Orchardly Park is an excellent park for kids of all ages!

I took an almost one-year-old baby here today. It is only street parking, but there were plenty of spots. The park has many trees, so there were spots of shade for us to rest. Many kids were playing at the park! But we played in the sand and used one of the many baby swings! This park is so much fun for kids of all ages! I brought a baby that's walking with assistance, and she had a blast! Other kids seemed to love running around and then cooling off in the splash pad. Highly recommend going here with your kiddos to get out of the house!

There's about six swings, two or three playgrounds, and more baby swings. Parking isn't too bad here either. And, for the big kids, there's basketball hoops and tennis courts.

This place also has swings, trucks to dig in a sand pit and some big slides and things to climb.

Saturday September 26, 2020…read more We met at Paw Paw parking lot which is at the southern terminus of the Adirondack Trail. If you are looking for the children's playground don't park here, unless you want to hike 1.5 miles on the trail with some hilly traversing (not the best with young kiddos)! You'll want to get right back in your car and head north on Patterson Blvd then find the north parking lot (the name escapes me now). We learned this the hard way. Once we finally got to the playground my brother-in-law and I headed back to Paw Paw to pick up the cars. I personally didn't mind it so much, but the Mummy's were pretty frantic on their phones looking for the playground that they had heard about but didn't know exactly where it was. The kids didn't mind, bumbling along at their own pace. It was a pretty nice day for hiking and enjoying the outdoors of this park which is surrounded by Community Golf course on both sides.

The trails are short and easy to navigate with paved boardwalk as well, this would be a great park for small kids or dog walking.

Could it use some updates, sure, but I'm sure Kettering is getting there. The front of the park is a skate park and the back has a playground, path, disc golf course, picnic shelters, and a pond. The park also leads you to the Kettering Rec Center. I love that the park is rubber mulch. I also like the really cool and unique play structure. I do not remember the pond being so big so I feel like that has had an upgrade in the last few years. It looked nice. I'm not sure if you fish there or not. I do think they need to figure out how to get bathrooms back near where the shelters and playground are because if not you are walking up to the way front. The paths are in nice condition and connect to the neighborhoods for longer walks or runs.

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.

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.

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.
