It's absolutely beautiful but not as big as other parks and not much to do but just sit down on a swing and enjoy the birds singing, looking at the lush green grass. Such a shame that there are so few people taking advantage of the park on a beautiful day. There is a private campground right next to it that all the seasonal camper has to do is take a step into the state park. Unfortunately we drove there as that is where the maps/gps led us. The actual campground is 1.6 miles or so away. So you can only go to the camper with your rv via the road. I'm unsure if we are able to hike to the state park via the state campground.

I found Swing Time Sports Center a few years ago while looking for driving ranges in Findlay. It's…read moreone of only two dedicated driving ranges in Findlay, the other being Shady Grove. Swing Time has three parts, the Driving range, the batting cages, and the Putt putt course. I believe the batting cages are the only ones in Findlay. I've never used them but they seem to be pretty popular in spring. The Putt putt course is very nice. It's challenging without being too hard for the little ones. Now for the driving range. I use the driving range most frequently by far. There are a few reasons why this range is superior to Shady Grove. The number one reason I come here is the price. It's $5 for 2 tokens and $10 for four. Two tokens will fill a large basket easy. What I normally do is come in on Monday, buy four tokens for $10 and use two while I'm there and come back on Wednesday and use the other two. The second biggest reason is that the range faces east. Shady faces west and in the spring and fall you can't see your ball at all as you are hitting directly into the sun after about 5:30 PM. I can't tell you how nice it is to not have to fight the sun those times of the year. Another big plus is that there is a bucket of water and a brush just behind the grass tees to clean your clubs after you've hit. They regularly move their ropes for the grass tees to keep them nice as well. Now I don't know why they do this but for the last two years the green mats in the "indoor" section have been stacked up in a corner and they will not let you hit off them, stating that they are closed. I also don't know how accurate the yardages are, it kind of depends on where you are on the tees. This range also has some interesting props, including a bell, a brightly painted car tipped up at a 45 degree angle, and an orange cone on top of a hill. Also I'm pretty sure this place is cash only. I'm not 100% sure but I've only ever paid in cash and have never seen anybody pay with a card, but then again I don't watch how everybody pays. Overall Swing Time is a great place for everyone! The Putt put course is very kid friendly and is also inviting if you're looking for a cheap date activity. The driving range and batting cages are also great for working on your game or just to blow off some steam. There are only a few minor drawbacks but nothing that would discourage me from recommending it.

The equipment to help you see your ball on the greens was really neat and the detail on each hole was very cool-I've never seen sand traps on a mini golf course before!

I found this place several years ago while trying different golf courses around Findlay…read more I was VERY surprised at how nice the course was, and in the last few years I've been playing there it's improved even MORE. Tom the owner has done a great job turning this place around and making it truly one of the best courses in the area. For the money you wont find anywhere that can compete with this course. A few years ago I joined the Thursday night mens league just wanting to get out and golf regularly. The price was probably the biggest draw for me to join the league. League fees are $35 (one time payment) and it's $10 to walk each week, an additional $7 to ride and $3 for skins. Seriously, how do you pass this up on a course this nice!? All the guys in the league are very friendly and accepting to new players. The league scoring is run on handicaps to level the playing field. So it doesn't matter how good or... not good you are. You also don't need to worry about keeping track of your score, average, or handicap as it's all taken care of by the guys who run the league. It you're a golfer looking for a nice course to play, Birch Run is well worth the time and money. I would highly recommend this course.

I tried various yoga, barre, and pilates' studios around the area and Releve is still where I choose to go! Releve offers a variety of barre and ballet 1-hr group classes, held in the AM/PM Monday - Friday and Sat AM class. All of these classes will give you a whole body workout, incorporate stretches in between sets, so you will leave feeling incredible. You will experience leaner muscles (not bulky), more flexibility, and great community support from the ladies you're in class with. I really value instructors that literally works out with you and motivates you to push yourself in each class. If you want to find a studio that treats you right and still get an amazing workout, try out a class with Releve!

I have been taking Bar Method in Chicago for the last two months and became INSTANTLY hooked - the…read morefeeling I had when I left my first class was indescribable, and I started noticing changes in my body almost immediately. When I found out I would be traveling to Michigan for Thanksgiving, I knew I had to find a class in the area to satisfy my 'barre addiction.' I am so glad I found Relevé! Relevé is a barre fitness studio located right off Woodward in Birmingham. It's small so the classes feel more intimate and you have better visibility from the instructors. There is also a lot of parking available, so it's easy to just pop in and start the class (as opposed to a huge commercial studio/gym in which you have to park far away, go through locker rooms, etc.). I attended three classes when I was in town - one with Donna (cardio) and two with Beth (basic and cardio). They are both WONDERFUL instructors (with beautiful ballet bodies, so you know this class works!) and gave me very challenging workouts. They were both patient, knowledgeable and able to describe the different moves and benefits as we transitioned from section to section. I instantly felt the 'burn' and lots of good shaking in my muscles during each of our sets. If you are unfamiliar with barre, I highly encourage you to check out barre and this studio. You don't have to be an expert ballerina to do well- you just have to have a positive mental attitude and a willingness to work hard. You will notice changes in your body immediately! I only wish I could stay in Birmingham to take more classes at this studio. The next time I am in town, I will definitely be back! Thanks, Donna and Beth, for the great workouts!
