Cute hidden gem between Newtown and Anderson. It doesn't seem much like a park from the road but…read morefor families with kiddos who are looking for a super tall jungle gym, this is the space for you! At the bottom of the hill is a big baseball diamond and it looks like that's about it. BUT! If you drive up the lane you'll find Newtown's own Veterans Memorial, a huge covered picnic area (and I mean huge), a nice size kids play space, benches to sit and restrooms! We've come a few times and every single time there's either nobody at all or just a few folks. If you're looking for a quiet space to picnic or sit in the woods, this is a gem! It's especially nice for kiddos 3yo+ because they don't have to play survival of the fittest with a bunch of other kids on the playground.

This is a very pretty park perfect for kids since it has so many soccer fields baseball fields…read moretennis court and the playground It does only however have one loop for a trail that I could find I wish there were more trails maybe through the woods but other than that it's a nice park.

We stopped over the summer and had a great time. My kids loved the playground. It reminded my son…read moreof a local one in our area. The pond was a big hit too. We watched so many ducks and had a nice walk around it. This park has tons of green space as well and a memorial of some sort as well. Cool park and we will definitely stopped by again.

Nice and clean park. The park was rededicated in 1997, and the name was changed from Forest Park to…read moreVeteran's Park. Near the front of the park is a flag and monument with a replica of the Liberty Bell. The trail is a 0.4 mile "Jogging Trail." The path is wide, and covered in gravel. The width allows it to accommodate walkers and runners. The trail also doubles (or is it triples?) as a StoryWalk location, and a parcours trail. Pages from a children's book are posted along the trail; 19 pages were poated in all. Our first lap consisted of a leisurely stroll to reading the book. Subsequent laps had us picking up the pace. All of the parcours equipment looks to be well maintained. Playground has a little bit for every. (Under 12 that is.) This is both in age and ability. The playground includes a handicap swing, wheelchair ramp for the climbing structure, and a raised sand table that can accommodate wheelchairs. There is a playhouse and climbing fake logs with a woodland feel. We arrived at the park early, and had the playground to ourselves until about 10:30am. Along with the trail and playground, the park also boasts soccer fields, a baseball field, basketball court, picnic shelters with bbq and a fire pit. The fire pit may only be used by appointment only. As long as it is deemed safe weather, the Anderson Township park system will try and leave a bathroom unlocked.

This might be one of my favorite hidden gems in Anderson…read more This park is always empty! It amazes me that there's never more than a few walkers on the trail. If you're looking for a quiet place to read or take the kiddos, I recommend any week day morning. The walking trail/path is always clean and clear of debris. It is a quarter mile loop. The playground is one of the best. This tops Ault and Beech Acres and has better aspects than Juliffs. I love bringing my little here! There's a very large shelter by the playground, perfect for parties. It's huge! There's also a couple baseball diamonds so this park must get busy at some point! The only downfall is the name. I think often times it gets confused for the big helicopter park named Veterans Park. This is totally different, in the heart of Anderson. I recommend this park for a quiet getaway!

The staff was all teenagers and they did a good job. My only complaint is whoever their boss is…read moreSteve, he called multiple times when we were there on Sunday ( while we were checking in and it rained so we were in the shop waiting it out) and then proceeds to list off a million things for them to do without asking if they're helping customers. And if the fear they all showed when the phone would ring was any indication of what type of boss he is, of course they won't interrupt him to tell him they're with a customer. He called almost every time we were in the building, I'm sure he wants to make sure things are running smoothly, but dang the whole place freezes in fear when the phone rings. On another note you all should do cabins and expand a bit. Take a look at Waco Surf in Waco. We've stayed in their cabin and it was a lot of fun.

