In the summer you can play int he small splash area, and there are shaded areas to sit. We used to live near here and we played here all the time, and my kids still enjoyed it when we came here to visit. There's a walking trail, and the bathrooms are convenient and close-by.

Love taking the babies to the park here because we know it's going to be clean and safe. There are…read moreswings a toddler playground and a larger play set for older children and quite a bit of green area for the kids to run around. Definitely a safe choice for any parent looking for a park. That is a little less busy.

Overall the park is very clean and I have never had any major issues. My last visit however the bathrooms were locked up, so we had to leave to go somewhere else.

Very OFF season, so there wasn't too much going on here, but I found my way to the lodge/playground area and took a nice, long-ish walk around the lake (approx. 1.7 miles!!) Looks like there's boats to rent and a nice patio to enjoy the view in warmer months, but I'm sure crowds are a BIT larger, as I pretty much had the place to myself in the hazy, drizzzly days of late winter. Seems to be a new-ish location, with main focus on sports fields. I'm just a tiny bit SPOILED by all of Ohioooooo's more lush, natural, "remote" state and metro parks, but this is not a bad choice, if you're in the area. And what better time to "symbolically" support the VOA, as it appears in political PERIL as of late...

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. The playground area is great - swings, slides, climbing structures, seesaw, and more. A paved walking trail winds through the park. A clean restroom is available, and there are two paved parking lots available on either side.

Well paved paths that seemed to be set up so folks with wheel chair bound or walking assists but just be forewarned there is a rather steepish hill toward the back. Nice air conditioned bathroom just outside kid playground. Lots of parking. Very clean and well maintained. Be an absolute perfect place for a walk during the Fall when the leaves are changing colors.

My son and I stopped here two weeks ago when in the area. The playground is really big and has a…read morelot of variety for kids of all ages. It's also fenced in, which I know people with young and multiple kids would appreciate. There is a big lake right by it too so the playground being fenced in is a great safety measure. On really hot days the playground does get really hot though. The lake is a really nice and has a path around it. It's not huge, but still a nice place for some leisure activity. You can fish at the pond though. Lots of parking too. We will definitely be back to visit this park again.

Great park! And this is why I gave this park 5 stars…read more.. 1.) great place to walk my dog (they even have dog "bags" for the little messes 2.) they have a lake with boat access and fishing (caught my first fish here when I was a kid. I'm 30 now that's how long I've been coming here) 3.) several playgrounds for the kids all within the last few years new 4.) volleyball, tennis courts, and basketball 5.) a great golf course. It's only a par 3 but it is beautiful and very well maintained 6.) plenty of shelters for picnics and for a small fee you can reserve them. I'm sure I forgot several points as to why this park is so great and such a treasure to this community.

The poor experience began at the admission gate with a most rude man who refused to answer questions about the status of the games. After waiting an hour from lightning delays I decided to return to my car to wait the delay out. When I asked for the re-entry band they accused me of sneaking in. They yelled and carried on as they insisted I wasn't being forthright. I am still upset!​​

I was quite surprised when I drove by here the other day that all of the soccer fields were…read morecompletely bulldozed through. There is very little green in the park anymore, which is unfortunate because it was really pretty. I am assuming that they are redoing the grass for the fields and the construction stopped during the outbreak. There are 4 tennis courts here and it is a pretty nice place to walk around. There are also softball/baseball fields and some basketball hoops, so there is a wide variety of sports that you can play while you are here. There is a well-paved sidewalk around the perimeter of the fields that is nice to jog through. It isn't my favorite park mostly because it is geared towards children to be able to play their respective sports, but if that is for you then this is a good park to get some practice in!

There is a huge, amazing playground, plenty of paved trails to walk, clean restroom facilities, and a beautiful lake to explore filled with birds and other aquatic life. However, Voice of Freedom Park, for the most part, doesn't feel very park-like. There is a ton of empty wasted space. Beyond what I mentioned above, the park is a bunch of overgrown farm fields with nothing. It's the perfect example of a park placed smack in the middle of suburban sprawl. It's artificial...so obviously man-made and sterile. It also doesn't help that the park is surrounded by shopping centers and office parks on all sides. This place desperately needs trees! Another downside is the fee for annual parking. It's $5 for an annual pass that gets you into all of the Butler County MetroParks. This is less than the pass for the Hamilton County Parks system, but we have tried several other MetroParks since buying our vehicle permit only to find most of them to be awful! They lack features and maintenance. Bummer! Overall, if you are in West Chester, this is an okay place to take lunch, take a stroll, or let the kids play. Otherwise, it isn't a destination.

This is a nice park to walk around if it's not too hot. It's a $5 yearly admission pass to walk the…read morepark system part. But, you can also just walk the rest of it without paying. Since it's a new park, the trees are not full grown. But a lot of birders come here to see ducks and other species native to prairies. There is a lake and snack machines and the paved trail meanders along the lake edge. They held some water-skiing competition finals here not too long ago. So, it's not a tiny lake. You can also fish and paddle boat. It's an interesting location; Voice of America park, because it's part of the whole VOA ("the official external radio and television broadcasting service of the United States federal government"-courtesy of Wikipedia) propaganda era left over from WWII . This locale was decommissioned during the Reagan era. However, VOA still operates. So, if you do a little (careful of your footing because of big divots in the earth) walking outside the park, proper, you can find the cement footings of the huge radio antennas that used to dominate the area (you can even see them on google maps if you look closely). Apparently, people who used to live here when it was active could receive the signal through their appliances even when their radios were not on (testimonial from my neighbor). You can still see the strange electrical grid for the antennas as you drive through the Tylersville entrance on your way to Rumpke's single-stream recycling drop off center.
