Take my dog here often and sometimes get on the swings with my sister. The animals around the little pond here create a wonderful ambient soundtrack and it's a short walk to get food after. Good spot to relax for a short trip, quick walk...Read More

Great renovation. I've been going to this park since I was a child. They added trails around and through the park a fishing dock and a few private looking pick nick areas. Trying to keep much of the orginal forestry!

Such a beautiful neighborhood park, with a new playground! The restrooms were closed when we visited, maybe because it's later in the year. We'll definitely be back!

This park is not huge, but it has a swing set and small playground, four or five picnic tables, a large field for dogs to romp around on, and is generally a beautiful place overlooking a small pond and sort of up on a hill....Read More

I used to fish that lake with my Grampa probably in around 1950 or 51. Was and still is a beautiful park and lake. There used to be a huge amount of snapping turtles in those days. Wonderful memories. Enjoy.

I enjoy walking around this little park that is tucked away in Beaverdale. I watched turtle feed on a small dead fish while meandering my way around the pond/lake. People fish there too, so that's a nice added touch to the scenery.

Beautiful newly rebuilt park. Saw bullfrogs, dragonflies, and trash. I picked up the trash and deposited it in a close by trashcan. Please do the same when there.

Great park, still a work in progress and it's just been installed, but great equipment and trail around the pond as well as tennis/pickleball courts!

My pup, Daphne, loves visiting Witmer Park. It is in the middle of ongoing renovations, and I am looking forward to seeing the end-product. I think it's supposed to be done sometime spring/summer 2020.

Nice quiet park nestled by trees and surrounding homes. Very pleasant and the variety of swings is nice
I always see people walking their dogs on the surrounding paths and sitting under the shelter with their owners

Played pickle ball with a good friend and found the park was so beautiful with amazing, mature pine trees, excellent natural grass and wildflower areas - lovely!

Nice park, I love going there with my grandson. We walk around the pond and talk about the different animals that live there.
