Reviews
"One of our favorite places for over 25 years! Plus, host for Cliffton's Eagle Scout project."
"The playground is very dated. The slide is very unsafe. My daughter started to fall backward down the stairs when trying to sit to go down (no room at the top). Thankfully, I caught her. I do not recommend this playground. It should be taken down and modernized to do this park justice."
"Ive been taking my dogs, children, and now grand children, to Russell Woods for 22 years. Its beautiful and well maintained with lots of trails to hike and the river to play in. The learning center is always fun for the kids too. Unfortunately camping isn't allowed there anymore but its still a great place to spend a few hours. Its close to home, but you can still feel like you're lost in nature!"
"3 1/2 stars would be more appropriate. It's a nice hill for sledding. Not too bad climbing up I wouldn't think. And there are a few benches. In the summer they mow and there are paths at the bottom and a gravel road for park service vehicles."
