Every summer, they have free concerts at the gazebo and we will check it out for the first time this year. Really looking forward to it. The person who was irate about her dogs not being allowed on the walls needs to recognize that rules are there for the overall good. In my opinion, not coming back to the park is their loss, not to mention their dogs'.

I was impressed. We had the entire pool room to ourselves, with two giant pools, one shallow for the kids with a slide, and the other with lanes for more serious lap swimming. They also have a large hot tub which I enjoyed immensely. There was room for our food, gifts and seating all in view of the pools, and their locker rooms, showers and restrooms were well maintained. The doors lead out to a nice patio area in the back, where there are outdoor pools and beautiful scenery. I'm sure we were inside because it had rained that day. I don't know what my cousins paid for this private event on a weekend, but it was worth it. Fun was had by all.

This review isn't about amenities--it's about safety and accountability…read more There has been a longstanding, repeated issue involving a member who has engaged in inappropriate and harassing behavior toward underaged lifeguards over multiple years. According to staff reports and community awareness, these concerns have been raised more than once and are not new. What's deeply troubling is the pattern of response. Instead of a permanent resolution, the approach has reportedly been temporary suspensions followed by reinstatement--after which similar concerns continue to surface. If accurate, that is not a meaningful safeguard but rather a cycle. When an organization is aware of repeated allegations involving minors and continues to allow the same individual back into that environment, it raises serious questions about judgment, oversight, and priorities. At a minimum, it suggests a failure to put adequate protections in place for staff. This is not about one incident--it is now a repeated pattern with clear evidence that the executive director and board do not care about the safety of the young women they employ. Anyone considering employment here, or parents with kids working here, should be asking very direct questions about how harassment is addressed and what protections actually exist in practice. The parl district's mandated sexual harassment training for their staff while doing nothing to protect them from harassment from their precious paying members. Until there is clear accountability and transparency, this is a concern the community should take seriously.

We were visiting this area and this park / play ground within safe and walkable distance from where…read morewe were staying. Play ground is pretty good. Has swings too, however they get a bit flooded after rain. No bathrooms but portable potty ( which wasn't smelly to my surprise) what I did not like is the waking trail, which is covered in white dirt or whatever it is, if you walk there even couple days after it was raining mud is still sticky so your shoes and stroller wheels will be all muddy. There are a lot of geese there, fun to watch but they poop a lot :) not complaining about that because obviously everyone poops :) I like that playground surface covered with shredded rubber/tires. Not as dirty as mulch and soft if kids fall. Tip : If you are staying at Holiday INN, the best waking route would be on the sidewalk past Giordano's till you get to the first light ( MacArthur Dr) turn left on MacArthur ( no sidewalk, subdivision road, but pretty quiet) and walk about 100 yards and take left turn on Karban Rd. Walk about 40 yards till on the right you see creek with some white rock and white dirt trail. Keep following that trail and creek past backyards and then you'll see a lake a little past lake will be a playground.

We went strictly for the park since we were in the area but you can play mini golf and there is a splash pad as well! Don't know how much the splash pad or mini golf was.

Me and the kids would definitely go back!!

Eldridge Park is well kept little park along Salt Creek. There are paved paths that are great for…read morewalking, jogging or biking. There are plenty of benches throughout the park. When I've walked along the paths, I've seen people fishing in the pond during the warmer months. The playground looks like a nice one. They have a basketball court next to it. I've heard there are tennis courts, but I think they must be on the East side of the park. I'll need to explore that side a bit more. There's a cute little bridge that allows you to easily cross over Salt Creek. I didn't see any photos of the canoe launch, so I'll share a couple here. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain the day before, so the ramp to the boat launch was pretty flooded. There are also doggy bag stations on the path near the parking lot.

Great park in the middle of Elmhurst. They have hiking/biking trails, 2 children's playgrounds,…read morenice pond full of ducks and geese. Benches to sit on scattered around the park. Nice and peaceful to just walk around and enjoy the pretty scenery . The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there is a lack of adequate bathrooms. I walked the whole park both side and only saw 1 porta potty on the commonwealth side where the p,at ground is. They could use a few more. Also they could put out a few more picnic table near the pond, and both playgrounds.

