Martindale Beach

"Clean, peaceful, boat rentals already closed for season (9/10/23) ☹️"

"Second weekend in a row we spent at the lake! Splash pad tickets are $7 ea, the concessions are open daily, and have decent prices. We had so much fun we stayed 8 + hrs."

"Posting for Kensington Metropark 4th of July fireworks (2023) - fireworks are shot off over Kent Lake (both Maple Beach and Martindale Beach surround Kent Lake and provide good views), starting shortly after 10pm. From Maple Beach, fireworks were to the right as you're looking at the lake. From Martindale, fireworks are straight across the lake (to the left of the water park.) Plenty of space for lawn chairs, blankets, etc, never got super packed (though it was a rainy year), and watch for trees that can obstruct views of course. Music starting around 7pm. Concessions open until 10pm, additional food and toy vendors in special for the day. Bathrooms in the building were available until after the fireworks and we'll cleaned considering it's a lake and also raining. Lake closed at 8pm for swimming. Awesome playground at Martindale Beach. Picnic tables and grilling allowed outside of direct swimming area. Parking lots could definitely fill before the show starts."

"I always enjoy spending time here. It’s so relaxing regardless if you swim there or just relax in the sun or in the shade. They do have a food stand open during the summer months that has a few tables with umbrellas. On the grassy hill going down to the beach area, there’s a couple trees that provide shade as well as a sidewalk that leads down to the sandy area."

"Beautiful, calm and quiet place to spend the summer at. A lot of greenery to see. Kayaks and canoes available for those adventurous people. Good place for families with kids. The water park close to the beach is a must go for those who like playing and dancing under water fountains and for those who love water slides. However, the beach isn't at all neat or well-maintained. There's less sand and a lot of muddy water at places. The beach water isn't clear or very clean. The sand and the grasses had animal poop all over the place. It was gross. Limited food options available. Not a good place for vegetarians to purchase food there as everything has either beef or pork in it."
