I came here because someone posted a picture of some birds that I wanted to photograph. Didnt see the birds I came for but there were some geese and turtles.. happened to see some snakes but that was just lucky. It's free to come here but if you want to fish i think you need a license or permit. There's a building right there with someone in a uniform. I think he might have been checking for fishing permits. We were the only one there without a fishing pole.

The park entrance is right next to US-35, and appears to be a favorite spot for fishing and putting a boat on the river. After crashing the small footbridge, you can either turn right and follow the trail closer to the road or continue straight to the river bank. Here the trail also turns right and runs along the river bank. Either way you go, it's a big loop. If you want though, you can continue along the river back past the loop to intersect with the Creekside Rails to Trails. Overall this pathway runs through the flood plain and near a swampy area. Not much to look at during the fall but a nice short hike for something different. Only problem from my perspective is the road noise. Go check it out for yourself.

From 3 shelters you can rent, to a playground, an awesome lake with a pier and pavilion at the end of it (you can rent the pavilion I believe) to soccer, baseball, softball, sand volleyball and a BMX bike track they really fit a lot into a tight urban park. And parking for the most part isn't an issue. This is the park where Kettering has their 4th or July fireworks and it's packed (like 15,000) with people. They have lots of other fun festivals kids fishing derbies and it's home to Metro futbol club and their home fields and practices. The reason for not a 5 star is there is only one bathroom facility in the whole park. But other than that I love the trail around the park and all the sparks fields are in great shape. They really do a great job maintaining everything. Ooo, check this out if you love Pokémon Go! This place is the spot. I've never seen so many people on their phone playing that game around Dayton like I do here. Enjoy!! Update as of October 19 the park has free wifi, woot woot!!

Grooming -- Influx of unpaid road and pave road out balance them selves. Elevation -- None. Scenery -- very picturesque type atmosphere, lots of nature, around us, such as trees, and vegetation. Family Orientated -- definitely family orientated, easy enough to bring your dog and/or small children. Populated -- usually not very populated due to the proximity of the area off the major highway. Although in the summertime and towards the spring, obviously it will get more and more crowded although it's not unbearable. 10/10

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.

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.

They seem to run on a skeleton crew so getting someone on the phone is difficult but if you leave a message, they'll eventually get back to you (not necessarily the same day). There's a nice fishing lake (Bass Lake) adjacent and a group center with a small library and games. They have some family bunkhouses (think Cozy Cabins - bring your own linen, utensils, dishes) near the lake. Nice dog park and fire ring.

It always amazes me to discover these "mini-wildernesses" in the middle of/nearby a relatively populated area. So peaceful, well-maintained, and definitely a GREAT resource for the region!! Possum Creek is one of the few that I had not yet visited, so I decided to take advantage of a lazy Sunday afternoon to trek down to Moraine and see this gem for myself. Great for fishing, picnics, hiking (check out the beautiful, well-marked ORANGE trail) and it's even available for overnight camping (groups only??) Did not see a playground, though I'm sure there's one somewhere. Be sure to take your kids to the farm to see the animals and the Education Center, which was closed late Sunday afternoon, but I'm sure is a good resource as well... A bit off the beaten trail (perfect for a quick "escape") but definitely worth a visit!!

From 9.2 miles of walking trails to 4.4 miles of horse trail the trails are diverse: scenic calming. Walk through beautiful prairies, forested areas over streams and huge trees galore, even past some old amusement park remains. Never to hilling or challenging the trails are a great way to explore and enjoy. There are 4 small fishing ponds and then Argonne Lake. Fishing is allowed in all 4 and you don't need a license, plus paddle crafts are permitted on Argonne lake; with h bluegill and bass, plus catfish stocked into the ponds on July 1. There is always something to catch. We even saw a fox while walking to the farm, yes they have a farm onsite too, rabbits, chickens, goats, donkeys, a garden and of course an old farm house with an educational building for farming programs and more. They even have a cool natural playground that blends in with the land, kinda like hobbits it's cool. Campsites to reserve with fire wood (provided by the park services) and a cool fire pit with a grill attached. I believe there are 3 or 4 campsites and they are huge, like 3 tens and 12 people huge. Of course they have picnic tables too. The only downer is no electricity and no showers, all they have our porta potties near the campsite. It really is a gorgeous park, there are also about 4 or 5 shelters to rent. You'll enjoy Possum Creek Metropark, it's great indeed.
