Springbrook Gardens Park

"I love this park so much. My little dog loves this park for walks and watching the ducks and geese. The beautiful playground is now finished and the kids were all enjoying it this beautiful February afternoon."

"Possibly my favorite park in Mentor. Large open areas with paved paths for walking around a central pond. Plenty of dog walkers year round with a new pavilion and playground. This place will only get better through the years."

"Love the minimalistic vibe of this park. It is the perfect park to walk, jog, rollerblade or ride your bike if you are looking for a simple, easily accessible, park. It also has a very nice playground for the kids."

"What a great slice of nature in a busy part of Mentor! This is a newer park that was just created a couple years ago, but it is definitely a great asset. The park has around a mile and a half of nice level paved walking trails that meander around a pond, reclaimed wetland area, and grassy mounded areas. Whether you want to do some walking, birding, or just relax and enjoy a little wildlife by the pond, this park is perfect for those activities. The park has plenty of parking, a few picnic tables, and portable restrooms. When I visited the park I saw around 30 mallard ducks, and it was relaxing to stroll along the paved boardwalk that goes across the pond and watch the ducks take off and land in the pond. I would also feel very safe visiting this park alone since it has houses along 2 sides of the park and trees only at the perimeter and generally has good sight lines which made it feel much safer than walking alone in a wooded area. Since the park only has large trees along the perimeter, be aware that in the summer you won't find any shade and will need sunblock. Hopefully some more benches will be added to the park in the future. Also, there was quite a bit of trash in the reclaimed wetland area, so I hope that gets cleaned up periodically as I imagine loose items would blow across the property and collect in the wetland area which is a lower elevation."

"The trails here are nice for a short safe walk. The pond is good for fishing and it's just beautiful. I can't wait for some of the trees to grow for more shade."
