Very OFF season, so there wasn't too much going on here, but I found my way to the lodge/playground area and took a nice, long-ish walk around the lake (approx. 1.7 miles!!) Looks like there's boats to rent and a nice patio to enjoy the view in warmer months, but I'm sure crowds are a BIT larger, as I pretty much had the place to myself in the hazy, drizzzly days of late winter. Seems to be a new-ish location, with main focus on sports fields. I'm just a tiny bit SPOILED by all of Ohioooooo's more lush, natural, "remote" state and metro parks, but this is not a bad choice, if you're in the area. And what better time to "symbolically" support the VOA, as it appears in political PERIL as of late...

Why Build a Playground Without Shade Trees? Went on a hot…read moresummer day. No shade and few places for the adults to sit, none shaded. Ohio does get sun, 8-10 hours of it, May through August with July and August lingering in the high 80's, commonly into the 90's. And humidity. My 2 and 4 year old Miami, FL grandchildren were too hot to play, as was some of the equipment, so we left after 15 minutes. They go to a shaded playground in Miami every single day.

A long drive north of downtown on I-75, the Voice of Freedom Park looks to be a relatively new…read morepark, or at least, a park that has seen a lot of changes recently. There is a huge, amazing playground, plenty of paved trails to walk, clean restroom facilities, and a beautiful lake to explore filled with birds and other aquatic life. However, Voice of Freedom Park, for the most part, doesn't feel very park-like. There is a ton of empty wasted space. Beyond what I mentioned above, the park is a bunch of overgrown farm fields with nothing. It's the perfect example of a park placed smack in the middle of suburban sprawl. It's artificial...so obviously man-made and sterile. It also doesn't help that the park is surrounded by shopping centers and office parks on all sides. This place desperately needs trees! Another downside is the fee for annual parking. It's $5 for an annual pass that gets you into all of the Butler County MetroParks. This is less than the pass for the Hamilton County Parks system, but we have tried several other MetroParks since buying our vehicle permit only to find most of them to be awful! They lack features and maintenance. Bummer! Overall, if you are in West Chester, this is an okay place to take lunch, take a stroll, or let the kids play. Otherwise, it isn't a destination.

Since it's a new park, the trees are not full grown. But a lot of birders come here to see ducks and other species native to prairies. There is a lake and snack machines and the paved trail meanders along the lake edge. They held some water-skiing competition finals here not too long ago. So, it's not a tiny lake. You can also fish and paddle boat. It's an interesting location; Voice of America park, because it's part of the whole VOA ("the official external radio and television broadcasting service of the United States federal government"-courtesy of Wikipedia) propaganda era left over from WWII . This locale was decommissioned during the Reagan era. However, VOA still operates. So, if you do a little (careful of your footing because of big divots in the earth) walking outside the park, proper, you can find the cement footings of the huge radio antennas that used to dominate the area (you can even see them on google maps if you look closely). Apparently, people who used to live here when it was active could receive the signal through their appliances even when their radios were not on (testimonial from my neighbor). You can still see the strange electrical grid for the antennas as you drive through the Tylersville entrance on your way to Rumpke's single-stream recycling drop off center.

There is very little green in the park anymore, which is unfortunate because it was really pretty. I am assuming that they are redoing the grass for the fields and the construction stopped during the outbreak. There are 4 tennis courts here and it is a pretty nice place to walk around. There are also softball/baseball fields and some basketball hoops, so there is a wide variety of sports that you can play while you are here. There is a well-paved sidewalk around the perimeter of the fields that is nice to jog through. It isn't my favorite park mostly because it is geared towards children to be able to play their respective sports, but if that is for you then this is a good park to get some practice in!
