    Perfect for toddlers learning to ride scooters. Great little path to ride circles. Well-maintained.

    This park is deceptively huge. It spans 135 acres and dates back to 1954. There is a decent amount…read moreof parking available for visitors. The park is actually two sections, separated by a lake. The park is a nature park has has many picnic tables and shelters, with picnic tables under them scattered on both sides of the park. Some of the picnic tables and shelters are located along the river and provide some panoramic views. The park also features a nice nature trail that is in the wood and pretty well shaded. On one side of the park you will find a small, but newer playground area with percussion instruments, saucer swings, and a couple of slides. It is pretty basic. The other side has a much larger playground. It has a huge play structure that looks like a fort and has a rock climbing wall, slides, and bridges. There is also a pyramid net climber, saucer swings, and toddler swings. The equipment is pretty spread out and in pretty good shape. There is a smaller play structure for little ones which has tunnels, slides, and bridges. You will find rocking animals in that area as well. This side of the park also has a restroom facility. This park is certified as a wildlife habitat and you will see water fowl, geese, beavers and squirrels up close and personal to name just a few animals. Someone was fishing while I was there, but I do not know how good the fishing is, or even if it is allowed. I do not know if it is part of the park, but across the street you will find a huge and amazing baseball complex that looks like it is home to a junior college. It is nice and very well maintained. All in all, this park is decent. It is well maintained and the lake and views are awesome . I will admit that There is not much to offer outside of the trails, shelter, lake, and picnic tables. I like the park, but I was not wow'ed or overwhelmed. The playgrounds are somewhat basic and probably would not holds a kids attention too long. This park would be great for those looking for a nature park.

    While strolling along the park's loop, we noticed the drained lake. I got the wild idea to venture…read moreonto the seemingly solid lake bed, which turned out to be a massive blunder. Although the mud appeared dry on the surface, it was deceptively soft underneath, causing me to sink deep into it up to my knee.

    This park spans 50 acres and is more of a recreation complex. There are two entrances and the…read morepark's drive has somewhat of a U-shape. It has a couple of baseball fields, a tennis complex with a bunch of courts, and a couple of soccer fields. They are all very nice, but they are not opened to the public and are locked to keep people out. You need a permit to use the baseball and soccer fields. The tennis courts are managed through the tennis complex on site. As an added bonus most of the courts and fields are lighted for night play. You will find an ample amount of parking available here, spread between lots all throughout the park. The park also features a nice and extensive trail system for bikers, walkers and joggers. You will find a little green space to toss a ball around or have a picnic. There are also gliders swings and benches available to sit and enjoy. There are dog clean up stations all over the park and they have a monument of sorts in memorial of the 8 people killed in the 2021 anti-asian spa shootings. The memorial features a nice golden statue of an asian woman sitting down. The park has a huge shelter that is available to rent. The shelter has a bunch of picnic tables under it and a grill just outside of it. The park has two playground area. The smaller one is by the baseball fields. It has a small play structure with monkey bars and a slide. This play area also has toddler swings. The other playground, on the other side of the park, is much larger. There is where you will find wood balance beams, saucer swings, a large net structure, slides, and a net climber. There are bathroom facilities near both play areas, with the larger, and in my opinion better one being on the side with the larger playground. The park is a nice place to hold local events the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, food truck Wednesdays in the summer, and Light Up Brookhaven in the winter is held here. I like this playground. It is very well maintained. However, much of its amenities are private and require a permit. Most of the park's visitors that I saw during my visit were taking advantage of the park's trails. There were no kids on the play ground. Being a hot weekday may have something to do with that. I do feel this is a destination park unless you are attending an event here.
