Neat little park next to here, has baseball diamonds, horseshoe pits, pavilions, public restroom. The lake trail is non existant as you can see. Still nice quiet little nook, in the upper part of Jennings State Forest.

Very nice place for a family gathering or even just to hang out with friends. There is a public restroom (NOT port-a-potties) that were surprisingly clean. Just make sure to bring your own toilet paper(just in case but they were available) and definitely soap and paper towels (not provided).

First time there. Nice secluded spot for a gathering with family and friends. Play area for kids, open field for games and covered grill area with tables. I didnt go into the restroom, but it looked clean and just a few steps from gathering area. Ample parking. A good ride from the city (off the new toll road), but gas station less than 5 miles if you need to make run for ice and other essentials.

A nice park that wasnt crowded. I went at 5pm on Thursday and was the only one. Very quiet. Nice place to walk, relax, and take photos or read. Lots of trees, a few small playgrounds, a field, and sports areas

This park is empty most of the time, every time that I go to this park is a relaxing moment, is so beautiful and peaceful. Great to take pictures!

The lake has receded terribly. The park no longer allows driving through area where the pavilion and restroom buildings are. The volleyball net is still up and there is a place to throw horseshoes. The restrooms are very well maintained.

This area was good for grilling, and had plenty of room for family fun and games, but this area didnt provide handicap accessibility for parking, for bathrooms, and there was no easy access to get to the picnic tables for someone whos in a wheelchair, or a walker.

Older but decent. Great place for picnics or partys especially a kids party! Because there is plenty of space to run and play and/ or have a bounce house. Will use this park again for future activities.

The playground equipment is old, weak, and filthy. The trail is rickety and super sketchy with broken caution tape. It was okayy for the time I was stuck there with my family, but I definitely wont make the decision to go there on my own.The playground equipment is old, weak, and filthy.

Went for birthday party. Has grills but not in good repair. The pavilion was nice for what we needed. Playground and baseball field. Good fishing too.

Very nice, quaint park. Two small and decently new play grounds. There are volleyball nets and open fields to play football or frisbee. There are also lots of baseball fields around the park (not sure if they are used a lot but Sunday no one was on them).

It was a nice place because I have a gathering I was a little disappointed that you couldnt even see the lake due to so much overgrowth

Theres alot of weeds there and I think someone should go and actually take care of the park to at least give you something to look at.

Clean. but, a little creepy due to it is on a military base the has been shut down. (old Cecile Field military Base) has a Erie quietness to it. like you are being watched by something you cant see.. but, I would still go there maybe for a family picnic.
