Hard to believe there used to be a thriving tourist business at this almost forgotten piece of Americana. Wander for a while and imagine what it was like in its heyday.
[Cosmic_Adventurers, 07/23/2023]Pretty little park to stretch legs on a long trip. The handout map makes it hard to understand what the layout truly was. There is a better map on the wall between the clean restrooms. The water had algae so it was not so pretty.

Radium Springs flooded and is closed for repairs. The clean up crew allowed us to go in and take some pictures before their supervisor showed up and chased us out!

Former resort based around radium-rich springs. The ruins of the casino and grounds have been turned into a park and gardens.
