West Park — Attraction in Hamburg Township

Great for kids! No bathroom (sometimes there's a port-a-potty behind the amphitheater), but it has everything else. Great playground for "kids 5 and up" but toddlers can get up the stairs fine. In Spring 2021 they're adding more little kid infrastructure to the playground as well. There's a hidden hiking trail (old native american trail!) in the woods that goes the entire length of the park on the south side, west to east. It's accessible at the beginning and end of the park as well as by stairs in the middle. While walking on it, be on the lookout for wild carrots, mushrooms, silkworms, and hollowed out trees and logs.

Next to it are some of the biggest trees! Free parking on the east side and Big City Small World bakery is just kitty corner to stop for a snack.

Finally, on many summer mornings and evenings, a great blue heron can be seen hunting majestically in the water, plucking fish out with its long beak. Love this park.

Oh, forgot to mention... The Grateful Dead played here in the copper-topped...

I've been to this park a few times. It seems like nobody's heard of it. I couldn't even find it on Google. It seems like it's been there for a while.

The park is featured on the A2.gov 'Parks and Places' page, so I know it's a real park and I'm not just making this up.

From that page:

"The park contains a bandshell where concerts are given in the summer, a picnic shelter and restrooms, a playground, spray fountain, softball field, a basketball court, tennis courts, volleyball posts, picnic tables and walking path.

"A historic pergola is located at the Miller entrance. Some of the most beautiful Oaks are located in the middle of the park near the picnic area. The Willow trees mark the location of Allen Creek which is now in a pipe underground.
