I was in the area from Pittsburgh and was looking for an outdoor activity for my 7 year old. Found…read morethis playground online and really loved that it was made for kids of all abilities. The space is set very nicely - with areas for parents to sit that are shady or sunny. The activities are impressive, as the little (big) buildings for the kids to play in really allow for them to use their imaginations to play. Great to see a playground have both the physical activities and imagination type of activities. We really enjoyed it and will return when we're in the area again. The only negative, which doesn't really reduce my rating at all, nor does it keep the kids from having fun, is the fact that some areas do need some repair work. This is why it's important to leave a donation on your way out, if you're able. Hopefully this park can be maintained for years to come!

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 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.

There is also a playground, basketball court, soccer field, and grass filled baseball diamond. Nothing fancy, but the grounds seem to be well kept, although probably not highly used. There are a couple parking spots, a picnic shelter and a restroom. My only disappointment was that the water fountain did not work. Typical park rules like open from dawn to dusk, pets on a leash, pick up your dog poo, and no alcohol. I would definitely visit this park again, especially if I'm looking for a quiet place to walk.

The leaves made it a little difficult to find the trail, but nonetheless it was really pretty. I loved the stairs within the park as well. One thing to mention- you definitely don't want to miss Mill Creek falls. It's the TALLEST waterfall in the county. However, it's a little bit of a walk from the nature reserve parking lot (I think it took us like 40 min), and my only complaint is that the trail spits you out onto the road for a bit, but then connects you to another trail that takes you to the waterfall. (I wish it was more continuous). You can also drive there since there's a small parking lot near the falls as well.

A cool memory of the course are the wooden steps leading up to the former first tee. Signs show the distances of the many paths. There is shade, but bring a water bottle.

A Monarch caterpillar was on a milkweed plant, and the milkweeds are everywhere. Love trees? Lots of oak trees and others line the paths. Redwing blackbirds were chirping. In the mornings and evenings I've was told you can see a lot of deer. A shelter is available for group events. There are a few picnic tables under the trees. More tables are needed.
