My four year old granddaughter gave this park five stars and two thumbs up so who am I to argue with a Park subject matter expert like her! This is a great place with lots of well built solid play structures and swings that will excite any child. The city of Brighton has done a really good job of building and maintaining this play park and the location being in the center of downtown is walking distance to all the wonderful business that this city has to offer. Nothing like taking the small ones out to play and burning some energy off before sitting down at one of Brightons nice restaurants for a bite to eat which is exactly what we do when we go here! read more

I love this park. My little sister and I come here maybe 3-4 time a year, but every time its a blast. The park is fun, the ducks and geese are calm, and there is tons of small businesses around that you can visit. read more

Really enjoyed this park. There is a ton for kids to do. It is completely fenced in, so kids can run around freely. There is a rest room very close by and the ducks from the pond you can see from the park. The park is great for kids of all ages as it has something for all kids. read more

I honestly can't think of anything that would make the Imagination Station in downtown Brighton a better place to take our daughter to play. When we first arrived, I noticed the fence placed in a maze all the way around the playground. At first I thought it mildly annoying, until I realized that it made it much easier to keep your child where you could see them. Any child trying to 'escape' had plenty of barriers before they hit the Mill Pond! The play area had lots of fun toys to climb on/through/around, as well as the 'old-fashioned' stuff like swings. They even had the one thing I watch for lately with a toddler - bucket swings (she can't sit upright on the other ones well enough yet). If your kids are big enough to play on their own, there are even seats to rest on while the little ones run around. The one thing there that I haven't seen at some other parks? Public restrooms within sight of the park. read more

My daughter likes playing here. It is starting to show some wear and tear but overall it's a great place to let your kids loose! If you get there early in the day you can look for coins hidden in the playground that get you a free lollipop at Oh My Lolli next door! Early is good anyways because it isn't very shady and it gets HOT there in the summer! The whole shopping experience is like kid heaven over there! First, you play at the imagination station, then go watch them make candy at Oh My Lolli, then follow the bubbles coming from the bubble machine at Jacks Frozen Custard, then walk around the corner and go pet puppies at the Pawsitively Spoiled puppy shop! read more

Awesomeplace!!! - only thing I'd change is adding a gate so little ones are trapped in. It gets very crowded and you can loose sight of a child in a second. With an ally and pond right on the other side of the playground- this makes me a little nervous.... and I know someone is gonna state the obvious - "just watch your kid".... but we're all human and I think a gate would be a great addition in making this a safer park for all! read more

This place is an absolute must! All ages of kids will love it. The extra long wrap around path makes you feel a little more secure with little ones running all over the place. The bathrooms are close and decent, not a first choice but no public bathroom ever is!! Bring your lunch and sit down at one of the picnic tables and enjoy! read more

The Imagination Station in Brighton is the best park ever. As for the wear and tear, it is ALL FIXED! Yahoooooo Thanks to a wonderful group of parents and the City working together the entire playground has been restored. If you are interested in joining our volunteer group, please send an email to brightonimaginationstation@gmail.com or LIKE us on Facebook Brighton Imagination Station for updates and news read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I love that there is only one way in and out, so you can station yourself near the entrance and chat with the other parents while knowing your children are safely confined and not in any danger of falling in the nearby pond. They also have quite a few picnic tables around the play area, so you can grab a pizza from neighboring Stonefire Bistro without interrupting the kids play time...too much, at least:) I also love that there there are two family restrooms right outside of the play area, so you can take one child to the bathroom without taking your eyes off the entrance to the Imagination Station. Warning: All four times I/my children have used the restrooms here, they were NASTY!!!! It is posted that there are two volunteer clean-up days at the playground per month...and by the looks of the bathrooms, I wholeheartedly believe that the bathrooms are only cleaned twice a month, as well! Overall, your kids will love this place and will play for hours on end....well worth the drive out to Brighton! read more
