Absolutely wonderful place to go to walk, fish, jog, picnic, or whatever else you outdoor heart desires.

My family enjoyed a long walk through Elk Creek MetroPark. Plenty of flowers and tree varieties to see. Red-winged blackbirds, Towhees, and other bird varieties, as well. The path is fairly smooth and the walk features minor hills. The depths of the park is so peaceful. It's secludedness seems to keep the trails from being too busy. Several shelters dot the way. Beautiful ponds with ducks and benches to just sit and enjoy the quiet. I highly recommend a good walk here.

The Meadow Ridge area of Elk Creek Park is now a naturalized area that used to be Weatherwax Golf Course. With gentle rolling slopes this meadow has a lush growth of native plants and trees and wildlife and birds that call this habitat home.

Walking the paths at Elk Creek is like stepping onto the pages of a watercolor. Fields of goldenrod and amber wheat taller than your head, butterflies and bees flitting around, a rustic barn, and several idyllic little ponds. I’m not sure it will be so pretty once everything begins to die off for the winter, but right now it is all rather dreamy. Most of the paths are paved, which means easy walking with a stroller (yay!) and handicapped accessibility. The only things missing are some more signage on the trails—there were a couple of junctions where we weren’t sure which way to go—and maybe some grills near the picnic shelter. But this is definitely a park we will be frequenting.

Beautiful, every time I come here! The trails are great, too!

Great park to ride bikes, walk and just enjoy some peace and serenity. This is an old gold course so you have mostly paved paths with occasional gravel. There are some ups and downs and it is pretty windy so not a place to go for performance biking just leisurely stroll. They do also offer a few catch and release fishing ponds and quite a few places to eat at picnic tables. Overall a great place to spend some relaxing outdoor time.

Such a beautiful park. We are fortunate to have these great metroparks in our area! We've only been here twice. Today we (and our beagle) took the 2 mile Twin Lakes trail. It was a fantastic walk. Definitely 5 stars!

One of my favorite hidden local gems. Beautiful scenery, paths long enough to pick and chose your distance. It used to be an old golf course so you’re walking along the golf cart path most of the time. A lot of wildlife and beautiful wildflowers, not much shade on super hot days. Only complaint is to look at for people with their dogs off leash. It tends not to be very busy so people will let their dogs run, even ones who are not trained and don’t listen. No restrooms but a porta potty is available.

Great place to take the doggos, I'm 50-50 on the asphalt cart paths though; tough on the feet compared to turf but preferable after a day or two of rain. So? At least two parks are the solution..

Such a poor use of public funds/ land. Weather wax was always a beautiful piece of land when it was a golf course and one that was enjoyed by thousands of people from ages 6–86 each week. Now it is dilapidated park that is enjoyed by only a few people a day. Weatherwax was once a proud piece of The City of Middletown—- so sad that a few people with a lack of vision and those looking for a quick govt payout were able to profit of this poor decision.
