Growing up here is fun I ride my skateboard here often as it isnt ever too far from many shops etc. Plenty to do here no matter what fits your style! One of the greatest little nooks in Midland.

I havent liked Stratford in years... I went there on May 26th. That day they were spraying stuff in the water, the beach was closed but they opened the next day and It wasnt bad!They did a nice clean up, we had tons of fun swimming!! Great place for kids, adults, and families! Great fishing too!!

Big area to play football baseball really any outdoor activities

The park has been an escape during covid. We go hiking there and fishing quite often. My sons enjoy the bmx park a lot to. It is good to have a place to go to get some family time in the great outdoors.

Its a nice park I wouldnt swim there but I appreciate having it

Great park atmosphere. Lots of different things to do. Excellent parking as well.

Volleyball courts. Swimming. Great scenery. Walking paths. Pavilions. Great place for family and friends getting together

Nice park,. Nice lake for swimming and to take kids fishing

The lake was well maintained. We were there with my 5 grand children. They had a blast. The only think I was disappointed in was the rest rooms were not open.

Kids had a great race at the cross country course

Watched an outdoor movie there was very nice

Nice place since they put in the parking, bmx track, vollleyball, bathrooms, swings for the kids and a nice beach area...but do yourself a favor and dont swim there and dont eat the fish. Its a stagnant pond we used to call big and little soaker... that was pretty polluted back in the 70s.

The BMX track and parking lot are great!

Its okay nice hiking trails okay Beach yes I would go back to it

I love this place! Ive come here since I was a kid, there are trails, a beach, Pavilions for picnics with power, actual bathrooms, and you can even fish for small fish here.

Like I said its a great little park But it could use some extra things for the kids to entertain their selves on. MAYBE

Its a stagnant pond, so it stinks. Its good for a walk, but too gross for swimming in my opinion.

Great place for fishing pike, bullhead and bluegill.

Dirty water of course but good for a free park

Very nice and well kept great family place

Nice place for a 3mile trail run, kayak and a rest in my hammock afterwards.

This is our favorite close to home park. Theres so much to do and its a great family environment. They have a basketball court and volleyball courts. Theres a play ground. You can fish here as well as a nice beach area to swim. Well maintained, beautiful park.

Beautiful park. Plenty of nice benches, tables, and pavilions. Theres a small beach than looked nice, but didnt really get a close look at it. Plenty of parking and paved paths, too.

One of my top favorite beaches to visit very clean and environmentally friendly.

Great sand beaches. Clean. Nice place to hang out by yourself or a gathering. Will definitely be visiting next summer.

Nice place to go and walk around the trails

Very nice area set back a little ways from the main road. We went to play volleyball and had a blast here. The water is very nice but was still pretty cold.

Nice view of the lake. Theres a playground too, and a beach on the lake. Good place to take dogs and kids.

I love that the playground is right on the sand close to the water so that you can keep eyes on young children regardless of where theyre playing. There are bathrooms, sand volleyball courts and a trail around the little lake. The lake itself is pretty small and the swim area is even smaller (and the water can be murky), but its a nice little park.

Beautiful park, decent bmx dirt track, lovely for a picnic.

Great place for families and kids!!

Nice swimming area. A little weedy for fishing anything but too water baits. Could be a great place for fly fishing for bluegills. Good walking trail around the lake and through the woods.

It was clean, and well maintained. Its a great place to take the kids or have a picnic. The bmx track needs a little work, but my kids still ride there and love it.

Love playing volleyball here in the summer. Beach is not terrible, but not my first choice for a beach.

Beautiful place to hang out during spring, summer, and fall. Has a walk/run path around the lake and a box course as well. Kids playground and a seasonal bathroom. Several Pokemon stops and gyms for the Pokemon Go players as well.

Great place to swim

Nice little park, I enjoy the walking trails around the lake/pond. Great place for a family gathering or a picnic

Nice big park, decent city beach. Lots of hiking.

Been some years since Ive been there but a fun place for swimming fishing volleyball barbecuing bike riding and such

Great place to take the dog for a walk.

I have lived in Midland for 18 years and my first time ever going to Stafford Park was for my daughters Cross Country meet 9/2018. It is a decent little park with a nice pond. Will like to go back and explore :)

Perfect place for an Anniversary party.

This like most Midland parks is clean and well maintained. There is a beach and a swimming area. Volley ball courts are waiting for you. The walking paths wind through to word and along the free way. This is a pleasant place to head for a walk or a picnic.

