I happened to stumble upon this park as I was picking up a few items in the Westchester area. I had…read morea friend mention this park to me a few weeks before I decided to check it out. I just happen to pass the sign for the park, so I decided to head out for an adventure. It had just rained before I visited this park, so the trails were slightly muddy. I would love to go back once all the leaves and bushes are full of their green leaves and when the trail is not slippery wet and muddy. However, I happened to see some people trail running, as I was exploring. This would be a great place to do that! According to the map next to one of the trails I was exploring, it looks like there is about a 2 mile loop that crosses over the creek in two spots. You can walk this, hike it, or even decide to run the path. There are multiple entrances down to the trail. I ended up taking a muddy downhill to the creek, but as I begin walking, I realized that there were other places that led to the creek that had a set of stairs. If you are exploring and don't see a great way to get down to the creek, look around for an easier access. There are plenty! This park also has a beautiful amphitheater. It would be the perfect place to have a summer show or sit to enjoy a concert in the park. I did see a family with small children riding their bikes. They were a bit disappointed to discover that the trail was not suited for bikes. If you are looking to bike, I would not pick this specific park. However, if you are looking for a nice walk or a not too difficult hike, this park is for you!

A variety of trails lead down into a nice wooded area along a creek to explore. We were able to see a number of small fossils down there. There are multiple access points (some with stairs, some without, as well, depending on your preference), so referring to the map or keeping an eye on the trail markers can be helpful for wayfinding. There is also a mountain biking trail. The other side offers closer proximity to the sports area, which includes pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts. Fun place to visit!

The pretty Todd Pond offers a nice place to sit and relax and also allows fishing. A couple of shelter houses and a gazebo, with picnic tables, are available.

A clean restroom is available, and there are two paved parking lots available on either side.

This is a good gathering spot. Although it's in a suburb, it doesn't feel like it. It has several miles of trails that are mostly quiet. The only exception is when there's a concert at the amphitheater, but it's usually something like jazz and not ear shattering. Chances are you will have the trails mostly to yourself if there isn't a concert. The trails are covered in gravel, which helps keep your shoes from getting muddy. It has a few public bathrooms. These aren't the cleanest but they are kept up. If you don't know where it is, you may pass it a few times before noticing it. It's located along Cooper Road. The entrance is next to the police station.

There is nice shade throughout the park, which makes it a great choice even during hot, sunny days. The playgrounds have a variety of equipment, so it's worth exploring each of them if you can encourage your little ones to resist the urge to stay only on the first one on the path. One has a sandbox, another has a neat seesaw that little ones can stand on and bounce back and forth with a friend. Well worth a visit!

There were also several covered picnic areas if you're looking to host an outdoor party, and even an outdoor basketball court. The walking path was well maintained, albeit a bit hilly at times. Portions of the trail go straight through the trees, which makes you feel extremely connected to all of the nature surrounding you. There was plenty of parking available - and on a Sunday morning around 11, there weren't many people walking. We only ran into two other groups the entire time we were on the trail, which is always a welcome relief when you've got a very friendly dog with you. From afar, the playgrounds didn't seem that busy either, although this may have been due to the cloudy weather. I think we'll definitely work Pride Park into our weekend walking rotation.

The rest of the park is quiet. Along with the baseball field are some basketball courts. It also has a playground, so it has something for the younger children.

The northern entrance is located off of Ferns. The baseball field is there. If you want a quiet park, this is a good choice. It's a neighborhood park so there isn't usually a lot of people there, just some residents playing with their kids. This park usually is safe.

I grew up right down the street from this park so I would often visit with my parents. My family were members of the swimming pool that used to be operated here but no longer exists. Now the park just looks empty, I didn't see a soul in it when I walked through the other day. There are basketball courts and several baseball courts. There is a pavilion you can walk around inside and a playground. It seems that the playground is currently closed as there was orange caution tape around the whole thing. It looked like the monkey bars had fallen down. Even with the lack of activities in the park, it still is beautiful and has great pathways for walking around on a nice day.

It's not too grueling, if you want to walk all of it. The park has a spot overlooking the Ohio River. It has signs directing you from the 275 exit. It's very helpful. The park is located along Five Mile Road. It has a good size parking lot at the entrance. There usually is more than enough room. At the beginning of the trails is the Withrow home. This is the only location of bathrooms in the park. It has a couple trails through the woods that each loop around. The better one is the Trout Lily Trail. It's a couple of miles to walk all of it. The best part is the overlook of the Ohio River. It has a small clearing with some benches. The view isn't great because it's far away, but you can still see parts of the river. If you're in Anderson Township and have a few hours for walking, this is the best place for it. It could use some more bathrooms. There's a few located at the Withrow home, so go before you hit the trails.
