in the area by any measure.

It perfect to walk or just sit and be outside. There are bathrooms, a water fountain, a grill, large tables to sit at, and it is very well lit during the night. There are a few playgrounds around, but I havent checked them out. My friends and I go regularly to play Pokémon go.

I love the Boys Ranch activity center. The center itself has a wide diversity of activities from boot camp, martial arts, etc. Bedford residents pay a cheaper rate. The activity center staff have been very kind airing up my soccer and basketball balls for no costs.

Its a large park with a nice sized pond, encircled by a walking trail, perfect to feed ducks or take a morning jog. It has a great theater, a roller hockey rink, lovely playgrounds and big areas for soccer. On the 4th of july, it hosts some of the best fireworks.

We came here for the Annual Pet fair & took our Shih Tzu to check it out. They had several informative booths, lots of doggie goodies & free lunch, burgers & hot dogs. It was lots of fun. There were many cute dogs up for adoption. Well be back next year.

Great lake with fun disc golf course -just be careful of the last holes water hazard! The Boys Ranch facility hosts lots of great events as well from Valentines to Halloween to more. Still a great place to play Pokemon Go, as well. Go check it out!

We have gone to the 4th fest at the boys ranch for many years but will be looking for a new place. His tear was a disappointment. Theres not many things to do anymore, parking is horrendous and the fireworks are not as good as they used to be

This park is great. Clean. Has nice 9 hole course for disc golf, fishing pond, walking and bike paths, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, swimming pools. People are nice. Only the occasional idiot with a dog not leashed.

Best park in Bedford!! Dog friendly, kid friendly, lots of paths to walk, with sporting areas, picnic areas, and playgrounds. Also, LOTS of pokestops for those playing Pokémon GO!!

Jennifer Hoppe

This location is HUGE, and has stuff to do for everyone. The Splash mini water park is low priced and has so much to do, and the park is absolutely wonderful with a huge jungle gym!

Kenneth James

Pokemon Go haven. Slowpoke and Magikarp are all over the place. Plenty of Pokestops. Bedford police want to enforce the 11:00 PM close time now, so that kind of stomps on the fun.

Randy Streeter

Has a good length walking trail around a large pond, with a covered area with tables.There is also a playground towards front of the park with some other facilities.

Water park for the kids, lots of indoor activities for the family, and it backs up to a beautiful park with a canal system, playground, tennis and soccer areas

Jo Lorio

This place is awesome! Great waterpark! There is also a park for children and separate park with a pond that is great for a walk, jog, or casual stroll.
