Waddell Park — Attraction in Weathersfield Township

It's a nice splash pad and playground because it's new, but you can't have your stuff sitting at a table without strangers sitting at your table. We are a family of 3 and there are 4 seats to a table. Looking at our table with our 2 large bags on it, surrounded by three strangers sitting there like it was their business. I've never been to a place where people invade your stuff and space, but what a good way to prevent people from coming back and enjoying a day at the park. You'd have to ask people to leave your table that has your stuff on it, so awkward. I retrieved our belongings and relocated and wanted so badly to say something but promised myself that I wasn't going to ruin my day. There's not enough benches and seating for the number of people...

I took my son to the playground and we were getting swarmed by wasps and stinkbugs. I wouldn't have had much of a problem if it was just stinkbugs because they're everywhere right now. But a wasp landed on my 3 year old and he screamed and swiped at it and then was too afraid to play on the slides. We went to another part of the park and the structures were broken and decrepit. It really wasn't a great experience. Someone needs to regularly take care of the wasps as they will build hives inside the playground structures, and we don't know if our son is allergic to bees or wasps, and you never know if a young kid with an unknown allergy will get hurt. We also need to take better care of the structures. Do the owners need volunteers...

As a girl, this was a fun family place to go and enjoy time with your family. Today, I wouldn't take my dog there. The park is usually overgrown and the outdoor restroom facilities have been out of order for I don't know how long, possibly years. The picnic areas are way overdue for upgrades. The grills are disgusting and no one in their right mind would utilize them preparing food! The park needs consistently maintained which it is not and until that happens don't...
