Nice park which is not an overcrowded even at weekends. They have a fishing pier. Also rawboats and pedal boats rentals are availble. I rented a raw boat to go to the Independence lake center and to fish a Northern pike!

The short version: I love Indy! Where to start? For me, disc golf. But also: Waterpark, hiking, swimming lake and beach, pavilions, nature, and not far from the freeway! The long version: The disc golf course is one of the better rated in the area. It's now two 18 hole courses (East and West), replete with a pavilions and fire pits, bathrooms, and a practice hole. The waterpark is pretty fun for its size. Sitting across from the disc golf course and on the lake proper you'll find a couple slides, some water playgrounds including a big dumping of water from a wheel every few minutes. Concessions were open with ice cream and so on. I think there were medium sized locker rooms and possibly separate family rooms. Further down the road you'll find the start of the pathway trail that weaves it's way through the park. I'm not sure about the length. Parts are on a boardwalk and cross through marsh and other grassy areas. It's pretty well done and seems to be at least a couple miles long. There are bike paths as well. Search their site for info on that. A bit further into the park and you'll find the lake swimming area. It's not very large like Martindale at Kensington or Stony, but I recall the lake being pretty refreshing without being warm or ice cold. I'll have to update. It's not filled with soft golden sand, and if I recall there were stones or something a bit on the rough side mixed with mucky mud, so I wore my water shoes. It's $12 for a daily pass plus DG fee ($10 and $2). Washtenaw residents pay $35, non $45 for sure yearly...I think. DG is another 30 or 40 for a yearly.

This is my little hidden gem 💎! The splash pad area for the Littles is great and has an amazing concession area. The beach area is always great as well. That’s the end bar is quite large and the grassy area is usually kept pretty clean a.k.a. scooping of the goose poop the beach area also has its own concession area and clean bathrooms.
