Reviews
Two parking lots so that is nice. But parking lots are very rough. Nice playground and indoor restrooms. Bleachers on a few fields.
Beautiful park and area. We were ate ding the Stew fest that day. The stew was great, enjoyed seeing all the beautiful old cars on display. The downtown area is wonderful, enjoying walking around window shopping.
Needs updated, they need to go look at North royaltons rec fields, pay all this money for soccer and no upgrades ever, same old same old. Very poorly ran
Really nice park with well maintained trails
A beautiful trail with very nice fall foliage coming in. This place offers restrooms and a playground for small kids. There are dog bags and this place is dog friendly. The trail is well kept. There is a bike path option and a nature trail option.
Good park
Lovely park with both paved and unpaved trails
Local park, great for walks in paved or trail through the woods. Usually busy if nice days, extra parking lot is helpful, restrooms and trail is clean. Has a pavilion and park for the kids, a tiny pond bit mossy and no water flow makes it sit bad.
Nice hiking location v
Plum Creek is a very nice park for going on short hikes as they have a great walking/hiking paths. Easy to take the children on a quick stroll.
Plum Creek is probably the largest and most robust park in Brunswick, with an extensive set of paved and dirt hiking trails that are in the process of being extended up to the town center. The unpaved nature trails go all the way into Medina in a few cases.
Me and my wife love going in the evenings and walking what a beautiful Park
Awesome trails you have to go here great place to hike me and my wife love it
This little lake is so beautiful! Very peaceful, too!
Good decent park with shelter and restrooms. This park also have the kids playground 🛝, a pond for fishing and a beautiful train in the woods. Good for get-together picnic, party.
Mary Ross Waterfront Park in Brunswick is a delightful urban oasis, offering scenic river views and family-friendly amenities. The playground keeps kids entertained, while the open spaces are perfect for picnics. With regular events like the farmers' market, it's a lively hub that connects community and nature.
Very clean inside. Helpful staff. I love it there.
Nice field for soccer practice. They have basketball goals and a playground in the same area.
Felt a little nostalgic being there for my granddaughters all-star t-ball game after spending summers there watching my boys games...changed quite a bit but for the better....clean & very organized...really liked the idea of one way in & one way out...stopped a lot of traffic jams
I Love this park... its a very nice park for walking your dog, and playing a few sports, and it has great soccer fields..
This place is magnificent. It gives the most wonderful feelings when walking the paths!! My son loves walking on the bridges and my daughter enjoyed being able to skate on the paths, which that's hard to find unless you go to the metro parks. It does have two playgrounds here. One is brand new and the other is a bit older. But they are fun to use. There is a pavilion. Not sure if there is bathrooms, but I believe there are. Lots of wildlife roaming around.
Small park tucked away with a nice paved trial for biking, walking your dog or running around a pond full of fish. There are additional dirt trials that stem off the main one that wind through the wood. 2 playgrounds and plenty of space for fun outdoor activities. Only downside is the geese droppings occasionally get on the a path.
Great place for kids
Nature center is very small but nice. They have a few reptiles to look at like a snake and a few turtles. Once you visit the nature center you go outside to the walking trails. I enjoyed the hike on the trails and the view of Brunswick Lake. Nice little place to visit.
There for grandsons baseball game, they'd cleaned it up a little, only port o potty
Princess Ledges is a small but beautiful little gem of a reservation tucked into Brunswick so well that it's easy to miss. Every time we go there it is well managed and clean. It's a great place to go for a short walk to enjoy the forest and the ledges that NE OH is known for.
Love this trail! We often walk here after dinnera out just because it's close. Abundant wildlife. Not uncommon to see birds, rabbits, deer, groundhogs, water fowl, and people catching fish (and sometime giant frogs ... Oops!)
Small quant park. Small gazebo and small grill with one trash can. Large parking lot and baseball diamond nearby jungle gym area.
The fields are great. There has been a lot of work put into them over the last couple years.
The concession crew is always nice. The prices are reasonable and they have a large variety of items available.

