Nice park lots of amenities. Bathrooms next to the playground and benches are in the shade. Not many kids here that I’ve noticed. My kids liked it but prefer other parks.

My niece(the Peanut) LOVES this park — and so do her grandparents. It is a bit like The Velveteen Rabbit — a bit worn in places, but when you visit you’ll see why it’s also well loved. There are soccer and ball fields, lots of bathrooms, plenty of parking, several jungle gym areas(some newer — and some older), and tons of green space and picnic areas. My parents like to take the Peanut to the smaller, quietier jungle gyms that aren’t quite as busy, because it allows them to watch her run off some energy without worrying about big kid shananagins. Drive around and find your favorite spot to take the kiddo(s) or yourself… this park has a lot to offer if you take the time to discover all it’s perks!

This is a beautiful park with a ton to offer. Fenton City Park is massive, almost 100 acres. The trail that loops the outer limits of the park is paved and smooth and nice for pushing a baby stroller through or riding a bike on since they maintain the concrete so well. It isn’t long, only about a mile and a half, but the trails meet up with a bunch of different trails that go outside of the park, so you can get in a hearty ride or run… whatever your pick. There are tennis courts, but they have pretty much been destroyed by the recent floods and currently the nets consists of orange traffic cones… I am sure they will fix this soon since this park is immaculately groomed, but just a forewarning. Also, there a ton of clean bathrooms, softball and soccer fields that are usually filled with adorable little kids playing sports, and a decent playground. When the Meremac floods this place tends to take the brunt of it, which is sad, but it has the left the grass fertile and beautiful over the years. There’s a ton of parking all over the park so you will never have to fight for a spot, and there’s basketball courts. Something you will be hard pressed to find anywhere in the city limits.
