There's also a nice music section with several instruments to play. The playground was a bit hit.

There are several parking lots available throughout the park, such as near the athletic complex and another by the playground, which is also the location of a trailhead. We were interested in going for a hike, so we were looking for the trails. It would be helpful if a map and/or signage was available - we had to go off of pictures and maps posted on non-official sites and still had some fun adventures trying to figure it out. The trails never went far enough away from a road or buildings to be concerned that we'd actually get lost, so we were comfortable exploring. There is one wide, short trail that is what is now a fenced maintenance area. The trail goes through a grassy area and lets you get down near the stream and look around. It was nice until it dumped us out on the other side of the maintenance area with no clear direction on how to get around it and back to the beginning of the loop, despite being able to see it. We were, however, able to see another trail going through the woods from there, so once we managed to get back we decided to check out part of the wooded trail, which seemed quite a bit longer than the grassy trail. It had a lot of neat features like cute bridges, large stones functioning as steps, and the like. It was a very nice area. We eventually hopped off at the trailhead that we discovered is located by the playground. I'd love to go back and explore more of the woods - it looks like (from a trails website) there's actually 2.7 miles back there.

Accessed from Scioto-Darby bordering its north, the park is tucked between neighborhoods, fields, and golf courses. Mark K. mentioned in his review circa 2015 that there was no easy bike connection between Homestead park and here. In the five years since that weakness has been rectified with an off-road bike path running down Lappert Rd. This is the way I cycled here. Just turn south from the Heritage Trail, left at the round-a-bout at Darby, and cross the street into the bike access. The park was eerily silent for the sunny summer Saturday I visited on my ride. Normally you'd expect the place to be jumping on such a gorgeous day, but the pandemic has damper things. Connected to that fact, the public pool here is closed for the year. Normally, the Family Aquatic Center, as it is called, would be full of swimmers using its leisure pool, sports pool, lazy river, slides, and children sections. Now it has a weird, abandon amusement park feel, with the rides sticking up like ruins over the wall, and ghostly echoes of screams, laughs, and splashes that should be here coming to mine in the quiet. What I call a 'sports park' the grounds hold fields for baseball/softball, lacrosse, soccer, and disk golf. Basketball courts and tennis are of course are found, as well as horseshoe ring. There is a small amphitheater and a large sledding hill half-mooning the grounds like a Native American mound. There are some art park landscaping here, especially near the fishing pond, a rustic body split by a wood bridge. There are several shelter houses here to rent. The running/riding trail isn't all that great, but it does breeze through the heart of the park. There are several connectors that leads to and from the surrounding neighborhoods. There is also a rustic food garden found here. On the east is a Veterans Memorial garden with colorful flowers, waving flags, and reflective stones ingrained with locals who gave the ultimate price. In all a good city park with lots of amenities, easy access, and just enough artwork to give it character.

I grew up in this neighborhood and still live here and I visit this park regularly. For its size I think it offers a great deal. Some of its amenities include: a field large enough to play football or soccer; a large oval-shaped paved trail to walk, run or rollerskate on; a playground for children; a gazebo shelter; tables and benches; and parking. During the warmer months the park gets full of people on Sundays. It is a great day to go if you enjoy people watching. I highly recommend it and encourage you to check it out if you live in the area.

However it soon proved to me that it's not even worth the money. The last time I went, I took my 6 year old little brother. Along with my older brother, his girlfriend and her daughter who was 2. A whole mess of things happened, and I was left with the children, which I was okay with, however problems happened with the 2 year old, and I had to get out, leaving my little brother in close eyes view, in the kiddie pool. I turn my back for 2 seconds and he's vanished. From what he said after, he was trying to swim out to our older brother, and started drowning. I saw this and immediately jumped in the 4ft of water, to save my little brother, mind you he was directly in front of 2 lifeguards, who weren't paying any attention what so ever. I did make a comment, a rude one, because this is their job. Yes leaving him unattended wasn't the responsible thing to do, but that is exactly what the lifeguards are there for. I took him out of the water, and got him relaxed, then walked over to tell my brother and his girlfriend what happened, also asking them to go grab the toy that some other family had stole from us, and in the corner of my eye I see the same lifeguards in the corner, laughing at me. This didn't bother me any, but it's the blatant disrespect this pool has shown, especially to a 6 year old. I reported this behavior, and the situation to the manager, who was also extremely careless. He was at least professional, and said he would talk to the lifeguards, but that truly isn't good enough. Being a lifeguard isn't just about spending all summer at the pool, you are there to try and save lives. We need to stop hiring disrespectful, incompetent teenagers.