Good
A little hard to find-harder to find a parking spot but a nice clean ball park
New multipurpose path is great
huge grassy area with several bbq areas,fishing pond,playground,restrooms,wheelchair accessible,paved and unpaved trails
This is a great hike that feels like it further out than it is. Right in the middle of the city is a very wooded and secluded feeling trail. It is short and easily walked. The ledges are small yet have their own majestic feel to them. Very good lunch or after dinner hike.
A small neighborhood park with a playground and a walk around lake. Nice park to take kids of all ages. Many dogs and families walking. Also walk/hike paths around the park. The wildlife is beautiful birds, turtles, fish, and tiny frogs made homes around the lake. Yes there is fishing.
To the right from the parking lot is a picnic shelter. I can see picnics and happy memories made here. Only draw back is a small parking lot.

I was nice and clean but restrooms were not open. So with a bunch younger kids it's hard to be there to long
The best walk you would have
Quick. scenic dog walk thru a nice nature area.
Walk the lake or do a quick enrichment walk around the wooded trails

Great place to relax and also take beautiful pictures. Wonderful sunsets and event area in Brunswick…
Nice place to go hiking. The red trail was nice. Seen deer and a coyote at end. Will come back in summer to experience it at a different season.
I love this place. It's always quiet and I love seeing the different boats.
We went there for the Brunswick stew festival. Got a chance to see, I think there was 104 cars, very good car show. Most of the owners of the cars were very easy to talk to and glad to talk. The Brunswick stew, we picked the winner! We're able to try six different vendors of the stew they were all pretty good. Music was good. We even had some boudin egg rolls that were very good, actually better than we've had in Louisiana. We had a good fun time there.
It's a nice preserve off of Pearl in the middle of Brunswick. Very unassuming entrance. Don't judge it by the trailer park you pass on the way to the parking lot. The trails are nice and usually not busy, though they do border some private property and neighborhoods. You will see into some backyards. The actual ledges are wonderful and you can get pretty close, though not in the same class as Top O' Ledges at Hinckley. If you're in the Brunswick/Medina area and looking for something different, go check it out. Otherwise just know it's a smaller preserve if you're planning a special trip out to visit.
This is a very cute little park. It has baby swings, older swings, slides and a climbing rock. Lots of space to run around for the kids and nice views.
Cute little walking loop, busy on nice days. Walkable in almost all types of weather but the bridges tend to get slippery in the winter.
This is truly a beautiful park. A friend held a graduation party here. There's evidently another side to the park with another pavilion, but it was closed for maintenance work. There is plenty of room for picnics, games, walks, and even benches to sit and watch the day go by. They provide electric outlets in the pavillion but 2 out of 3 of them did not work, and if you sat at the end of the pavillion you could smell the 2 outhouses near the pavillion. Despite them being relatively clean. Over all though, this is a nicer place!
Had to get some car repairs and this park was across the street...what a great little park, I was really impressed with the nature trail and paved trail, obviously well maintained like all Medina Co. parks...
It was clean an inviting. Could use a bigger playground.
Plum Creek North and South are virtually a stone's throw from each other. Trails connect to both parks. Ample parking right by trail entrances. One pavilion but there are plenty of picnic tables, with grills in the area. Restrooms on site. Mostly well marked trails for a easy walk. Trails have multiple bridges and lot of roots from the trees, but really quiet. Plenty of unique and interesting vines wrapped around the trees. There are 5 trails. The first 4 are, The Red Trail, The Blue Trail, The Yellow Trail and The Green Trail. These are all wooded trails with the Green Trail being a 4mile out and back. The Red Trail is the longest and much more interesting. The trail has plenty of up and down hills and has a number of bridges to help cross the creeks. The White Trail is paved trail.
Great place
Trying to get more active in my older years. Grand baby made me go for a walk. No... seriously... it was a fun, great walk. My cardiologist will be thrilled!
Very nice park can't wait to see them add more things here.
Walking Paved Trail(s),Decent grass area,,Clean Park (parking lot,little trash in can,no litter in wood clips,grass,PORTER John),Two wooden tables and a charcoal grill{I wouldn't call it a pavilion however one table to covered, Playground with swings !
Really enjoy how close the play area,swings and tables are to each other.

