There were only three other kids playing so we nearly had the whole playground to ourselves. The girls enjoyed climbing up the ropes, coming down the slides, and running around the playground on the rubbery ground. There was an ongoing basement game that my husband stood and watched for about 15 minutes until his girls summoned him to push them on the swings. There are picnic tables, basketballs courts, and volleyball courts as well.

Great disc golf course. Nice variety with gentle hills, mature trees, reasonable water hazards,…read moreand some long, albeit mostly short, holes. Very generous with par. Risk of losing disc is super low. Some pedestrians, but hardly any hindrance. Well manicured, so almost no rough to worry about. Walk between holes is reasonable without holes being on top of each other. Perfect for casual players, but may become boring if you play it multiple times a year or if you're close to expert level.

I've never played disc golf before, nor have I ever had an interest. However, when my friend Kelly…read moreW. asked if I wanted to try this place in Roselle, I gave it a shot. Why not? So on one of the rare, hot days this summer, we found ourselves trying to navigate this course. The best way to get here is to park in or near the Waterbury Elementary School parking lot and walk on over. Originally, my directions led me to some residential parking lot on the other side of the park, but I wasn't able to park there or I'd be towed. Go to the school instead. You have been warned. Goose Lake Park has a nine-hole disc golf course that takes about two hours to complete. There's no maps, so you need to find them ahead of time or just wander around and figure it out yourselves. Boxes of sand mark the starting spots to throw from and the baskets are clearly marked with yellow paint. We managed to find eight of the nine holes and only completed six or seven of them. We were exhausted from the walking and tossing! The only annoying things about the course were the clusters of tall grass! My frisbee kept ending up in the grass and it took us time to find them if we weren't paying attention to where they landed. I was wearing shorts and flip flops; it's not fun walking through tall grass with those on. Once I got the hang of tossing the frisbees, they didn't go in the grass anymore. Whew. I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would, though! Since I haven't played disc golf before, I can't really compare this to other locations. Yet, the lack of maps, the slightly confusing course design, and the annoying tall grass puts this at a three-star rating for me. It's OK. I'd come back, but I'm not in love. In addition to the disc golf course and walking path, there's a baseball field and playground for the kiddies. It's a quiet spot -- we only came across a couple other people walking dogs while we were there.

They clearly marked where to throw from using boxes full of sand with signs telling you how far it is and what is par. The park is well maintained with tall grasses in clusters. It is hard to figure out where to park, but you park near the Waterbury Elementary School and the first hole is right by the parking lot. It also has a gorgeous baseball field and a biking track through the park. Furthers mere, you can have kids play on the playground there. It was a great course that was well maintained, easy to find the holes and where to throw from, and short for new beginningers.

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.

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.

How fun to be able to swing with your baby and face each other! My toddler really liked the roped climbing sphere. Once inside, we were able to spin him around like a merry go round. The park is outdoor adventure themed with features like traipsing through treetops, canoeing and climbing. We liked the hidden woodland creatures under the play structure too. There is a separate area for tots and children 5 to 12 years. Lots of slides, swings for all ability levels and a tot teeter totter. There is a shared parking lot with Courts Plus.

I plan on doing the whole trail in the future.

The playground area is set up for children ages 2-5 on the north end and 5-12 on the south end. The play area is super clean and well maintained. The kids stayed in the north end of the park and didn't tire of the unique climbing wall, and unusual things to climb and swing on. One set was a standing swing which I hadn't seen before but the kids loved it. This park has the usual slides, swings and such, but the unusual sets were well thought out and fun. There also is an area for picnics and a covered area where we saw a large children's party. There are facilities as well, but we never used those. Lots of benches and picnic tables. We will be back. Highly recommend.

The water, too, is stagnant an unappealing for fishing or enjoying a bench. Given that this is also, apparently, The Glen Ellyn Arboretum, you'd think it would be in a better and more appealing state. With a little time and effort this park could be revitalized to something that would encourage visitors and enjoyment.
