    A great and clean playground for small children. Bring your tennis racket or your basketball if you so wish. Street parking only, and clean restrooms. This park is full of kids playing on a sunny day!!

    I am a nanny and took the kids I watch to Orchardly Park today. It was a 40 minute drive, but worth it! The playground was amazing and the playsets were great. Everything looked meticulously maintained. In fact, there was a park worker there blowing grass and sand off of the sidewalks to keep them clear. The area was just beautiful! The kids had an absolute blast. Between the giant sand pit, unique climbing equipment and gorgeous environment - it was great and we will be going back. The only reason I gave this park 4 stars is because the splash pad was down - the activator had been duct taped so the water wouldn't turn on. This was the main reason I chose to go to this park rather than any other, and the kids and I were quite disappointed upon realizing the splash pad wasn't an option - especially on a hot summer day. It ended up being a great time, even without the splash pad! I, and the kids, definitely recommend this park!

    Water fun! #orchardlypark

    I was staying with my daughter, son-in-law and grandson Jude in Dayton two weekends ago. My daughter told me about this wonderful park that Jude loves to play at. It was a sunny afternoon and it was easy to find a spot to park on the street. Here are several swing sets with swings for both little and older kids. There is a seesaw that Jude and a little girl enjoyed a lot. The waterworks area is a bit smaller than others but clearly a big draw for families. It has a nice canopy area for some shade to sit and relax while the kids play. The biggest draw is the sand pit with running water and shovels, trucks and a water trough. Jude loves it! He also liked climbing on the large play structure next to the sand pit that had the bigger slide and swings and a fun and challenging bridge to climb across. The only downside is the lack of shade by the sand pit area on a hot sunny early afternoon but the kids did not seem to mind that. I did not go over there but I saw that on the other side of the park is a field to run and play in with a picnic shelter and restrooms. I hope I can return here with jude to have more fun. Also it is worth mentioning that Orchardly Park is just a few blocks away from a Graeter's ice cream where you can get a delicious treat to eat at the park. Until next time be kind to each other. #orchardlypark

    Great park for all ages. Our two year old loved the sand pit area and slides. Bathrooms were in need of some tlc.

    Since our first visit back in 2015 we've been quite a lot. My review has changed a little, but not…read moremuch. The park is really nicely maintained. They have also added a little wetlands area nearby to explore. The park features a splash pad, a gym structure, swings, tennis courts, baseball fields, picnic shelter, bathrooms, and plenty of green space. My kids enjoy the splash pad and have become braver with it. They also like the playground. The slides and ground get really hot during the summer so I'd wish they'd do something about that. I think the playground is a decent size, but pretty small during the very busy summer months. I like that the splash pad is open and my kids can run around and still be easily spotted. They have ample parking even with daycare/camp buses.

This place, as the other reviewer mentioned so kindly (helped me to find it!) is off of the beaten path and if you don't know where it is you will most likely miss it. Even my GPS couldn't find the address! You just have to know it is across the street from Bills Donuts, up the hill a little and to the right. There is a concrete sign at the corner that lets you know it's time to turn! The park itself is a decent size with a lot of variety within it's walls. You can play ball, take a stroll in the grass, enjoy their really fun looking water park area I am assuming comes on once it is hot enough outside. There is a really modern well maintained play area for kids with a working water fountain (pretty rare these days, eh?) and really unique elements within the play structure like the huge rocking booth see-saw for example. I would have gone crazy for this place as a kid! I took a ton of photos and posted them to the listing, if you want to get a better idea of the play structure. It really is wonderful, I highly recommend a visit! We drive 30 minutes out of our way for it once a month, and it's always an enjoyable experience.

    This park is great for kids of all ages! There are two separate parks- one geared toward younger…read morekids and the other geared toward older kids! The 3 year old I took had a blast at both! In the "little kid" playground area there are smaller stairs to climb and things to balance on. There are tunnels, a little picnic table at the bottom, and some steering wheels to spin. In the "big kid" playground the climbing is taller and definitely more advanced. The 3 year old had trouble reaching some things, but nonetheless tried! There are two awesome and obscure shaped monkey bars, many spinning seats, and large slides! They also have a great area with various giant musical instruments to play. On the far side of the playground there is a splash pad. It was still on and running today! This park is wide open and had so much space for the kids to run and play. There are many picnic tables with shade and a large shelter too! We LOVED this park!!

There is a nice covered picnic area with water fountains (including a tall one to fill up a bottle), and a paved, covered path to the restrooms. There is a Men's, women's, and family restroom. There is a lot of shaded areas for parents to sit and relax while the littles wear themselves out.

    This park is awesome. I want to take the slide, but fear being seen as a creeper. The spider web…read moreis cool as well. I can climb it to save my child that went to high. The zip line is popular. With dad's lining up to make kids go faster if they ask to. Many shaded areas for parents to be within running distance if something happens. Everyone is very cordial and looking out for the other little ones. I hope my little ones will have lost interest shortly before they become parents.

Probably the most unique thing is what my husband calls the zip line. I've frequently found the handle bar you hang from and whiz across a level bar about 7 ft. Long. This is a similar idea. But instead of a handle bar, there is a long pole with a circular seat at the bottom. This seat hangs about a foot and a half from the ground. Depending on height, size, age, ability you can decide to either sit or stand on this seat. My two year old boy sat on it with no problem. But considering my large belly getting in the way, I decided to stand. Anyway, this thing is twice as long as any other I've seen! And it's like a very wide "V" shape. So it gives to momentum in the first half to make it back up through the second. So fun!! Other unique attractions include a SUPER long slide (not actually very steep, but at the top of a hill and quite long - some families bring paper to sit on in order to slide faster), statues of large turtles and one of those large disc swings. Such a fun place! I take my boy here when we're in the area.
