Nickeas Park is one of Jamestown's smaller parks (6.77 acres) but it is very pretty and is cleverly hidden in the middle of a residential area in the northwest part of town. A sidewalk runs through the park from north to south featuring a early 1900's vinatge walking bridge over the river on the south end taking you out into the sun on 8th Avenue NW. To drive to the park, turn east off of 4th Avenue NW on the north side of the driving bridge onto 11th Street NW. Follow that road as it curves beside the river and it will take you to Nickeas Park.
This park does not have the handicapped parking and handicapped restroom facilities that you find at McElroy Park (see post below) so you would have to plan accordingly if you wanted to enjoy some time here in a wheelchair. We found it a great place to come take pictures when the trees were changing into their fall colors.
