"This is a Wonderful water walk way! The sites off the walk way are hard to measure. Wide paths and plenty of seating are a plus. The town is incredibly clean and put together like a hallmark movie. It's weird but delightful in a way. The shops and restaurants are a bit pricey so watch out."
Toni Markowycz
"Traveling through Clayton and stopping by Frink Park is a really nice experience. The park and boardwalk is well kept and your family and friends can bring your boats in at several docks nearby, enjoy walking the boardwalk, taking time to sit in the lawn chairs or enjoy the pavilion area to watch boats go by and take advantage of the sun when you can. There are several great restaurants nearby and you can walk the town for shopping and sightseeing. This park is a must see destination while you are in town."
