Meadow Lake Park

Natural Retreat

Nestled across 76.50 acres of peaceful terrain, Meadow Lake Park offers a tranquil escape alongside a picturesque reservoir. The expansive grounds showcase stunning views of the water and surrounding landscape - a wonderful backdrop for those moments when you just need to disconnect and breathe.

We love how the park balances wide open grassy spaces with pockets of shade, making it easy to throw a frisbee around or organize an impromptu football game with friends. If you're visiting, you'll appreciate those magical moments when the sun sets over the water, or when a full moon casts its glow across the lake's surface.

Fishing Haven

Meadow Lake Park is a bit of a lesser-known park for fishing enthusiasts. The waters here teem with bass, catfish, and perch, which you can try your luck catching from either the fishing pier or the floating dock.

The dock gives you great access to deeper water, and there's even a kayak launch pad if you prefer to paddle out and find your own perfect fishing spot. With depths reaching about 7 feet in certain areas, there are plenty of promising locations where the fish like to hang out.

Trail Experience

One thing that keeps visitors coming back to Meadow Lake Park is its 1.35-mile trail system. Whether you're in the mood for a casual stroll, a brisk run, or a relaxing bike ride, these paths deliver a refreshing outdoor experience.

The concrete trails make the park accessible for everyone, gently winding through natural areas where you can spot local wildlife and native plants. When you need a breather, you'll find benches thoughtfully placed in both sunny and shaded spots along the way.

Fun for Everyone

If you've got kids in tow, the shaded playscape area is a must-visit spot. The playground has equipment suitable for children of all ages, from swings and slides to interactive elements like a xylophone that lets little ones make their own music.

For those who enjoy a bit of friendly competition, the park features two horseshoe pits - a classic outdoor activity that's surprisingly addictive once you get started.

Picnic Paradise

If you get hungry while visiting, Meadow Lake Park offers several picnic options. The picnic shelter provides welcome shade for group gatherings or family meals.

Within the grounds, you'll come across eight picnic tables and three barbecue grills ready for your outdoor cooking adventures. If you prefer a more casual dining experience, there are plenty of grassy areas great for spreading out a blanket and enjoying lunch with a view of the lake.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Your furry companions will feel right at home here in this dog-friendly environment with plenty of open spaces to explore. The thoughtfully placed dog waste stations along the trail make it easy to be a responsible pet owner.

The trails provide an excellent route for walking your leashed dogs, giving both you and your pet some exercise while taking in the scenic surroundings.

Good to Know

The park includes a drinking fountain, but you might want to bring your own water just in case - it's occasionally reported to be out of service. Note that there are no public restrooms available, so plan accordingly if you're thinking about a longer visit.

Since the park sits within a residential area, parking is mainly available on the surrounding streets. Be mindful of the neighbors when finding a spot for your vehicle.
