What a fun find! I've lived in the Dayton area now for nine years and after hearing from many…read morefriends about Magee finally took some time to visit. We were coming mainly for the direct, easy access to the creek. With little ones this was something I needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find a great playground, picnic shelter, and just the best green space. Shade for days, which is perfect for hot days. The creek access is wonderful. Down a little embankment and you are right there. It's fairly shallow with some deeper parts. It's really easy to walk in. I highly recommend Keens or some type of water sandal with gripes. It can be slippery on the rocks. We found minnows, a water snake, and rocks. Didn't really look for much else as the kids were happy just to play in the water. The playground was great after they were done playing in the creek. Being completely shaded made it perfect for the hot afternoon. This is another near play area with various nature things on the outside of the structure and some cool things up in the tree house. They also had two small swing sets.

First trip out to Magee Park. Took my two grandchildren, ages 8 and 5. Very nice. The parking lot…read moreis adequate size. A covered shelter with tables sits off to one side. Great for picnics, etc. To the opposite end of the park, you'll find a large, open, grassy area, perfect for touch football. The playground itself is rather small, but the equipment appears to be in good condition. The big draw for us? The creek! What a great set up! Easy trek to the creek bed. Water seemed relatively clean (but cold!). The kids and I were able to wade around and hunt for minnows and fossils. Definitely the highlight of the park. Drawbacks: 1). Big groups using the shelter might fill up the parking lot fairly quickly. 2). Limited playground equipment. 3). Porta-potty, rather than actual restrooms - only one available (didn't use). Hands down, the creek is the reason to visit. We will definitely be returning. 4 1/2 actual stars.

We have two new car entrances at Maue and the other one Heincke by the pool. The original entrance is now a pedestrian entrance. There is a roughly 2 mile paved path through the park and along Heincke/Maue. The disc golf course was updated. A new pond was added with catch and release fishing available. A beautiful and big new playground was added inside the park. At the top of the park on Maue are brand new tennis, pickleball, and basketball courses. There are also an adult and kid workout area including a timed 50 yard dash! There are brand new bathrooms inside the park and at the top. There are also two new picnic shelters in the same places. The sledding hill is still accesible. We also have new access to the creek with some new fossils signs coming in the next year. The trails are supposed to be more open and clearer to follow now as well. I cannot wait to make more memories with my family and friends at this beautiful new park!

The water is murky, like you would expect, and the sand is really rough and gritty, again like you would expect for a lake, but it's not slimy. The bathrooms are brand new.

Even on the busiest summer holidays, I have never struggled to find parking. There is a really nice fenced in dog area, as well as as a dog section of the beach.

There are also some awesome balance equipment to try! Something else to note: This park is not well shaded in the evenings. I brought a 3 year old to the park and while she had a lot of fun, it was quite challenging for her to climb on much of the equipment. There are also only two small slides which weren't easily accessible for her. They have a few toddler swings and a handicap accessible swing that she had fun trying!
