Glenwood Gardens

Going here was such a blast! Very lively on Sunday morning. The weather was great and the flowers were lovely. The trails are well maintained.

It's a great place. We were here today. There were lots of things to do: walk around and go to the playground. They have a model train and a room where you can put together puzzles, draw, and observe some animals. We saw snakes, rabbits, toads, and a spider. Everything was really beautiful. We had an incredible time, every time we went, and the prices were affordable. Recommended.

Smaller park, there is I believe 3 trails/paths that you can access without paying to get into the special garden (geared towards children). I think you normally have to have the Great Parks pass or pay to get in, but there was not an attendant at the booth on a friday afternoon, so it's probably hit or miss. Pretty scenery and flowers. Not a lot of shade on the trails themselves. The main trail is paved and the wetland loop up gravel. As with any walk, check yourself and your dog after for ticks. They're very bad this year. My dog enjoyed the walk. There were seveal parties doing graduation photos here so I guess it's popular for getting photos taken. We got to see a snake, a couple rabbits, and 2 turkey vultures. There are trash and recycling receptacles on the trails.

This is one of my all time favorite parks. Love the walking paths. There are also wooded paths leading into the forest in various areas. The amount of wildlife here is insane. I always see the coolest birds. Today I saw an owl and it was absolutely stunning (see picture). I also did my engagement pictures here a few years ago and they turned out amazing. If you're thinking about visiting this park, do it! It does not disappoint. Love checking out the paw paw trees!

My family was gifted a season pass for Christmas and we have loved it! We visit the discovery garden weekly for their super sprouts club. The picnic area and bathrooms are always clean. Staff is friendly and cheerful. The place is well maintained and absolutely beautiful. It truly is a wonderful place to be for both children and adults. I highly recommend a visit to everyone and the season pass for families who plan to visit often.
