Good place walk trails spend time outdoors
I attend to family reunions here every year. It is a great park it is well maintained and very clean. The bathrooms are very clean and in order. The shelters have electric Outlets which are handy on hot days for plugging in a fan or charging up a phone. They have places for young kids to play swings for the older kids and ball fields for the whole family. Its a great Park
Looks like a very nice park for congregating and having cookouts. The sheds are properly spaced and plenty of things to do. However, I was told there was a fishing pond and was very disappointed 😞. What was called a pond looks like a runoff drainage pool. 🤢🤦🏾♂️
Good place to relax after a long day of work
Beautiful quite and well maintained park. So peaceful and great place to relax & eat lunch.
One of the best area parks, this one is especially glorious as it verdantly sprawls for what seems like an endless amount of wilderness space. Nice playgrounds and picnic space, right in the middle of the vast greenery, near a big pond, all within suburbia.
Beautiful park, well-maintained, lots of picnic tables and shelters with grills with play areas nearby, many great photo sites, paved trails for the handi-capable, fitness trails, too. A lovely place to spend the day.
I took my seven-year-old granddaughter and my ten-year-old grandson they had a great time playing on the climb and stuff and a slide in the tunnels and then we went down to the lake and they threw rocks at the lady in the lake and everything so yeah its really a nice part got nice trails
Great park, a little secluded, u might pass it up if u didnt know it was there. Has all the amenities to have a good time. Wide open areas to play sports, picnic areas and tables, walking paths, areas for kids. If youre a nature freak, u can explore the wooded areas and theres even a small stream to cool your feet in. Even the grounds people are friendly and talkative if u happen to see them. Overall, a nice little park, but not super busy, nestled in what is primarily considered city.
Lovely Park. Entered from rear entrance, walked around pond.
Only thing I didnt like too much was the trails that lead to the residential areas.
Really use to be a very nice park but now its outdated and un maintained. Playground equipment has really went down hill.
Perfect peaceful place to run. Nice part of town as well. Grass well mowed and bathrooms well maintained.
I really enjoy this park, it has several walking trails along with inclines. My husband enjoys all the cardio stations along the routes; weve been their twice already and will be going back soon.
Its spacious with lots of picnic tables and different areas to see... Also has a playground area for the kids. Bathrooms are closed so dont go if you have just eaten and drank something...
I truly enjoyed the atmosphere the park has so much space and the landscape was beautiful I would definitely be visiting that area against
Love having my birthday there
It was nice ,walked the trails an sit on benches afterwards relaxing
I like the pond, trails, and wildlife. It is very peaceful. I wish the restrooms had soap and paper towels/hand dryer, and playground slides that didnt end 2-3 feet from the ground.
Quite a nice park. Quit nice walking paths. Tennis and basketball courts. Tables for picnics. Bathrooms are locked. I see deer every time i drive threw.
Clean nice pavilions
A huge park thats nice and peaceful, it has a very long path for walks and jobs, youll be able to see wild rabbits in the grass, theres a patch of wildflowers and such for animals and insects, a bunch of little workouts and stretches along the paths too. Theres a nice lake that you can fish in which usually has a big white duck nearby. You can see the fish swimming around and the turtles popping their heads up too.You can find a tennis court in the very back.A baseball field on the road to the back.A basketball court in the very front.Back by the tennis courts on the other side near the lake there are 3 areas that you can have get togethers at which have grills and picnic style tables. One of them even has a fireplace.Theres a nice playground area there too!Theres something for the entire family there.
Nice little park located just off Dixie Dr in Vandalia! Very pretty!
It was beautiful place for a family npucnic. The grounds were well kept and the bathrooms were clean & well stocked Nice playgrounds, basketball & tennis courts. Nature trails for those who want to commune with nature.
Good place to run.There are about 2 miles of trails plus the 1.5 mile access road, all blacktop with grass along most of the way to save your knees. Rolling hills most of the way, and good cover enough to run in 90 degree weather. Go to the end of the road by the fishing pond, and the trail loops around it. It ends about 2 miles later at the road,but the road itself isnt bad to run on.
This park is a great place to walk on a paved trail, but off the beat and path. Picturest pond, and some challenging hills to enhance your walk workout.
This has been a favorite of mine for years. Me and my girlfriend love this place for our walks, it has paths that twist all through the park, several pavilions to host get togethers, and a beautiful lake to sit by.
