Great park. Fishing the big lake is tricky without a boat or kayak etc. The small pond can be OK. The river side has lots of little holes that can be pretty good. Although this year I have not caught a lot of fish there, it's so clean and pretty I keep going back. Great for walking and just enjoying nature.

Took my kayak out for the first time. I paddled all around the little islands and under the bridges. Lots of birds. Had my Merlin app running. The water is a bit gross - maybe from the geese, but it was still a nice morning.

Good place for a hike of your choosing. Walk beside the river, on wooded trails or by open prairie along paved road, wide paths, over wide foot bridges, or beside paved roadways. We've seen deer near the riverside path in late afternoon.

The expansive lake was perfect for kayaking, and the well-maintained trails offered plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking. I was particularly impressed by the scenic views and the diversity of wildlife I encountered along the trails. The park also features ample picnic areas and playgrounds, making it ideal for family outings. What stood out most was the peaceful atmosphere; it was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're looking for a place to relax or engage in active recreation, Eastwood MetroPark has something to offer everyone.

I recently visited Eastwood MetroPark with the intention of photographing waterbirds, and it exceeded my expectations. The lake hosts a remarkable variety of waterbirds, making it a fantastic spot for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. What stood out to me were the multiple photography-friendly vantage points around the park. These spots provided excellent opportunities to observe and capture the birds in their natural habitat. Although I visited during a cooler season, the abundance of bird species was impressive, and I’m excited to return in the warmer months when I’m sure even more wildlife will be present.