Amazing park!
It's a decently nice little city-owned park tucked away in a neighborhood. They recently put in a new playground and pavilion which is great, but they removed the old playground which had features my kids enjoyed more so that's disappointing. Parking lot has potholes and needs work.
Small neighborhood park owned by the city of Brunswick. The playground and swings are newer and in good condition, but the basketball court desperately needs some TLC. Definitely best to stop by with young kids if you live in the area or are going for a walk or bike ride.
Just a perfect place to take a break.
Playground for the kids or adults. Bathrooms.
Water view with picnic area and a farmer's market.

My husband and I love this park.
The nature center is replete with local information about the wildlife in this area. They even have living creatures on display. This is a very nice place to bring children for fun and education.
There are many very nice photo scenes and benches for resting along the way.

Small but mighty! The total trail length was under two miles as I recall but it’s one of the favorite parks my wife and I have been to.
There are basically two areas to the woods. Closer to the parking lot there are older trees, mostly tulip poplars and sugar maples with some red oaks. We went in late Fall and these trees made the woods very yellow. Beautiful. Farther from the parking lot the woods get scrubbier and younger with the sugar maples replaced by red maples and some pine added in.
The park had the biggest Osage Orange tree I’ve ever seen, around 50 feet tall. Fruit all over the ground. Truly an awesome tree.
We saw a ten point buck very close to us on the trail.
The “ledges” are small areas. Nice but nothing too special. If you want to be impressed with rocks you’ll probably be disappointed.
Housing, etc all around the park though I don’t recall a lot of road noise.

ok kinda small playground not much equipment
Cute little park, short lake loop trail. So many ducks and ducklings! The bathroom is pretty decent and there was almost no litter anywhere. There were two playgrounds, but they definitely do stay wet even the day after a storm.
The pavilion has a fire pit and there are picnic tables and benches all around the lake.
There was a surprising amount of birds as well, and the cattails were lovely.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it definitely gets muddy. It was fine on the trail, but kids would be happier in boots to really run around.
There is one spot where you presumably fish from, but you really need to hang onto your kid in that area. There's a railing but it's risky for small children

