Great family friendly free day This is a free park and there is so much to do. The fenced in playground is great. The area is mostly for older kids. The animals are easy to access and can be a great learning experience for anyone. The chickens are free roaming and might try to chase you. There is also a community garden.

Because of our resident farm animals we do not allow pets at Hess-Hathaway Park. All of the other parks operated by the Waterford Parks and Recreation Department do allow leashed pets. The Drayton Plains Nature Center is a wonderful park to take dogs to enjoy scenic trails.
