Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park
A large lakeside park with shaded picnic ground, fishing and well-kept trails. Charges an entrance fee, and litter around the lake edge is a repeated and pointed complaint given that.
An entrance fee applies, which visitors cite when complaining about upkeep
The lake area is reported covered with litter to the point that visitors did not feel comfortable walking in sandals or with dogs, which they contrast with the entrance fee charged
Plenty of shaded areas suited to family outings
Well-maintained trails with lake views throughout
Tables and plenty of space
Especially quiet at present since boats are not permitted while the dam is under construction
What we could not confirm
Visitors have not described these, so we are not guessing:
- Enclosure
- Restroom
- Toddlers
- Ground surface
- Water
- Parking
How we know this
Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