Clean, beautiful park. Two different playgrounds, a tennis court, baseball diamonds and tons of paved trails through tbe woods good for biking or walking.
Its much larger than I expected and there are lots of trees a nice change from the areas normal parks I saw a basket ball court and tennis courtsThe play place in the back of the park near the picnic area **is not designed or safe for small children*** the slide has a almost 3 foot drop from where the slide ends to the ground not much for a 8-12 year old nothing to a teenager not safe for a 2 year old and a 4 year old.
Very nice park for picnics, playing ball, fishing and taking lunch breaks. Very clean and well-maintained!
I love it here! Really nice and peaceful park.
Me and my new honey Kevin spent beautiful quality time together in the park after a delicious dinner at Outback
My nephews Memeorial was held at a Picnic area by the pond. The pond is looking real shabby
Its a good park, had both paved and unpaved trails. 2 Small playgrounds, tennis courts, fishing pond, multiple picnic areas, baseball and soccer fields, basketball court and pit bathrooms.
Overall its a very nice park. The tennis courts are fairly nice and the park is pretty good too. It can be kind of gross there sometimes though.
Ours quietest early In the day. Its a great park with a trail ,a pond with ducks and plenty of land forpets and kids and everyone really. Great atmosphere
This is a rather nice park to walk around. While small, its typically clean with some elevation changes on the path.
Plenty of space to let the kids run and play as much as they want, baseball fields for family and friend games, basketball courts and other activities for the family. Restrooms as well.
Another year celebrating the memorial family Reunion with survivors of the Allen clan always enjoying the park, shelter house and the outdoor life of festive food and fun with water games abounding.
The park looks a lot better than it has in the past, which is saying something. There werent any needles or empty 40s in the play areas which is a massive improvement from years past. Still work to be done...
I didnt realize how huge this place was. Its really nice, but the way the shelters are set up is so backwards. Also I didnt see any numbers outside of them so you know exactly where youre going. I almost ended up at someone elses family reunion.
Playground is tiny and in disrepair, would not recommend bringing children here. Shiloh Park is right down the road is is much, much nicer.
Very nice and peaceful. Parks are the best places to go at this time for sure.
Really dig it. Lights for the tennis courts. Very clean.
Lovely park to visit with children. I just wish it had swings. The lake brings out some wonderful possible wildlife encounters.
Good playgrounds and trails. I take my kids there all the time. The pond and creek are filthy disgusting though.
I had a great time
There are two playground, a basketball court, a pond, tennis courts, and baseball diamonds. There are also lots of trails through the beautiful woods.
Lovely walking trails with exercises and a pretty pond to walk around. The walking trail we used was nice and wide and paved. Lots of shade!
Large park has everything
Very clean park.
Nice quiet park. Needs some street repairs though.
I love this park. I grew up playing in their woods as I lived right next to the park. Very relaxing place.
Use the back entrance to get by the pond.
Good ammount of covered picnic tables. Restrooms have running water. Playground for the kids was in good shape.
Get place for a family reunion. Well taken care of grounds. I would recommend this park to anyone. Thanks.
Beautiful little park, with a pond, walking trails, picnic shelters, tennis courts, fitness course.
It was a very clean park. Restrooms are shut down for obvious reasons but the water and people were refreshing.
The parts of this park that Ive seen so far were great, and its massive, so theres lots more for me to see.
Almost always beautiful!!!
This playground in this park is in horrible shape due to vandalism.
Great place to go to and relax and have a picnic, they have playgrounds and shelters, basketball court

2022-05-26Has sports complex features in the front of the park. Follow the park road to the back of the park and you will find a natural wooded area with moderate to hard elevations. one of the main trails is blacktopped and you can follow that around and do the health fitness sections to improve the body and mind.

2021-09-07Beautifully maintained park. Long road back to the tennis courts, pond, and playground but well worth the trip. Multiple pavilions for family gatherings and cookouts, including one with a stone fireplace. Highly recommend

2021-10-17Hey! AVAP is probably about a 3.5 with potential for a perfect 5! Its a great size with lots of green space, hiking trails, tennis courts, basketball, baseball, and a pond to boot.Its only drawback is that it hasnt been taken care of over the years. It still isnt bad, but it could be wonderful. It would probably be best to pass it on the Metroparks. MP has the premier parks and the skill and experience and resources to keep them great!