Great soccer fields except they get swampy when there is much rain. There's a playground and covered eating area that can serve large groups, too.
This park offers a small toddler playground as well as a newer playground. The loop around the pond is paved and a portion of it is shaded. Along the loop there are about 7 benches to relax and enjoy the pond scene. There are almost always ducks here as well as geese (please don't feed them bread-its not good for them). There is an additional narrow dirt trail that splits off the north end of the park that can bring you back to the pond or veers away to a nearby neighborhood development. It is almost completely shaded but can be muddy if it has rained recently. The large hill at the north end of the park is a favorite of my children who like to race to the top and roll down to the bottom. There is also a covered pavilion/many picnic tables with a nearby fireplace & several benches too.
Nice park with a paved trail and some nature trails. A nice play set with a covered picnic area around a pond. The other side of the park also has a pond which you can fish, also with a covered picnic area. Took my kids here when they were young. Great for exploring. I go there now to walk the trails for exercise.
Very secluded, quiet, peaceful park. The trails were easy for a toddler and well maintained. There is a paved trail, but we went on the nature trails and had no issues. We saw some deer, chipmunks, and squirrels. I will say that I didn't see many birds, but it is September.
This trail was a blast to walk. It is not stroller friendly so be sure to keep that in mind. There were tons of fun roots to walk over and little bridge areas for when there is heavy rain. We found at least 5 different types of fungus. At the end of the scenic trail there is one of the coolest ledges ever! Loads of cool angles, moss, dripping water. We will definitely be walking this again soon.
Nice park overall. There's an area for the kids to play on equipment, swing, play basketball, and just run around in the grass. It's well kept and nice to walk through.
Nice area to stroll. 4 different trails totaling around 2 miles. Playground, fishing, pavilion and even a sledding hill. Nice place to take the kids, walk your dog or take in a relaxing sunrise. Keep your eye out for bike trails that are not on the map. These could be a lot of fun.
It’s nice but small. If city can put more play sets and renovate the basketball court, it would be great😁
Go here to take walks with my dog nice park great views.
Easy and peaceful nature trail with a one mile "nature trail" and a half mile "ledges trail," both of which take a gently sloping walk through a nice forest. It's especially nice to walk through during the fall when all the leaves have changed. An easy walk for any experience level hiker. There is a pit style outhouse at the parking area, but no picnic tables for a meal.
A very beautiful and relatively unknown park, we did a nature hike and found some very cool stuff along the way! Only complaints would be BE AWARE of all the broken glass, it was all around the beautiful sandstone ledges making this gorgeous area a hazard for everyone. Also the trails were not marked very well making it difficult to navigate them.
This is probably one of the smallest nature centers I've ever been to, but it's very cozy and welcoming. The building is very beautiful and kept up. The grounds are clean and they provide food for the wild animals in the back of the cabin. They also provide brochures that explain the park. The loop trail is 1/2 mile long and circles around the Peninsula. In the nature center, you can find days where they provide activities for children and educational information. Not much room to park at the actual nature center, but there is a plaza located next to it, you could park there. I plan on going back often, I would love to watch the seasons change with the trees and plants. You can also walk down the road a bit to fish. Overall, this is a great place to learn, grow, and make memories.
I can't believe I never know about this park. Scenic trail that is unfortunately a little ill-maintained. The highlight of the park are the ledges, yet they have it all junked up with fallen trees and debris. The trails are also swampy and I agree with the other reviewer, LOTS OF BUGS. wear spray!
Fun place for adults to be s kid again and fun place to take family to
They are always adding to the park to make it better. Well situated in the middle of brunswick!
It has a great baseball field, a small playground, and some old tennis courts. It would be great if they swapped out the never used tennis courts for some basketball courts
Great hidden jewel. I have lived in the area my whole life but somehow I have missed this wonderful place. You walk into the park and feel surrounded by nature. There is a nice Pavilion, which we rented for a Cub Scout event. A nice pond to fish, catch and release. It also offered a playground and a walking path around the pond. We found out that you can also camp out, a permit is needed, but a perfect place for a first time camp out, or a group picnic.
Absolutely beautiful little park with a little bit of something for everyone, including fishermen and women. It has a great playground I loved as a kid and a surprisingly diverse and colorful forested area to hike through with many paths. Don't expect the seclusion of a far out mountain hike, but it is surprisingly tranquil and quiet - just a great, great spot.
Roads are gravel this city is the pits
Great if you like soccer. The parking lots are horrible. The city has threatened to fix them for a while, but they say they're going to do a lot of stuff thst never gets done.
Great place to stop in for a half hour on the weekend after a walk around the lake and browse through the artifacts they have from nature. From stuffed deer, coyotes and owls to turtle shells and bones there's even real critters to see. Take a load off and sit in their comfy rockers and gaze out into the scenic woods. It's clean, has bathrooms, and is great for families of all ages.
One of our favorite parks in Brunswick for its large fields and scenic woods all around. A great place for basketball and sports requiring a field. Large and often empty except for the soccor season. Unfortunately, the bathrooms are closed except for soccer games.
Beautiful park with great trails. There is a one mile paved multi-purpose trail loop that takes you on both sides of the lake, plus a .65 mile gravel nature trail. Inside the building offers live animals to look at and a little reading room. It's easy to spend just 10 minutes or hours here. Check their website or the kiosk for FREE programs that are frequently offered for kids and adults of all ages.
I went tobogganing here and although it was fun the wait to go up was 50 minutes
Beautiful park. Great for taking pictures. Regularly hosted events here for the city, including car shows, food events, music events, etc. Check it out when there's something going on! Otherwise it's just a nice and relaxing place by the water that has some local history involved too.
