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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
