An excellent place to reconnect with nature, yet a short distance from local cities, Mercer County Park has a huge variety of offerings for virtually every free-time activity. The park boasts multiple playgrounds at various locations with sets and swings for toddlers to climbing walls for the bigger kids. Inclusive equipment means that wheelchair access is also available. Loads of trails snake through the park, with many paved ways for roller blades or strollers, and single-track for hiking or mountain biking. Take your canine companion along or bring them to the dog park to meet other pups. With fields available all over the park, there are options for soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football, cricket, and ultimate. If you'd rather play a different "frisbee" sport, the 18-hole disc golf course has a good variety of challenging holes, and both blue tees for added difficulty and white tees for shorter distance. Ice skating and hockey are accommodated in the dedicated facility, and for water sports, the lake offers paddle boats and pleasant scenery. Badminton and beach volleyball have courts and nets set up also. The park offers many special events from fairs and carnivals, to concerts and beer-tastings. If you want to see wildlife, the park is home to deer, gophers, foxes, turtles, frogs, heron, raptors, and many others.

Leash free park is nice for all kinds of dogs... two separate areas so if your dog is under 35 pounds you can play with dogs more your size... the other enclosure is for the bigger dogs 35 pounds and over... lots of room to run...

You can get this info on Mercercountyparks.org/#!/facilities/picnic-areas/. I believe they haven't officially announced that they are doing picnic permits for the 2021 season. If you try to do a party without a permit the park ranger will throw you out.

Hema C | Dec 6, 2018
Jolanta Matusiak | Dec 7, 2018

Not sure about the prices. By the marina is a nice spot with tables if I recall correctly or The main building has a nice hall and restrooms. The best think would be to drive around and talk to the park administration. Good luck
