We recently visited for the first time over the Memorial Day weekend and were pleasantly surprised…read more We only hiked the Cascade Trail so that is what my review will be on. The park website and things online are very confusing. One site says, permit not required and another say one isn't. The sign at the park also says permit required, but there is no where to purchase one in person or online. We took the chance and parked without one. I did see a worker driving around and he didn't seem to be checking cars. The map seems okay for general navigating and there is signage around. The trails are marked okay I think. There could be some improvement, but the Cascade Trail is a big loop so it isn't a huge deal. The trail was well maintained. A little overgrown in places, but nothing terrible. It's also really flat except for the end of the trail where you need to walk up a big hill to get back to where we parked. My kids did fine with the trial the whole time though. The bridge is super neat and my kids had fun crossing it. The falls were pretty and a nice treat, but you really have to wander around to find a good view of it. Luckily none of us minded that. The creek is really nice to play and walk in. That was by far my kids favorite part. We also found lots of fossils to explore and look at! It was a little muddy after all the rain we had received, but nothing terrible.

My favorite 'hiking' spot in Butler County…read more My favorite part about this preserve are the trails. There are multiple trails that connect to each other, so if you get bored with hiking your usual trail, it's easy to mix it up a little bit. They are all well kept and maintained. Sometimes there is some litter, but we pick it up. There are two old building foundations on one of the trails and a piece of farm equipment grown into a tree, pretty neat! The park is big, lots of space.

Great park with a paved path. Also has a great playground that my kids love. If you have climbers…read morethis is the park for you! The elevator is one of my kids favorites as well. There is a Little Free Library. Open grass field. Picnic Shelter and tables. Bathrooms. Ample parking.

This park is great for kids who LOVE TO CLIMB! It is definitely geared toward older kids (6-12 year…read moreold) and not toddlers. There are many ropes and ladders to climb. 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!

This park is great for kids of all ages! There are two separate parks- one geared toward younger…read morekids and the other geared toward older kids! The 3 year old I took had a blast at both! In the "little kid" playground area there are smaller stairs to climb and things to balance on. There are tunnels, a little picnic table at the bottom, and some steering wheels to spin. In the "big kid" playground the climbing is taller and definitely more advanced. The 3 year old had trouble reaching some things, but nonetheless tried! There are two awesome and obscure shaped monkey bars, many spinning seats, and large slides! They also have a great area with various giant musical instruments to play. On the far side of the playground there is a splash pad. It was still on and running today! This park is wide open and had so much space for the kids to run and play. There are many picnic tables with shade and a large shelter too! We LOVED this park!!

What is better than family friendly fun? FREE family friendly fun!…read more Pack a cooler, bring the kids, and a swimsuit. Push the yellow button and watch the magic happen. I'm an adult and I wanted to play! Kids of all ages, outside, playing, laughing! There is a nice covered picnic area with water fountains (including a tall one to fill up a bottle), and a paved, covered path to the restrooms. There is a Men's, women's, and family restroom. There is a lot of shaded areas for parents to sit and relax while the littles wear themselves out.

Fine park when you just need a place to stretch your legs and for the kids to get some energy out…read more It definitely seems a bit older and more rundown. One of the slides is so worn out that you can see the bumps from the joints holding it up. Also, no swings. Bummer. But otherwise just fine.

What a cool place for all of us 70-80s babies!!!…read more Once upon a time there stood a land of adventure here. From the young Fantasy Farm to its big brother Americana! I remember coming to these amusement parks and being allowed to spend the whole day with friends. This was pre being able to afford kings island. It was like a permanent carnival. I was so sad that it shut down but was so surprised when I saw that they repurposed the land into this beautiful park. Walk around and remember where things used to be. You can check out the lake, see some of the old standing structures of times past, walk the path, or play in the playground. We enjoyed pulling up old photos and trying to lay out the amusement park in all the green space.

I really love going to Twin Creek MetroPark. It's close to my home, which makes it super easy when…read moreI just need to get outside for a bit and a quick hike. Just be aware: The trails are moderate and there are some pretty steep spots. It is good for families with older kids, and pets - yay!! but not stroller friendly. I definitely recommend wearing good hiking shoes or boots to have a better grip on the ground. . The park itself is just beautiful. Lots of woodlands that let you recharge your soul. Benches along the trail invite for a break or to soak in the beautiful scenery.

Ok had been back to these trails in years and decided to do 2 trails the red and the blue both were…read morearound a mile each. It had been dry so didn't have to worry about mud and it had been cool lately so was hoping the bugs weren't a problem. So doused myself in bug repellent and headed out on my own to get some steps in. love walking in nature. I took pics of the trail map and color of the trail i was doing so I didn't get lost ... at least that was my goal. I did the red and then the blue. both trails were harder than I was looking for. The hills were steep and slippery .. plus rock and roots to stumble on. a few areas were so steep I had to find branches to make myself a walking stick. but the blue trail was a hot mess. so over grown and trees down. At one point it just ended .. the trail led to a lot of brush I ended up walking in the woods in areas that didn't look like a trail. alot was so over grown and they obviously aren't clearing this area and no one is going on the blue trail. Then I get to the parking lot and see the same colors I'd been on in the area near the overlook ... which I'd never been to. So is that different trails with the same colors .... I'm not sure. I followed the signs for blue and red and neither took me to this. I def wont return alone. there were several times I slipped and stumbled and it was scary especially alone. I made it out without falling and lived to hike again somewhere else another day. There was a guy in his truck when I started and the same guy was sitting there when I went to my car .. found that creepy and weird. It was 80 plus degrees why just sit there alone ... odd. park staff should clear the blue trail ... it's a hazard

Incredibly nice park tucked in a little off the beaten path. The kids playground look amazing! Sent…read morepics to our niece to let her know this was here. 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.
