When I've walked along the paths, I've seen people fishing in the pond during the warmer months. The playground looks like a nice one. They have a basketball court next to it. I've heard there are tennis courts, but I think they must be on the East side of the park. I'll need to explore that side a bit more. There's a cute little bridge that allows you to easily cross over Salt Creek. I didn't see any photos of the canoe launch, so I'll share a couple here. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain the day before, so the ramp to the boat launch was pretty flooded. There are also doggy bag stations on the path near the parking lot.

Great park in the middle of Elmhurst. They have hiking/biking trails, 2 children's playgrounds,…read morenice pond full of ducks and geese. Benches to sit on scattered around the park. Nice and peaceful to just walk around and enjoy the pretty scenery . The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there is a lack of adequate bathrooms. I walked the whole park both side and only saw 1 porta potty on the commonwealth side where the p,at ground is. They could use a few more. Also they could put out a few more picnic table near the pond, and both playgrounds.

Review is for the disc golf course here, nothing else. This is a standard, no frills, 9-hole…read morecourse. Each hole is a par-3 (or should be) and there are very few obstacles to hamper a throw. Experienced players will enjoy several par-2's. The course starts at the end of the parking lot to the south side of the park. Tee mats and hole #'s are well marked an easy to find. This is a perfect course for new players looking to learn the game, but somewhat boring if you're looking for a challenge. Oh...and a lot of people tend to play here. Be prepared to wait. Cheers.

This is a vast park district with plenty to offer…read more There are two playgrounds that are separated by a parking lot. One playground is situated behind a school and it is more ideal for older kids. The other playground is closer to the obstacle course and pickleball courts. This playground is ideal for children ages 1-8. Both playgrounds have plenty of slides, swings, and climbing structures for the kids to expense their energy. The obstacle course is a fun activity for adults. My brother and I challenged each other to see who could complete the course under a minute. It served as a good testament for some friendly sibling rivalry. The only downside is the tennis courts were converted to pickleball courts. So although it can still serve our purpose for tennis lessons, it isn't the most ideal with the small courts and lower nets.

The park…read moreoffers baseball, softball, and soccer fields; basketball and sand volleyball courts; playgrounds; picnic areas; and walking paths. There is a very large pond for fishing or simply admiring (no swimming). When winter conditions are right, the pond is available for ice skating. There is a steep hill in the park ideal for sledding too. In addition there is an historic log cabin on the Main Street side of the park available to rent. It has a small kitchen, a fireplace, and AC. It can accommodate 75 for a meeting or 50 for dining. I come to Four Seasons Park to walk , look for wildlife, listen to songbirds in spring, and watch the seasons change. The park is safe, spacious and well kept. There are large expanses of grass and on the south side of the park near the pond is a particularly pretty area with several large weeping willow trees. I especially enjoy the park in spring and fall because it is peaceful. You'll likely see many squirrels, Canada geese, ducks, and maybe a bunny. Watch your step in some areas! When I say many geese, I mean MANY geese. Meander around the sledding hill. There's a nice view from the top and, if you look carefully at the surrounding thickets, you'll find secret passageways. Hobbits?

The swing set area even has a couple larger chair-style swings for kids that may need a more structured chair for various reasons. There is a paved path winding through the park (perhaps 1/4 of a mile) along with a small pond and a little bridge. There are plenty of trees for shade, a few picnic tables and good amount of grassy open space for playing frisbee, tag, etc. The parking lot is paved with special drainage pavers to prevent/reduce flooding as well so the parking lot has stayed pretty nice without water damage.

When I walked around today I saw a duck and what I think was a crane. And apparently I didn't even see half of the park as I didn't walk as far as the playground or paths shown in other's photos. Lots of benches scattered throughout for folks who'd like to stop and maybe just enjoy for a while.

A mom-of-two's (a toddler and preschooler) straight-forward review -…read more Pros: 1) The playground is vast with various activities that applies to younger and older children - climbing ropes, bridge, rock climbing wall, various slides, zip line, monkey bars, etc. My younger daughter is 2.5 years old and love walking across the bridge. There are ropes to hold to but the little daredevil in her would just run across so it is important to be watchful of the child and be sure they won't trip and fall through the ropes. 2) The whole playground has a rubbery ground so it is very comfortable and safe. 3) There is a splash pad in between the toddler and older children sections. I am uncertain when it actually turns on. We have been twice, once at 9 AM and a second time at 3:30 PM. It was on in the afternoon and several kids were running in and out of the splash pad. It's a great option to have when it's hot and sunny out. 4) There are six tennis courts nearby and this works out perfectly for our preschooler to squeeze in a tennis session with her daddy before or after the playgrounds. Cons: 1) Not a con at all - But the playground is so vast that I can barely capture the whole frame in one picture!

The Seven Bridges park has a large playground and swings...suitable for many ages. There is a short walking path, basketball court, tennis court, and a covered area with picnic tables.

Overall- great place to pack a lunch and play outside on a beautiful day!!
