Oak Grove Park has a great area for youth group camping. Last time we took 10+ Girl Scout troops for a 2-night campout. We also requested a tour at the nature hut--- the curator was awesome and provided so much information to girls from 6-16 yr old!

This is a huge place to visit and just spend the day. Consists of a few trails. It's a really really nice place to spend the day. Clean. Bathrooms aren't bad either.

They need to work on maintenance. There's broken tree branches everywhere and the grass is yellow.

Really starting to love these courses; there are two of them, called purple and gold. Some of the holes wind through the oak trees, and others are more open in the grassy parts of the park, but there are oaks pretty much everywhere. Also some water, and geese, and people walking around. Nice atmosphere here, very friendly and relaxing. Well maintained, sometimes a little windy.

Oddly relaxing park for being at i5 and 8 mile road. As oddly not many people walk or bike to the park, there's no entrance fees for that unless you bring pets.

Good place to hang out and fish. Cost $6 to go in and $5 for each person to fish over 18. Not that much fish tho. I would expect more fish since we have to pay for fishing.

We stopped here on our way to our destination. It cost 6 bucks to get in but it was worth it. My dog got to go potty and they have clean restrooms for both men and women. We got to take a little rest at this comfortable spot. I will go there again rather than a dirty gas station.

The disc golf course was good and we certainly would play again when we are in the area. The only complaint is that there were not any maps. We liked the signs on each tee with the pictures.

First time there. We enjoyed all the trails (walked 3 miles) and it has a very nice pond. It borders Interstate-5 so there is persistent auto noise.

What you'd expect from a park. Nice area to eat, nice lake, didn't get a chance to explore a bunch but had a good time.

An absolutely gorgeous park for the entire family to visit and enjoy! Ponds, playgrounds, and excellent Nature Trails! Frisbee Golf can also be enjoyed by participating on their grand course. Fishing is also allowed in several locations. There are also Paddle Boats to rent and enjoy for all family members. A fun day anytime that you visit!

It's a nice park if you want to play disc golf or if you want to take the kids and play or even fish.

Disc golf course is awesome!! Only downfall is that the park closes at 5 pm sharp. Not cool if you work during business hours. I would definitely play when I have more time on the weekend because the course is super fun. Decent cement tee pads, okay signage. No benches at the tee pad.

Beautiful quaint park with lovely views of the little lake and lush green to walk through on the trails. Lots of geese as well so just be sure to give them their space since they can be a little bit moody.

Oak Grove regional Park is always a fun place to go. There is plenty of geese and ducks. You can also fish for a fee. There are two playgrounds walking paths and frisbee golf. There is also a nature center which I haven't been to in a long time. Which I remember there is a very friendly staff on board that will teach you all about the animals. They will also teach you about plants. They will also let you touch the snakes and other animals they have. Oak Grove regional Park is a must visit location. They used to have the asparagus festivals here. They were here it was nice and spread out and a lot of fun. They also have paddle boat which is great fun for the family. If you are a photographer there is many places you can go along the nature trails to take awesome pictures. Very beautiful trees and scenic backgrounds. There are also trees you can sit on that have been knocked over that make great family portraits.