For some reason, it's hard to find parks that are well-maintained (clean!) with semi-updated…read moreequipment. I noticed this park when I took a different way to my sitter's house, and decided to check it out yesterday when it was warm-ish. Needless to say we've been a bit stir-crazy staying indoors so much this winter! I really like several things: first, the equipment has some special needs accessibility. You can walk on to the equipment from the sidewalk, since there is a ramp built in! This area has a smaller slide that my toddler could navigate on his own. There is a variety of equipment for older kids to climb, and also several different slides. There is a separate toddler/smaller kid play area with 3 slides (2 tandem) that my little 19 month old could access with some help. Finally, there are 4 swings available: 2 baby buckets, and 2 for bigger kids. The turf is covered in wood chips and surrounded by black (plastic?) beams bolted into the ground. I didn't see a speck of trash anywhere! It's a pretty large area, and my son had lots of room to just run around and expend his energy. I enjoyed the scenic view of the pond, which is surrounded by a crushed limestone trail. Definitely a fan! Too bad we don't live right down the street. Luckily my sitter does, so we'll be using this park at least when I pick up the kids!

What a pretty and quiet park. Theres a big playground which is suitable for all ages. It's…read moresurrounded by residential properties but it still feels quiet. Im not sure why this park isn't busier. It's always dead whenever we visit! It's clean and well maintained. The pond is super fun and we enjoy walking around the gravel path. Every time we come here we spot some kind of active wildlife. The pond also has HUGE carp. I'm not sure if fishing is allowed but if it is, This would be an awesome place to fish. The carp are always active and will jump up out of the water and scare you ;) ducks, turtles, snakes, are just of the few creatures we have run into here. Visit when the weather is nice and you'll see a lot of the local wildlife. There are a few picnic tables and benches scattered all around the property if you're looking for somewhere to play and eat outdoors! We like it here!

A mom-of-two's (a toddler and preschooler) straight-forward review -…read more Pros: 1) There are two sections - one for younger children with a ginormous boat equipped with small slides and one for older children with zipline, climbing cargo nets, swings, and steep slides. 2) The playground is tucked away in a residential area and was not crowded or busy during our visit. 3) Space is vast with plenty of room for children to run about and expense their energy. Cons: 1) It's hard to find a single complaint...but I guess if I had to name one, there are plenty of parking but they are not close to the playground. Then again, the purpose to visit a playground isn't merely for children to have fun, but it is also an opportunity for adults to collect vitamin D and log some steps!

The water park is wonderful and that's why I'm a pass holder. However I would question some of the…read morechoices by management in its daily operation. Specifically, I forever feel like we're being told to exit the pool for things like adult swim and swim lessons. During July 4 weekend, for example, for all practical purposes, only pass holders could reach the water park due to the city's carnival. The pool was mostly empty. And yet, adult swim continued! The shallower portion of the pool had precisely one swimmer for one session, and -- get this -- none in the next. It's simply bizarre. They kept evacuating the pool. And today, on the day of this writing, if you call the daily update line, it says nothing about swim lessons, yet during lessons, you must again leave the pool. (There are lessons today, BTW.) While I understand wanting to give adults some time, it seems downright authoritarian and overbearing sometimes. Why not just close off the deeper section? If you come for a visit with young children, be ready for the blaring whistles and obediently head for your towel. No questions asked.

Dear Sea lion. I am a season pass holder but this place has had some rough patches like this one…read moretime I went with my camp we were stepping on broken glass and one kid had to go to the ER and I cut my foot. They have a huge space of empty land where they can make a good water slide like maybe a water Coaster but Sea Lion acts so cheap when they charge like 3 million dollars for a day pass so theres no reason to not make a good ride. But it gets worse when I was at the snack shack yesterday I spent 4 dollars on a damn snow cone and we got pizza. We got our pizza right away but then they started scrolling on YouTube and then after 10 minutes we told them we were waiting for a snow cone and then it took them 5 minutes make a snow cone. I'm very disappointed Sea lion. In conclusion you guys need to hire better staff, make better slides and clean the park more. My rating 0/10 Don't come here
