Other than that, unless you're looking to fish or take the kids to the playground, you may be better served elsewhere. Towne park has a larger playground, Hill Climb Park is no slouch either, and has just as many, if not more display boards with historical information. But if you're walking around downtown and want to head towards the river, you can get here without having to wait at the light, like you would if you'd headed to Riverfront Park. This park, like Towne Park, does feature restrooms, which is not nothing.

I like it here. The…read morepark has a brand new (looking?) playground, a nice gazebo that I think you can reserve for special events, and a big sunken grassy field which we found perfect for soccer. Also you can walk through the park up to the edge of the Fox river and do some fishing if that's what you're in to. By they way, the bathrooms were probably the cleanest I've ever seen at a public park.

This also connects to other places by paths and sidewalks. A little history about it. It's one of the city's best parks. This was acquired in 1982 through a developer donation, so that was one kind thing from them. A few improvements have happened. In 1999 they added the shelter and first trail. Also they have added fish if you like fishing. The pond has bass, catfish, and walleye among others. Good little park for this town and close to lots of local attractions. It's located on Silver Lake Road north of the railroad bridge. The pavilion also has outlets to charge phones.

I used the entrance on the south as this is where to post is located with the osprey. This area is literally a road with a few parking spots at the end of it. There are no identifiable paths or walkways. There is a break in the tall grass on the east side of where you can park. This rounds around the right and brings you back directly to where the perch is located. The osprey was there when I visited but he didn't do much. Not sure if it was because it was drizzling, he was tired, or he didn't like my presence. Either way it was still pretty cool. The north end probably has a better view of the lake and the "bird island" that this lake holds. It is a truly phenomenal sight. If you like birds, Baker's lake is home to thousands of water friendly birds.

Coming to this park the first time it's surprising how big it actually is. Emricson Park has plenty…read moreof family friendly amenities and facilities throughout. It certainly is one of the largest parks in Woodstock. A lot of room for chilling or playing around. There's also natural beauty such as ponds. Basically it's popular with sports and youth leagues. It's got a lot of facilities for sports. These include for baseball, basketball, football, pickleball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. Of course there's more to do here. There's also pavilions, picnic tables, and playgrounds. Also grilling here is allowed. The park officials let visitors bring their own grills as long ad vials are properly disposed of, which is saying to not leave these burning like people seem to do a lot. For sure it's a park that's big. It's located on the west side of town. They allow sledding and snowshoeing in winter.

They kept directing us to the Barrington Club Park which is a few miles away. Anywho, once you find it, it is an awesome park. It has 140+ parking spaces and the area is huge. Perhaps its new, so thats why its awesome, but the grass was lush and green. They have soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball sand courts, a giant shelter to host BBQs, bocci ball courts, and nice clean bathrooms. Since the park is new, the trees were still somewhat small, so there wasn't a whole lot of shade besides the shelter they have there. The shelter can probably house at least 50 people easily with nice and clean tables. I'm writing this with a sunburnt forehead and upper shoulders. I usually don't get burnt but apparently I should have put on sunscreen. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a park to relax and play around and/or to host a nice sized BBQ. BATHROOM REVIEW: The bathrooms are located right next to the shelter. Inside, you will see a couple of urinals and a nice sturdy stall. The inside of the bathroom was rather dim, but maybe its because it was so darn sunny outside. Anywho, they didn't have paper towels but a nice hand dryer. For now, there were no mosquitos and it was super clean. The stall looked very sturdy. Sit or squat? I'd sit after a long day of playing. Aint nobody got time to squat
