Beautiful. My Dad brought me out here to use the walking trails. We used to come here and ice skate and fish as kids.

Love it ... Perfect place to take the kids outdoors for a little while. I like to take the kids fishing but with them being 10 and under they lose interest in fishing quickly so we go right over to the park to play for a while. I also love the paved walkway around the whole pond. Its makes it easier for me to walk a couple laps around with the children(1 being in a stroller). It would also be a great place for someone to run/walk fpr excercise.

Even in the mist and rain the walk around the pond with the ducks and the 1 crane was wonderful. Having play grounds and swings are great and the muilt level baseball nets are a great idea

This park has changed a lot in the time since I cam here as a kid, but its always been a great place for children to safely stretch their legs. Mine enjoyed walking around the pond, swinging, and using the jungle gym, but there is also a basketball arena with many different height hoops.

Review №37

Id give it 5 stars if not for the geese. I guess if you like stepping over, around, in and through goose poop, its perfect. Other than that, its a nice pond with a nice but goose poop covered walking path. The playground is nice as well.

Went there around 3 in the afternoon and my dog and I had the place to ourselves. Unusual but worth it. Crossed the new bridge, hiked the trail back to the smaller pond. Its really laid out very well. Area is big enough and trail is blacktopped. My dog loved it and I enjoyed it also.

Nice place to bring young children. A nice play area and a great walkway around the pond. They also have a basketball play area as well. All-sized backboard heights. They even have a little dock here to walk out over the water. The outer walkway encircles the entire pond. Very nicely done.

Great walking path with pond that has a water feature and bridge. Playground area that has childrens swings, sliding boards, plastic rock climbing areas and basketball hoops.

Review №65

This is a very nice place for people of all ages and especially for families. The entire area was reconfigured to be ADA ACCESSIBLE a few years ago. Theres a climbing and sliding board area where an assistant can roll a child in a wheelchair to the top of the slide. A separate lot has a large swingset with 2 swings that are simple slings for independent children, plus 2 toddler swings designed to keep younger children from falling off because the swing keeps them upright and has a hole for each leg. There is a 5th swing with a very nice high back and front bar, plus a safety belt that is suitable for children who have difficulty supporting their upper body. While I was there I saw adults use it for children who were just walking age to nearly ready for Middle School. Despite the wide array of play equipment available, occasionally someone would approach to wait for a turn when everything was in use. Both the children on the swings and the accompanying adults were quick to relinquish a turn without a fuss. This alone made the visit pleasant for me.There are comfortable benches and picnic areas scattered throughout the park. The pond usually has a few families of ducks swimming together. Due to unusually cold weather, there was a one-inch or more thick layer of ice over the pond. There were no holes large enough for the ducks to swim nor to fish for food; they were all flying overhead in the vicinity. Children seemed to enjoy watching the formations as much as swimming. Many of them were surprised to learn that ducks eat corn. They were seen landing in gaggles in the harvested fields of an adjoining farm and learning that some corn falls to the ground during harvest. Opportunities to learn were abundant. They even have clean bathrooms.Adults of all ages as well as children enjoy walking or jogging on the pathways around the pond. The paths are wheelchair friendly and nearly flat. Distances are marked, making it easier to a route suited to your fitness goals.Go to the Westminster Community Pond and Playground and youll find something you enjoy doing#swingset #playground #shaded #autumnleaves #picnic

The updated park design, walking paths and playground are great, but the pond maintenance could be improved. The water doesnt seem to be aerated enough and is stagnant. Overall, just needs a little TLC.

This is a great little park area. Has a lovely pond that you can walk around on the path that goes around it. There is a little pier that goes out over the water with a secure fence all the way around for safety especially with little ones. There is a play area beside the pond with different size basketball hoops for kids or adults of all ages to enjoy. There is benches available to sit on and relax. An ample parking lot to handle large groups. Across from the the parking lot from the pond is a very large childrens playset jungle gym area with lots of slides and a bouncy bridge. Highly recommend this place a s a great family hangout. Especially after a great meal at Baughers just up the road.

Nice little Park to bring kids to. Not really big enough to run around, only a quarter mile around the main pond. The sidewalk to the back pond is neat and unexpected but short. Lots of trees so it would be a good spot for a picnic.
