Located in downtown Lake Orion, Children's Park is a major community gathering place and is surrounded with natural beauty as Paint Creek runs directly though the park.
Throughout the year, various community events occur at the park including, the Optimists Club annual rubber ducky race, River Day events each year and concerts in the park during summer months.
The gazebo within Children's Park also hosts a number of events and other performances. In the center of the park boasts two (2) playscapes, one designed for young toddlers and a second designed for children 5-12 years old.
The Park also features several picnic tables located on the periphery of the site and scattered park benches and bike racks. Public, paved parking is located along Anderson Street in the DDA lot which is connected to the park by a pedestrian bridge spanning Paint Creek on the southwest side of the park.
All of the Village's facilities have accessibility ratings of 2, 3, or 4, with the exception of Unger Park which carries an accessibility ranking of 1 due to the grade change and lack of paved surfaces to access any features within the park.
While most of the recreation facilities include elements that are handicapped accessible, many of the routes to reach such facilities are lacking in compliance.
