They have very nice, newly built play equipment for kids, but it is separated between young children (toddlers) and older kids (up to 12). There is a man-made lake with a sandy beach. It's nice to be able to stop here in the summer for a quick dip without fighting huge crowds. There are some baseball diamonds as well as picnic shelters. My favorite part though is the trail system. They have a well maintained system through the woods and around the lake, and it's never really busy so if you like to take peaceful, quiet hikes this is your place!

A real treasure hides down the hill behind the playground: access to the Ledges and the Ledges Trail. It's amazing to see the giant sandstone outcroppings and to wind in and around. Part of the trail follows right along the river on one side and the ledges on the other, giving a good view of the variety of animals, including birds, turtles, and more. Gorgeous and a great little hike!

There is also an area set aside with about a dozen parallel bocce ball pits. Lots of open space, walking path, some permanent structures for bathrooms and concessions. Tons of well-paved parking. No lighting. [Round number review 11111 overall, 884 of 2019.]

The Festival is quite wonderful. Kid's parade Friday…read moreevening. Make time for the parade on Saturday. Watch the River Raft Race. Bring the kids downtown right next to the Fire station for rides and food. Visit Curwood Castle. Go fishing at one of the many parks from Corunna's McCurdy Park all the way to Harmon Partridge Park. There's an interesting set of vendors behind Fortune House restaurant on Main street. I hope they bring back the dog competition "dock diving." That's really fun to watch.

Ugh, the yearly Curwood Festival! It's four days (and nights) of lots of people, lots of noise,…read morelot's of inconvenience and barely any actual "Curwood". If you think this festival is about honoring the writer and conservationist, James Oliver Curwood, you will be sadly mistaken. True, you can tour the famous Curwood Castle, on the banks of the Shiawassee, maybe see an antique or two, but for the most part this festival is a small town carnival with all the warts that go along with it. Parking everywhere you look, out of towners, carnies, expensive greasy food, pounding rock music. Want to get downtown to do important business? Good luck with that! Live within a ten mile radius of town and hoping to get a good nights sleep? Good luck with that too! With nightly rock concerts that go on until 1 am you'll be feeling the bass in your bedsprings! Apparently the city noise ordinance doesn't apply during Curwood. If I could I would leave town during Curwood, as it is I'll be avoiding downtown like the plague and count the days until the County Fair where you can at least breath fresh country air without choking on the smell of sweat, smoke and god only knows what else.

The trail section we were on was paved, though there were some access issues due to construction. We were all good once we figured out how to get down to the trail. It's nice to be able to look out at the river and see what kind of critters were out and about, as well.

It's been just a minute since I played on the playground here, but I closed my eyes today to be…read moretransported to this amazing playset. Did I play here as a grown adult? Yes. Yes I did. And I'm not ashamed of it. You see this is one of the nicest (but not newest--hence the charm) playgrounds I've been on. It's not that new plastic-y stuff. No, this is a good old fashioned wooden set, but massive, sprawling, and the kind of place a kid dreams is a fort on the old frontier, a pirate ship, or a rocket. The rest of the park is nice, too. In fact, I haven't wandered the trail part of it much. But I did dig the ponds, even though by late summer I noticed they were pretty marshy. Since Mason is a pretty small town, you don't need to know much to find it. Just head west on the main road out of town and you'll see it there on the right. Great to come and walk, play with the kiddos, or have a little picnic. I closed my eyes and did that today, and for a second I was there, even if just in my mind.

One of the most beautiful small community parks I have ever been too. Really!…read more Plenty of parking. Beautiful trees just steps away from the cars. Within a few steps you are immersed in Autumn, sorta warm, hint of cold in the air, leaves blowing out of the trees like snow and a fantastic amount of leaves carpeting the ground. All colors - yellow, green, brown, crimson, so beautiful. I was looking for poison ivy - it can be on the trail in bright red, there is a picture at the entrance- but didn't find it. The wind was whooshing around, and you can see the Grand River as you walk into to park. The trail down to the river is step, well marked and slippery with all the leaves. Wear hiking shoes w tread. The trail has fantastic rock formations, erosion of the soft stone plays a critical part in the unique formation, ridges, ledges, springs and seeps, and crevices. The rocks can be slippery and there are roots interspersed in the leaves. It was slow going ... but no falls or slips for me or hubby. If you have kids- help & watch them. We met rock climbers - fun to watch. What skill! Enjoy the pics- but go for yourself! Loved the shirt hike! (In -out loop trail) Open: Dawn to Dusk
