Nice area to do just about anything. There are several parks with plenty of gazeebos and picnic tables. There is a fishing pond along with plenty of areas for joggers, or those who want to enjoy the scenery at a more leisurely pace. There is also a disc golf ( frisbee golf) course as well. Although bring extra frisbees just in case. Depending on the course, there are some areas that are near alot of trees. A great place to spend a sunny afternoon.
Everything a park should be ~ large lake, play and picnic areas, shelters, boats to rent, fishing, beautiful scenery, and a great Christmas light show. I really appreciate the 5-mile running/walking trail ~ pretty well marked, challenging, and scenic.
We take the kids every year to look at the Christmas lights. It's nice unless the person behind you don't shut off their headlights or you are behind a diesel truck!
i liked to quietness but didn't enjoy the duck poo all over lol. sometimes people can be nosey but other than that they are nice.
Many lovely light displays. Many more than Brandenburg, Kentucky with the lake as a backdrop for many. After Christmas however many were not lit and it would have been nice to see them all. The advertising was more prominent than those at the Riverside Park in Brandenburg which was a bit of a drawback. At the B.burg display the central focus is the Christmas display and then we notice what advertiser put it there. Many at Freeman Lake were very imaginative and incorporated much more than just lights. Some were really beautiful and many celebrate the true reason for Christmas. Well worth visiting.
I have been coming to this park for over 25 years now. I love having someplace the family can go to enjoy being outside.
5 miles of trails. Some gravel, some blacktop, and some dirt. Pedestrians walking have right of way. Great views with lots of ducks and geese. Places to cook, and some historic sights. We biked and it was moderate due to hills and tree roots. Some people fishing and some in paddle boats.
The park has had a lot of improvements over the past two years. They have nice barbecue facilities for cook outs during the summer. Christmas time is awesome when you can drive thru at night time and see all the dioramas that have been built by local businesses and don't forget to sit your radio to holiday music.
When we have out of town ers visit, this is a must see. It is located right in the middle of town and is our community water supply. However, it hosts concerts, festivals , etc. There are pavilions for picnics (can be reserved for private events, reasonably priced), walking trails, paddle boats, historic one room school house and log cabin. There are several playgrounds for children and fishing is available. It is scenic as well. In the winter, it is the setting for "Christmas in the Park", one of the largest Christmas light displays in the country. Yep, I love this park!
This is a place that is nice for family outings anytime of the year, but the light show at Christmas time is spectacular.