One word -Peaceful ️

Excellent local park, with a well-managed lake! Thanks for the memories!

I absolutely LOVE this place! Ive literally grown up in this park. There are so many things to do... BMX track, rent pavilion with power, swim on the beach, fish, walk in the trails, dogs love it as well. Probably one of the larger parks in Midland, MI.

Nice park to go for a walk or in the summer go for a swim. They have a great beach that is well maintained.

Awesome fishing day with my favorite littles.

But it was closed do to allege

Great atmosphere and landscape

Had our annual picnic in the nice park had volley ball courts nice beach and good walking trails

Great place to fish for pike

Its a really nice place to walk or run or play a game. BUT the lake is dirtier than when I first went to swim. But every thing else is perfect. Also its a great place to kayak or swim. And there is fish and turtles!!! In the lake. I like turtles.

Love this park its so big and well kept

Nice place to hang out.

Beautiful area get to teach kids to fish.

Lots of recreational activities

Used to be great local beach wish they would clean it up.

Nice place when its not too crowded

Nice little BMX track and trails

Cross Country race nice place

The park is a jewel as parks go!!!

Just a pretty place, nice place for swimming and picnics

Beautiful cross country trail!

It is a nice walk for families, pets, and couples. The trails are not to long and easy to navigate. There are a few pokéstops also,for the kids. Make sure to take some bug spray though.

A nice place to fish and have a picnic

Nice place for a walk with family/friends/dogs. Small fish fishing, volleyball nets, sandy beach for swimming. Needs new picnic tables as current ones are kinda worn out. Favorite park since youth.

I like walking around the lake but I would not swim here. The water is currently being monitored for E. Coli. My daughter was playing in the sand and there was broken glass right next to the play structure. Cigarette butts everywhere. Definitely not where I would go for a day at the beach.

Its got a lot happening, but for the track meet we attended, parking was woefully I adequate.

I LOVE this beach. Its small, but with a lake feel. Its not nearly as chaotic as Sanford. The kids have a great time. Its clean. Except the bathrooms. The bathrooms are absolutely filthy.

First time to this park!! Just Beautiful!!

Very very nice other than how weedy in the water yall need to clean that outa the swimming area

Cold outside but enjoyed my adventure through the trails with my dog!!

Right by my house great woods and paths

Its the only beach in town

This is a wonderful park to fish, swim, volley ball games & to camp.

Nice park. Fun playing volleyball

Nice park with trails through the trees and sandy beach. Gets a little messy in the late fall when all the geese settle in. Other than that its a great place to walk the dogs, play beach volleyball, fish, swim, or just hike.

Great place for beach workouts. Swimming or running. People wall their dogs their and most clean up after them. Not huge fish in there but bass pike catfish and pan fish.

Very beautiful park and lake.

A really good spot to go fishing

Great little pond/lake to take your kids. Theres usually always dogs and sometimes dog poop. If everyone did their job to clean up after themselves, I would be able to give this park a 5 star.

Great little swimming hole for kids, can get a film over top and stink sometimes on super hot days in the summer.

Great park and beach volleyball courts

Great place for a run!

Picnic tables, restroom facilities, a small beach area, volleyball courts, walking trails in the woods, fishing spots, and more. This park has lots to offer - we often take our dogs to swim in the small lake, have also seen folks canoeing and paddle boarding on the lake. Another gem for the city of Midland!

Hidden gem. Beach is never crowded and they have nice walking trails. The place is usually kept up really nicely.

Decent spot to take a family. Needs more picnic tables and since its small, it get easily crowded.

Nice clean rustic park.

Best beach within Bay City/Saginaw/Midland area. Free parking, free fishing, & free swimming.Saginaw beach behind best buy has $5 parking. You can rent kayaks, row boats, & canoes. For 2 people to kayak for 1 hour there will cost $15 parking included.

Great place to take the kids. 2 parks to play and you can swim. Take a walk in the woods, play volleyball and bmx bike.

A very nice well maintained park. We go here annually for a cyclocross race. It looks like a good place for families as well.

We had the best time!!

Fabulous HUGE park with a lake, a beach, beach volleyball, basketball courts, and walking trails in the woods. Great place for all ages and pets

Nice little park with a beach nice for a walk

My happy place

Crawfish hunting is fun. Snail collecting also fun. Slide, swimming, bathrooms all good... Have spotted Leeches, though

Very pretty park

A really great place for a family visit.

Lots of good talent
