Orchardly Park is an excellent park for kids of all ages! There are swings (for babies and big…read morekids), many play sets (even a smaller one for younger kids), a splash pad, a sand pit, basketball courts, and a picnic shelter. I took an almost one-year-old baby here today. It is only street parking, but there were plenty of spots. The park has many trees, so there were spots of shade for us to rest. Many kids were playing at the park! But we played in the sand and used one of the many baby swings! This park is so much fun for kids of all ages! I brought a baby that's walking with assistance, and she had a blast! Other kids seemed to love running around and then cooling off in the splash pad. Highly recommend going here with your kiddos to get out of the house!

This is a great park for big and little kids! There's a little sandy area for babies with…read moreconstruction trucks in it. You can pretend you're a construction worker. LOL. There's about six swings, two or three playgrounds, and more baby swings. Parking isn't too bad here either. And, for the big kids, there's basketball hoops and tennis courts. The restrooms weren't too bad. (Unlike Shoup park - there's just a port-o-potty there!). The restrooms are next to the tennis courts.

Love this park! I'm so happy another moment mentioned it on one of my Facebook groups because it's…read morein a part of town we're always in AND it's got the coolest little zip line slash swing thing! It's so awesome! The kids love it and even adults have fun!! I do have to say there isn't much for the real little kids. It's just got one little train with a small slide and for some reason my daughter just isn't into it. But by next spring she'll be big enough for some other things and she'll be more entertained. This place also has swings, trucks to dig in a sand pit and some big slides and things to climb.

I haven't been here regularly in quite a few years lately because my kids are bigger now. I ran a…read morerace that came through the park and it's still a little hidden gem to me. Could it use some updates, sure, but I'm sure Kettering is getting there. The front of the park is a skate park and the back has a playground, path, disc golf course, picnic shelters, and a pond. The park also leads you to the Kettering Rec Center. I love that the park is rubber mulch. I also like the really cool and unique play structure. I do not remember the pond being so big so I feel like that has had an upgrade in the last few years. It looked nice. I'm not sure if you fish there or not. I do think they need to figure out how to get bathrooms back near where the shelters and playground are because if not you are walking up to the way front. The paths are in nice condition and connect to the neighborhoods for longer walks or runs.

It also has two baby and regular swings, monkey bars, and one of those gliders. There is a lot of green space and a small hiking trail that leads to another park entrance.

It's a nice little place for kids to play, perfect for those five and under.

Google took me right there, but I felt like I was not going in the right direction. It's in a residential area and the parking area is not what I was thinking of compared to other MetroParks. About that parking area, there is not a lot of parking. It's a super small lot with maybe 15-20 spots and the day we went was fairly busy. We got lucky and found a place, but I could see a lot of people giving up and not visiting because of the lack of parking. The park itself it beautiful. It's pretty small, but well maintained. There are hiking trails, a playground area, green space, bathrooms, and picnic shelters. The park backs up to one of the golf courses in the Dayton area. The playground area is so neat. It offers a traditional play area and a nature play area. It's covered by a lot of trees so it provides great shade. They also have a giant sandpit. I do wish they had more swings by the actually playground. It made it hard to keep an eye on my older one and still let me little guy swing. Overall a really cool park and one we will return too!

This is one of the access points to the main trail (Adirondack Trail) that goes through this…read moreMetroPark. The trail itself is pretty much an out-and-back route with a couple of side trails that go into the neighborhoods or just an alternate route. While the vast majority of the trail is "in the woods", the park is sandwiched between the golf course and the houses but (at least while I was there) the area was pretty quiet. Admittedly, it was a cool winter morning without much sunshine. In any case, the area seems to be a popular place for walking or hill running, either on the trails or the park road. This park, while not one of the largest or most secluded, is a great place for a quick escape. This trailhead has a playground, a pavilion, and bathrooms. It also is located in the middle of a neighborhood so easily found. Check it out.
