Bradley Lake Park

"Really lovely park!"

"Beautiful park. Lots of trees, places to do picnics. Hidden gem."

"Really well maintained park with decent space for trails to walk or an ok space for kids to ride a bike and a few spots to fish. Beware, this park is usually very busy"

"Nice park for a walk or ride on bikes or other recreational wheels. Decent playground near the parking lot, while having another overflow lot across the street. You will sometimes run into some less than savory characters here and there, but not often enough to be an issue. Lots of shaded walking paths all around the lake, as well as some nice open grassy areas. The ball fields are somewhat small, reserved for younger kids."

"Bradley Lake Park is one of my favorite places to go for a short walk. The main trail is just .8 miles, paved and wide. Then there are side trails for a more woodsy experience. I love to go there, especially when it's not too busy, and listen to nature. There are several species of squirrels, all sorts of birds from the tiniest to bald eagles and, of course, water fowl. I even saw some bunnies out there. Park staff does a good job of keeping the main trail clear, even plowing the snow on the main trail in the middle of the winter. The park is dog friendly and kid friendly with a fairly expansive playground. Parking can be a little tight on beautiful, sunny days but a little patience will get you into one of the 3 parking areas (main, across the street, or in spots along the road) within minutes. Oh yes, there are two baseball fields as well, and lots of grass, a covered picnic area, and along the trail, places to sit. They stock the lake once a year with trout and a few other varieties of fish so, it's a really nice place, especially for the young and the elderly, to access fishing without long hikes. Like I said, I LOVE this park"
