Chestnut Branch Park - Sledders

****Wintertime Only Review****…read more We heard this park was a great place to sled in the area, so when we got enough snow this year to partake, we pulled out the sleds and headed on down. Gotta say; they were right. While the park WAS a bit crowded, there was still enough room for everyone to get a "lane" to sled. I particularly liked how there was a big hill, for the teens and more adventurous types, and then a smaller, but still useful hill for the little ones. (Also, if you came in basically sideways, where the entry way to the park is, it was basically a medium sized hill.) There is a playground and tons of open space, and even though it was PACKED, there was a lot of room for parking. Signage was a little off, as there is a "bridge" in the parking lot, and someone literally drove their car off of it in the snow, because it wasn't marked. *shoulder shrug* I'm nitpicking at this point. I'm sure this park is just as nice in the nice weather, and it's definitely our first stop for sledding if an when it snows again.

This is great playground for the younger set. It has swings for babies & bigger kids. There are…read morealso 2 different size playsets for toddlers & older kids. Adjacent are basketball courts & multiple basketball hoops for practising shots etc. Also on the grounds are tennis courts and what I believe is a sand volleyball/horse shoe court area. They have a pavilion for parties and restrooms on-site. A long looping trail is used for leisurely family walks and more serious joggers alike. Ample parking and close proximity to Dippy's ice cream stand on route 45 make this park worth the extra miles in our book.

As much as I love going out on the lake and kayaking, this is not appropriate for little kids. The…read moreplayground is so unsanitized and it's so dirty. I mean, I get it surrounded by a bunch of sand and a lake and trees, but that doesn't excuse it. The bathroom is locked most of the time and after 7 PM the bathroom is locked for the whole night so you have to do a little tinkle out in the pond. It is gross I know, right? So my little ones like to run around the playground and they're the right age for it but sometimes things get broken and it shuts down and my husband he goes out kayaking and then my wife goes out partying at the nightclub so my little kiddos, they like to run wild on the thing and I don't know how this can slide but it's very small and no after they turned one year older they're not gonna like this place mark my words. I love going kayaking at this place and my whole family does but Thing is I don't really like going on the playground so small. I broke my neck here once and the grass is so brown. I don't even know how to believe it. So that's all I have to say after I broke my neck here I came kayaking and I fell into the sewer, but it's OK. I got myself out with the crew rescue teams and then the wildfires happened and then it was a very tragic day, but I'm not gonna talk about it because I don't wanna cry again. Oh my God don't cry don't cry don't cry cry let it all out. That was my husband by the way and my wife. They're the same person. They transitioned a few years ago, so they were a girl and now their husband, but I don't even know what to say my kiddo my kiddos they love this place, but not for long because I'm gonna mark their words out of here. Here's a picture of my broken neck injury. I hope you guys can take this into consideration before coming here because this place is wonderful masterful but I just don't know how much I can trust the employees anymore not there is any employees which is also a red flag there's no employees and who would have their birthday party here. I saw someone having a birthday party here earlier and it was gross and disgusting. It makes my skin boil. I don't know why anyone would have a birthday party here it's really boring, but I feel like if you had a few more attractions like maybe a Ferris wheel or a waterslide or maybe a roller coaster I could maybe come here a little more often and get you guys more money thank you. Please take into consideration my review and please accept this token of a accomplishment. You guys have done well.

Wow - it's not often that you can find totally free kayaking these days! We walked up, filled out a…read morewaiver, got our life jackets, and we were on the water within 5 minutes! We paddled out into the lily pad area that had a clear spot to go through. We saw lots of turtles and a few beaver dams (didn't spot the beavers though). There were sooo many pretty blue dragonflies that liked to land on our boat and sometimes us! We also saw some floating snail shells in the water. Our paddle took about an hour, and they allow you to borrow the kayaks up to 2 hours. After our paddle we checked out the playground for a bit. It was perfect for our 4 year old. It has 4 big kid swings and 2 baby swings and areas for the both the bigger kids and little ones.
