I wish they made it larger to accommodate seating inside for parents. If you have little ones, you either stand the whole time or plan to join in. There us a cost to enter, but it is low compared to other entertainment. Just be sure to have cash with you. The playground is situated just a few yards from the splash park and is very nice. There are, again, features for all ages and it looks newer.

They are, of course, poisonous and deadly. Beware! If you walk through the property, stay off the grassy area where there are clearly marked warning signs. They have a large room where you can host birthday parties which I think would be pretty cool. You get to have fun leaning about nature. The staff are friendly and full of knowledge. They answered all of my question and even let us see a snake up close and personal. I would love to come back to take the tour. It was storming outside so they cancelled...

This review is specifically for the Dragon's Den playground and nearby bathroom facilities…read more Dragon's Den is one if the largest playground structures we've visited. My little one is 5 and it is rated for ages 5-12. This structure has several slides, swings, rock walls, monkey bars, and other "challenges". My son had a great time, but was definitely timid at times. This is a great structure for him to grow and learn. There is also a playground specifically for those in wheelchairs, etc. I love to see the inclusive design to allow all children to enjoy the playground. Nearby, is a pavilion with indoor bathroom facilities. They are very clean and well-kept.

Great park - for young kids to older ones. Unlike parks that have things geared strictly for young…read morekids, this park has a really nice play structure that older kids (9+) to play on. Large slides, few more complicated structures to maneuver on, and even some things for babies and handicapped children. Nice job to the city on this one

This is such a great little, picturesque park located to the right of the Clarkston Village…read moreoffices. It's a smaller space that's very well-designed with undulating grounds, sufficient open spaces, 2 little bridges that go over a small river (creek?) with ducks, a gazebo, and lots of trees. There are no grills or anything, but lots of perfectly placed sitting benches (even a few swinging ones) and a decent amount of picnic benches. It's a great place to walk the pups, the love interest in your life, or have a blanket or bench picnic with the family. I believe the gazebo side has hosted outdoor weddings and I have seen pro photographers snapping pics of their subjects (just to give you an idea of the looks of it). The kids playground has enough activity sets that are nicely spread out for tiny kids and big kids. My 3 y/o son loves coming here. I think it's his favorite spot thus far. He loves seeing the ducks who are super tame and will come right up to you on the banks expecting to be fed. Unfortunately, feeding birds like this makes them dependent on handouts and I didn't see any signs forbidding it so far. Maybe the ducks are on the Village dole on the off-season, who knows? Bread is really not the best to feed them with (little nutritional value), so consider taking things like cracked, corn, fresh peas, or grape HALVES (per the internet...so you may want to double check that info). If you decide to visit the park, also take the opportunity to walk the Village's small main street or walk off a date meal at one of the local hot spots (Union Woodshop and Clarkston Union). The walkable residential street of Holcomb (off Washington) has some nice old houses to look at or drive by. When you turn onto Depot Rd (keep your eyes peeled, you just might miss it), the parking lot is on the left across from the offices. They have doggie poo bag stations and (the one minus) porta-potties for bathrooms. Top Yelp-rated Cook's Dairy (ice cream) in Ortonville can be integrated into a trip to Clarkston Village. It's only 10 minutes away going up M-15.

I'm extremely impressed with this park. I would not have known about it other than from a friend at…read morework who lives in the area. As soon as you drive in, this magnificent (perspective of a kid) playground appears to the left. It's even called the Kids Kingdom. My kids had a blast. Even my 20 month old had a wonderful time. We brought some PIZZA, ate on one of the nice picnic tables within Kids Kingdom. However, I must admit I had a specific intent for checking out this park; disc golf!! There is an 18 hole disc golf course. There are plenty of trees, dog legs (left and right turns... not actual legs of dogs), and water hazards to make it interesting. There is a nice variety of long and short throws. The tee pads were extremely easy to find; however, the baskets from the tee pads weren't as easy to find. If I had the map, that I attached to this review, from the beginning it would have been a different story. I skipped one basket because I assumed the drive was a little longer. I ended up throwing it 3/4 of the way to the next basket. No worries... I'll know better next time. I didn't know what PAR was for the baskets, so I assumed everything was PRO PAR and ended with 1 over for the 18 holes. I know there is a lot of room for improvement. I will definitely take my family to this park again!! My wife also wanted me to mention on this review that the bathrooms were nice and right next to the playground. My 6 year old didn't realize the bathrooms were so close and found a tree out in the distance. You'd think he was born in a barn or something....

Wow. Normally we…read moredrive out to Kensingston , but we decided to change it up and use our annual Metro Parks pass and explore another park The next closest park was Indian Springs. This location is about 1/3 the size of Kensingston, but I think the facilities are newer. Similar to Kensingston, there is a golf course, a nature center, water park, nike paths and plenty of picnic options. We sent our time at the nature center and walking the nature trails, looking at the fauna and flora. The nature center has a very unique feature. there is a glass under water observation room. You can go into this glass room about 8 feet under the surface of the water, and observe fish and aquatic life from below. Unfortunately, the pond above was a little murky and we couldn't see much activity. Also in the nature center they have a number of displays and live animals, ok reptiles. Outside there are a number of gravel paths that weave across a couple of rolling hills or natural wild flowers and grasses. They also have an extensive and well label wild flower and plant garden. We were surprised by the number of act ivies being offered and there wasn't many people. Its worth checking this Metro Park. We drove by the water park, and children's active area, and the kids seem to be having fun.