I didn't even know this place existed before a few days ago, but it was a BLAST! I went with 2…read morefriends to try the knee boarding, it was first of all a very cheap day. $25 got us a generous 2 hours (20 minutes were added on as well for free) on the cable. The $25 was all inclusive of life jackets, cable ticket, board, and helmet. There are plenty of obstacles and trick equipment in the wake oval for you to try if you're up for it. I didn't fall off at all, but if you do, a potentially long walk awaits you to get back to the launch station. NOTE: Beginners should have good core and upper body strength. Some friends had trouble staying on the tow line due to the speed and jerky turns. I lift weights daily and do advanced hot yoga which really helped. You will get tired and need to take breaks too, they have a nice patio area for that. All in all, I'll be back and up for trying full wakeboarding next time. It's a cheap, fun (if you can stay up/hang on), and unique experience!

This was a dandy park we found in the Delhi area. There is a lot of area here with lots of various…read morethings to do. I saw a few playground areas, a volleyball court, and several eating areas complete with grills. We decided to take the walking path which had some various parkour exercising stations (20 in total) along it to help stimulate your walk. I think we figured it was about 1.5 miles or so atound it because we took 2 laps to reach our 3 mile goal. The huge hills definitely add some challenge to that as well. That was what I found on this trip and when I come back and find more I will update this review. Definitely worth checking out.

(Tip: the annual pass is only $10) A friend and I went here in search of an easy, short hike and saw that there was a 1 mile fitness trail. We were kind of horribly incorrect about this being an easy breezy walk in the park though. If you go through and do (or in my case poorly attempt) all of the activities along the trail, it's exhausting! We're already planning a return trip until we conquer it, because it kind of conquered us this time. It started off deceptively easy, drawing us in with jumping jacks and leg stretches before launching into a SUPER inclined sit up area followed by a series of upper body workouts involving pull ups and twirling from metal rings. The series of stairs to run up is no joke either, since the spacing essentially means you are jumping while running. By the time we finished, we had both gotten a heck of a workout! We saw a ton of people walking dogs on the trail and the playground area was packed. There is also a frisbee golf course there, which a handful of people were out enjoying. But man, that fitness course!

Right off the road is a nice sized pond, most likely not used for fishing but more for scenery. The park is fenced in by the cutest white picket fence. Nearby the pond is a small lot of tall trees with a paved walking path that is kept up quite well. There's a few tables within the trees for a perfect picnic in the shade. Further into the park are several soccer and baseball fields. This area was jammed packed! There were several games going on and tons of kids having fun! The playground looked pretty cool, if only I was 15 years younger! Ample parking back towards the sports fields. We pulled off to the side of the road up by the pond and we weren't in anyone's way. Everything is paved and nice. There's also a community building that we did not check out but it looks big. I believe this is where township meetings are held. If even possible, this would be a cute area to rent out for a baby shower or children's party. No complaints for our first time visiting!

He read something about having birds of prey at this park .. we'd never been there and didn't realize it was going to take an hour to get there. When we arrived there were naturalists who had birds they had rehabilitated after illness or injury. All of them were not going to be able to be set free which is always sad but we got to observe them from a short distance and they answered questions about the bird which was interesting. YOu never know till you try .. if I had know that was all it was I'm not sure we would have drove that distance. we looked at the birds for about 30 minutes and drove back. there was no fee for the park or the birds of prey

On Sundays in the summer a musician plays the carillon bells in the tower for about an hour in the afternoon. Bring some blankets, lay in the sun, and watch the clouds while you listen to the carillon. Behind the playground is a ravine and a hiking trail. Take the stairs down to the old boat house. This seems to be a popular spot to take engagement pictures and senior pictures. From there follow the trail into the woods and along the creek. It's a great place to take your kids to learn about trees, bugs, and other outdoorsy things. The trail does not go very far before the creek makes a sharp left turn and it becomes difficult to go further. We wandered around for a while trying to find the continuation of the trail, but it seems that it ends at the bend in the creek. From there you backtrack to the park. This park is within walking distance of our house, so on our way home we pass through the Mariemont square and always get some ice cream from Graeters. A great way to end any afternoon. It can be hard to find this park, but Mariemont has put a sign pointing the way in the median on Wooster Pike.
