Reviewing the playground:…read more I love that the ground has that soft material and not wood chips. The playground has a huge umbrella in the middle with a conveniently placed bench. There is a big kids and little kids jungle gym. This playground is very clean. Nice families around. Plenty of shaded tables and benches. We visited OH and stopped here to tire the kiddos.

Madison Park is akin to the Madison Library branch. Both are underused and located in the neglected…read moresoutheast quadrant of Lakewood. Madison Park is where the rough kids who went to Emerson Middle School (Steve L.) hung out in the 90's. I saw Big Chuck and Little John play celebrity softball in the park. There is a decent community pool complete with a slide for thrill seekers. There is a lot of chatter around town about Gordon Square, North Collinwood, Ohio City and other neighborhoods getting hip. I hope that Birdtown in Lakewood can make the same transition. Madison Park serves as the anchor.

The schedule is inconsistent and staff generally seem to have no idea what's going on, but the facilities are free. The outside was renovated in 2012 and the outdoor trail around the park is nice for dog walks and the splash basin and outdoor sports amenities are well-loved, except the dog zone dog park, which is a neglected disaster.

The playground and field are a great move in the improvement process. The neighborhood itself still needs help, but the hipsters are moving in so the change has begun. A positive one this time.

Looks as though there is playground for younger kids and one for older kids. There are also bocce courts, an area for horseshoes and 2 nice-sized covered pavilions (connected with a fireplace which would be amazing in the fall). A few baseball fields are right next to the area as well.

I absolutely LOVE THIS WATERFALL! It combines two of my favorite things... waterfalls and bridges…read more The three bridges serve as a unique backdrop and give a Lord of the Rings sort of vibe! There is an overlook deck just off the parking area or you can find a very short trail to the right of the overlook that leads to the base of the waterfall. ENJOY!!!

Very cute and small splash pad but it was perfect for my little one. It was clean and had plenty…read moreof seats for my family to sit down and lay down while the little ones roam around. This area is gated, which we loved so there was only one way to get in and out. There are some days where this place gets so crowded that there is no seating available. I would definitely plan ahead for these types of days and bring extra towels to lay on the ground. Parking can sometimes be limited too since the playground is next to the splash pad. There are side streets within the area for extra parking if need be.

The different patterns and shading make the pictures interesting.

I grew up on a large piece of land and always loved watching the small creatures who lived near my house. I feed the animals who live in my backyard now, and I love watching various forms of wildlife frolic in my trees. I've always jokingly said that it would be cool to be able to feed birds from my hand (Cinderella style) but I never knew that would be actually possible. It's a pretty simple process. You go into the nature center, they give you sunflower seeds, and then you patiently and quietly wait with your hand outstretched and full of seeds. I was skeptical at first, but...the chickadees and other birds were quick to scope me out. They'd fly close enough to look at me, briefly make eye contact, and then swoop in for some food. They are so light! And beautiful! And amazingly brave, I think. I know I had a hand full of food, but...I'm a heck of a lot bigger than a chickadee. I had about a dozen birds land on me while I was outside. (and I wasn't out there very long - it was coooollllldd) The highlight was having a bird land on my head! This is a super fun (and free) wintertime thing to do. Chickadee feeding is held from late December through February (weather permitting). It's such a cool experience and totally worth the drive, no matter where you live. (and it's especially fun for the little ones! they can warm up inside by the fire afterwards)
