This large, green park is situated on the edge of town, along the Crow Creek (also named after an Indian tribe.) The park is along a big loop that you can barely fit a car down most of the way. There are plenty of places to pull off in the shade and park and get out and explore the varied landscape of Chautauqua Park. The park offers a wide range of activities, from frisbee golf, to horse and hiking trails, to soccer goals, and playgrounds. There's lots of areas to just explore, with big hills and the stream that meanders through the park. There's a little something for everyone here. The park is large enough that you can get your own area to play, or meet up with others to relax. The park seems to have a lot of history. It's clean. Not very well lit, but still feels safe since you're in this small town.

This is such a cute park. It had disc golf! It also connects to the loop trail which is amazing…read more Take a stroll there! You won't regret it.

Look around Fairfield, and you'll find old pictures of the Victorian spire that overlooks the park even before they had paved roads going through Fairfield. This park has a gazebo at the center where they have events going on- dj's, dance parties, and so on. When we went, they were even having a Kiwanis pancake breakfast and a parade. Fun! The park has landscaping and is lit at night. There's a statue of one of the first settlers to Fairfield right outside the gazebo. Along the park, there are lots of fun local businesses that are great to window shop and check out. Parking is easy- there's lots of spots in front of the park, and even more a block away. It's easy crossing the street to get to the park, with crosswalks all over the place to accommodate pedestrians. The park is ADA compliant! They seem to take the decorating of this park seriously. You should check it out if you're passing through Fairfield.

Kinda the only reason I went was to see the caves. Theres alot of litter as well. I didnt get to see inside the building, but the rock climbing literally has boards nailed to it so its closed I guess. No mask requirements but I mean the only thing you can do it walk through paths, everythings out of order or closed. They have benches everywhere so you can enjoy the view of the many closed sites. If you want a workout rather then an experience, here's your wet dream.

Beautiful park with plenty of scenic picnic areas, a campground, boating access, and hiking…read moretrails...we went on the shorter, woodsy Honeybee Hollow and Loop Trails--about one and a half miles total. The trailhead is located across from the park office. The Honeybee Trails aren't too strenuous or hilly, but you won't see the lake (there is a longer trail around its perimeter, about seven and a half miles). The main park road was a little difficult for us to find (GPS took us to a back entrance which was closed) so if you end up on Agency just make sure to take the right turn if you want to find the beach and park office (which is off of Racine). There also wasn't any signage for the park until we were right at the Agency Road entrance. The drive was well worth the visit, though.

We popped over this weekend for some fresh air and fall family photos. I am always just in awe of how busy the park is year round. Since my last review both of my kiddos have had the chance to take school field trips out to visit the Conservation Education Center, which is located at the park. It offers year-round educational programs and workshops. The staff is knowledgeable and the kids always have a blast. There's something for everyone at this gem. A bird blind for bird watchers. Access to the entire shoreline for anglers. Nine miles of trails for hikers and cross-country skiers. Seven historic bridges for photographers and families looking for fun family photos :) A large campground for campers-- available April through October. As well as a handful of picnic shelters (available via reservation). And, of course, Kent Park beach, my family's favorite (open Memorial Day through Labor Day) -- it is pristine, free and a great time. Overall, FW Kent Park is a wonderful place to get outside and clear your head. Drive over and explore today!

Oh and what draws me is the running path that goes over the interstate to the high school on the other side and beyond. I do miss the apple trees. We used to collect them and press them and make cider. I know you can also rent the gazebos for parties through the parks and rec division. Lots of open green space!
