Variety of areas for differing age groups and something for everyone. The parking is easy and directly next to all the action. My two nit-picking suggestions? It would be great to have more bench seating directly surrounding the playground (especially for those who bring dogs but also want to keep an eye on kiddos) and a fenced playground would be amazing for the runners. Overall, this is the best playground in OR.

Maps available as well as a pump and tools to get bikes ready to rock the trails. We have seen hardcore hikers, people casually walking dogs, mountain bikers, and people fishing. Trail options for any interests, time parameters,and abilities. There is a paved trail as well as many rocky dirt trails that branch off from the main paved. This morning it was a bit muddy off the beaten path, so please expect to get pleasantly dirty. Lake views, a creek, and the sounds of trees in the breeze. Heck yes!

What a lovely park! We've been making our rounds to all of the parks in the area and this one was…read moreperfect to explore in the morning before it gets lava hot. Many mature trees and the surrounding pond cool down the playground area. There is ample parking and a large restroom facility which are both convenient. Pavilion area that you can rent and a few docks jutting out into the water are nice touches, as is the extensive walking trail that goes around the park and surrounding neighborhoods. As for the play area, it is well-maintained and there is a large sandbox that is clearly very popular (hence, why I didn't take a photo with so many littles enjoying it). The playset has lots of stationary toys on it as well as an abundance of slides. The swing area is separated from the playground and has some unique swing options. Note that the sandbox and playground is directly next to the pond, so if you get high anxiety with young kiddos around bodies of water or have runners, you may want to forgo this park (or at least ensure you have an extra set of eyes/hands with you).

Our kids have lots of luck catching sunfish, or during the Bob Watt Fishing rodeo once a year here CATFISH!

Holy mole! This is a fabulous state park. Totally free parking, incredible restroom facilities - I…read moreknow that might sound dramatic but they had air conditioning in them! This is something Florida needs to jump on board with. And there was so many great spots for ground camping as well as areas for campers/RVs. We spent a couple hours at the park doing the hike to the waterfall. It was pretty leisurely and the grade is mild so it made for a comfortable trek. If you are planning to hike here, drive as faaaaaar as you can before parking. If you choose to park in the first lots you'll be walking about a mile just to get to the trail head. The trails were beautiful and the waterfall is so fun! You really can climb and explore it, I would suggest bringing plenty of water to drink and shoes that you can walk through the water in.

The trails and stream are on flat terrain easy to navigate with littles, strollers, wagons, wheelchairs, etc. we searched for the playground but couldn't find it. Doh! If you are looking for the same, park at the rear of the library lot or in the OR Rec Center lot, as the playground is right behind. The Friendship Bell commemorates the workers of the Manhattan Project and it's a good thing to check off your list once. I don't know that we need to go back until/unless our kids learn about it in school. The park has a great amphitheater which frequently hosts live music, concerts, and festivals. The playground next to it is great for kids 2-5. Low to the ground, slides aren't as steep, and some developmental equipment for those of the younger age. Baby swings available and a nearby pavilion. Tons of shaded benches to keep an eye on your kiddos. The playground is a stone's throw from the library and the pretty courtyard with a fountain.

I would hope they plant even more to give better coverage to the trail that goes around the park. I walked here every morning on my recent visit. Most mornings there were a few joggers and people walking their dogs. The trail is gravel for the most part. A few short sections are sidewalk. It would be nice to have some trail markers that show distance on the trail. There is some signage about the park near the bell. Farther down the trail behind the senior center is a large playground and a place that appears to host live music. Overall this park is pretty amazing. I plan on coming back on my next visit
