What a nice, beautiful, big, open public park with nice paths and scenery! Theres a clearwater pond in the middle with seaweed and an abundance of fish! There are docks spread throughout the pond that you can walk out onto. There are native plants growing around the pond and in the park, in general! It looked like they were working on a native plant restoration project, which is great! I ran into an unexpected war memorial, at the park, which was really well constructed. There were signs next to trees educating people on the types of trees they are. I thought that was really cool. :D Its a nice park to have a picnic at. There were people hanging out on the grass, people walking their dogs, and children playing at the playground. It was a very inviting place.

Fun place to fish with your kids. Mostly little sunfish and some bass and big carp. You *can catch on a lure but red worms and a bobber work the best by far

We were married in the gazebo in 2018. Its a lovely spot and the available shelters were great for the reception. The city is totally renovating the shelters now and theyre looking great. We still come down there to play tennis and stroll around the pond. The tennis court could use some maintenance but its totally useable.

The slide is still broken, but its still a pretty nice park. Once the pavilion is finished and the splash pad opens again. It will be a 5 star park.

Its a very beautiful park. A big facility for kids to play, a huge shelter and a few grills. You can also bring your own grill, like us. We had a great time cooking there two weeks ago.

One of the best parks in the area! It offers so much to do. It has two play areas, bathrooms, a splash pad thats open in the summer, a lake that you can fish in, and a short walking trail around the lake. My kids never get bored here and it offers a wide variety for all ages!

Its a beautiful place for kids and small family outings. Very clean park and a lovely splash pad. The only thing I was concerned about was the bobcat driver, he was going at too fast a speed through the park where small children were running and playing. Please ask them to slow down, and cordon off areas where they need to be operating.thankyou for your consideration of small children. It is a wonderful park!

We ended up in Middleton in the afternoon and were looking for a place to play with our 4 year old and just turned 2 year old. There werent any baby swings in this park for the 2 year old. The park is built seemingly in a wetland so its pretty muddy in the early spring.Great park for climbing and sliding. In the summer the splash pad looks like it would be great!

An awesome place for family gatherings and lots of stuff to play with for children. You can reserve a space for family ceremonies or wedding parties. You will love it in the open and children can do water play as well.

Park is beautiful but we went for the splash pad which was less than satisfying. Half the time the water didnt work and there wasnt much variety. But alright for a close, quick cool down.

This is a great park! I have been walking everyday while I am here. There is a splash park for kiddos when the weather is warm. Covered picnic grounds, great walking path, ballfield, playground for the kids, pond for possible fishing!

We mainly use this park to let my grandkids practice tennis as this is where they have their lessons. Some of the problems is there is no benches inside or outside the tennis courts. Parents have to sit on the grass or bring a chair to watch the lessons but this is problematic in that there is a hill where the chairs need to be. I am disabled and use a walker and am forced to watch from my car. Even when the kids practice, there is no bench inside the court. McKee Park tennis courts in Fitchburg have a bench on the side of the fence by each court. This is a good place for players to put their bags and water bottles or for a family member to sit and watch. Also, while the park has restrooms, they are frequently closed on Sunday in the cooler weather. My grandkids have two one hour sessions and sometimes one needs to use the bathroom while waiting and they are locked. The park is pretty and keeping the bathrooms open and having benches in the tennis area would go a long way toward improving the park.

Review №56

This is a great community park that deserves 5 stars. The reason I give only 3 stars is muddy mess the park and surrounding grounds are. I’ve lived in the community for 20 years and every year the soggy, muddy grounds get worse. I would have thought with the upgrades to the park and addition of the splash pad, more consideration would have been put into drainage and landscaping.

I love this little park and miss it a lot. We used to live right around the corner and would take our dog on a walk here every day. Its a perfect little loop and youre usually all alone in the early morning. Its lit at night too, so the night walking is great. During the winter hardly anyone walks, which makes it perfect. A great resource for the neighborhood, complete with great horned owls, fox, muskrats, wood ducks, and many other awesome wildlife that you wouldnt expect.

There is a nice pavilion area for larger gatherings. The park is great for kids. The splash pad was good too, but it was not consistent in getting started up again after going though a cycle. The restart buttons were a bit fickle. A nice place to look at nature as well.

Lakeview park is a great place for many different occasions. From fishing to grilling out, this place has it all. A ton of public events also take place here such as ice cream socials and easter egg hints for the kids every year. I highly reccomend this place if you have a kid who needs to burn out energy, which in case theres teo seperate jungle gyms and a splash park, or maybe you are a hobbyist fishermen, in this case you will love the catch and release pond that is stocked with many variations of fish. Overall it has great parking, many fun activities, and is a great place to take the whole family!

Loved this large park and pavilion for National Night Out. The pavilion was large enough to feed the entire city (practically lol), host all the businesses, have mounted police, fire trucks, etc. And it was great when a DEA helicopter landed. Kids loved the water park and playground area.

An awesome park. Big covered picnic area, multiple play structures for kids, lots of fields and open space, and a great pond with a path going around it.

Review №93

This place is fun for the kids but is getting run down (as in I saw a rusty nail in a spot that kids crawl under and the wood is so worn down it is slippery). There was a diverse crowd there. Some of the parents needed not only sitters so someone is watching their kids but also to give them a 101 on basic sharing a public place ediquite .

Review №94

Nice park, but with the amount of money the city has put into the pond for fishing, the fishery shouldn’t be so unhealthy. On a trip today I saw hundreds of dead bluegill fingerlings along the shore and several dead largemouth bass. This water is being overrun with goldfish and carp which are stirring up the water and hurting native species. And there’s still a large amount of milfoil all over the pond. Whatever the strategy was to create a sustainable fishery back in 2013 was, it’s not working.
