If it used to be fun but modern society has deemed it "dangerous" it is here, For the first time ever, my kids got the pleasure of spinning on the play ground spinning thing! There are two different ones!!! Vintage slides, see-saws, flat swings and all the fun you could possibly have. There was a shelter area with picnic tables I believe, I didn't make it in there because I was playing. Nearby, there is a lot of nature to enjoy so there is something for everyone. I live 45 minutes away and I WILL make the trip back for some good old fashioned outdoor fun. Kids loved it too!

Parking right by the park can be tight, but you have a bigger lot across the road. This park also have a lot of baseball and softball fields plus soccer areas. They are all well maintained. The bathrooms all over the park are nice and clean. They have a really nice paved path that goes from the front of the park to the back sports fields. They also have a wetland path that connects to the other wetlands in the area. We just started playing more regularly on the baseball fields in the back and they are nicely maintained. Lots of sitting options including benches and bleachers. Overall a really great park.

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.

There is a nice paved trail around the exterior of the soccer fields with views of the river, fields, trees and the occasional deer. Along the trail are several fitness stations you can stop off and try an exercise or stretch. There are a few playground areas for children of different ages, a gazebo, and a shelter with restrooms. The restrooms (keep in mind they are PARK restrooms, not the Ritz) were functional and clean. The trail here connects to the Miami River bike trail which goes on for miles and miles. I recently learned that there is also a dog park and horse trails there, although I did not see them myself. This is a great place to get outdoors and enjoy the weather.

The path is in nice shape and the bike path is connected so longer runs or rides are easier to plan. The bathrooms could use some upgrades, but the picnic shelter is still pretty nice.

There are also bathrooms. The trails are well marked, but they really do not seem to match the map. That's my only complaint. But it's a small enough park that now that I've been there, I would know where to go next time. The gorge, the bridges, and the waterfall are all beautiful. There are several lookouts around the waterfall. It's all very picturesque and would be a great place for engagement or family photos.
