First of all, I'm honestly amused by some of the 1-star reviews complaining that it's crowded,…read morethere are flies and bugs, and people are playing loud music. LOL. Come on, people! This is a recreational area where people come to have a good time, BBQ, listen to music, and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. Of course it's going to get crowded on weekends and holidays. And if you're cooking BBQ outdoors in nature, guess what? There are going to be flies and bugs! That's just common sense. Okay, now for my actual review. I give Silverwood Lake 4 stars. It's a relaxing place to BBQ, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. Could it be cleaner? Absolutely. But I don't think that's completely the park's fault. Everyone needs to do their part. Pick up your trash, clean up after yourself, and help keep the public restrooms clean. If everyone respected the area, it would be a much nicer place for everyone. One important tip: If you're coming with a group, have someone arrive early when the park opens if you want to grab a good spot with picnic benches or a BBQ grill. It's first come, first served, and the good spots can go quickly, especially on busy weekends and holidays. Overall, it's a great place to BBQ, relax, enjoy the lake and nature, and have some fun. Stop worrying so much about a few bugs or the $20 parking fee. Pack your food, bring your family and friends, clean up after yourselves, and enjoy the day!

Micheal doesn't do any work obviously just sits there all day and charges as much as he can to park on his crappy piece of mud.... jackass. The trail sucks and the hot springs is nasty. And you might get hurt on this trail it's not even a trail. He makes it very clear that you will get lost at the beginning. yea because he doesn't maintain his trail or whatever he's up there claiming to be doing all day long everyday. Sure, buddy. Jackass. He claims to have shot one of his tweaker neighbors too, so that tells you what kind of guy he his right there telling a stranger you shot a tweaker. Real nice jackass. Then he tells you the tweakers will charge you 30 bucks a head to use their entrance and scams you outta 20 bucks instead, when his sign said $5 bucks a head, and 10 for overnight, yea buddy thanks for overcharging me too, jackass. No, I will not be coming back again just because of you.

There's a big sand pit, two playgrounds, maybe 5 slides. 6 swings. There's a lot of picnic tables as well. There's a sidewalk for you to ride your bike or scooter on. Overall it was a really nice spot. My only suggestion is to bring some toys to play with.

There's also a huge sand pit, a climbing structure for really young kids, six swings, a big field to play soccer or football (or whatever, really) and even public restrooms.

Some of the pieces they have for you to break are nigh indestructible (vintage furniture, go figure), but that lets you go all out. I have to say that the safety equipment is a little shoddy (gloves had holes, and the eyewear leaves you still pretty vulnerable to paint splashes going underneath). Also have to watch out for nails that fly out onto the floor. Be careful of the parking lot, too. Lots of glass everywhere, possibly from the stuff they bring in. Definitely can see someone popping a tire.

I had an appointment that was confirmed multiple times through both text and email, and after driving over an hour each way, I arrived to find the entire building dark -- every light was off -- and the place looked completely closed. I had called multiple times on the way there to let them know we'd be about 10 minutes late, no one answered, and yet the phone was sitting right next to Davian upon arrival, who seemed completely unaware of my booking. He then shuffled around like he didn't know what he was doing and appeared high. He was also sitting with a girl eating, and the whole situation felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. When I asked about my appointment, he first said, it would take him about 20 minutes to set up. By then I was uncomfortable and did not want to stay. When asking for a refund he responded "I don't work here," then changed it to, "I used to work here, I'm just helping out." He told me he couldn't process a reimbursement because his boss was at a Keith Sweat concert in Las Vegas and wasn't answering her phone, and that I'd have to contact her myself for a refund. I reached out to her multiple times and never received a single response. No refund, no apology, nothing. They've completely ignored me. For a place that calls itself a "family" activity center, this was one of the most unprofessional and uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. They wasted my time, energy, and money, and clearly don't care about their customers. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Playground: There is a pretty big playground for kids here, complete with slides, swings, ramps, playhouse -- the whole shebang. The ground is covered with wood chips, not sand, so that's nice. Pool: There's a pool area, with a big pool and a pool for little ones. Directly outside the pool is a cluster of picnic benches. Baseball field: The neat thing about this baseball field is that it's near a block of trees and grass, so you could watch the game while staying out of the hot sun. Snack bar: pretty self-explanatory. It's not open all the time -- only for baseball games and other special events. Tennis courts: The courts are lighted so you can beat the heat and play at night! Apparently, there's also a dog park and skate plaza here somewhere, but I haven't come across either one. That doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means I need to look harder next time I visit!

There's a lot of benches and tables for the parents to watch their kids nearby. One thing I will say, the park is super popular and it was very packed. All the kids we encountered were so sweet and kind towards each other. It was really nice seeing everyone get along and playing together. There's an office, a baseball field and bathrooms.
