I absolutly love it at island grove as does my 8yr old daughter. I wish the people who vandalize the kids park stuff would stop as its becoming unsafe but thats not parks fault. Hopefully next season they fix those issues and people dont damage again. If everyone who went there showed the place equal respect and didnt litter it would honestly be a amazing place due to that its just great as why gave 4 stars. Also its a peaceful place when u want to get away from everything.

Cute little park. Impressively clean. Plenty of friendly people. I must have come during dog walking time, because there were dozens of them. Most were leashed, but not all. This made my little girl anxious at times and took away from our leisurely winter stroll. Still, we intend to return soon to see what changes spring has brought.

Awesome place to swim in a man maid pond. Lay out in the sun on the grass. Food available at the food stand with pink benches to sit and eat. Bridge to walk and trails. Love this place!

Wide open most people wear masks but area is large enough to properly distance as needed. Lovely views of water foot bridge and historical facts. A must visit if u are close worth the drive even.

We visited a lot this summer and even with needing to make a reservation, it was still very easy to go over. Clean, beautiful and cooler than across the bridge.

Beautiful relaxing place in the middle of town. The lifeguards on duty do a good job on keeping a close watch. Swimming lessons for kids in small groups, one on one attention given to each kid. Snack shack and restroom available when they are open. Great place in all.

A local, quiet, inviting park. A place that has a bit of history. A place to have family gatherings. A place to swim or just hang out on one of their many benches. Take a walk through the paths or cross over the bridge. A nice park where you can exhale.

My wife & I take my dog there every Friday. We enjoy the park, my dog loves the place, the lake & inside the park swimming pool seasonally, dogs are excluded during the summer season for the for kids to enjoy the pool. Theres something for everybody to like, ice skating, ice fishing & hockey whenever its cold enough for the lake to ice over! And in the summer theres the lake & the pool, hiking, & of course my dog. In fact alld dogs appear to love the the Grove! Easily 4 - 5 stars....etc.

People must be keeping the fish not any bites for a very long time. Looks so much better now its been cleaned up and growth trimmed. It is a small park no room for any private time to relax but if you want people hovering around you its a Great place to go.

Nice park! Charging 8 dollars to use a pond that they call a pool is ridiculous. It not a pool it is in a town forest. You cant send cops in there after 5 to kick people out because the pool is closed.

Great place to come fish or during the summers come have a swim in the chlorinated pond on the edge of the lake. No matter the season The Grove is a great place for a stroll. There are always plenty of ducks and geese. Be sure to check out the Abington Veterans Mermorial while youre there.
