gilly's park

There isn't much to this place. It is something if you have nothing to do, but definitely don't go out of your way for this.Besides it being small with no trails and no benches, there is a highway behind it and the traffic noise ruins any sense of natural solitude that the ponds may otherwise offer.

Driven by here a couple of times, but had our daughter's 4th bday party here in February. There are two "lakes" - one is stocked w/ fish. Fishing is allowed, but only w/ license. There is a trail that wraps around larger lake, taking you by smaller lake. Sits right off hwy 220, fence and wood area dividing the two, so traffic noise is constant, but not too bad. There is a covered pavilion w/ 2 or 3 picnic tables by small gravel parking lot and one picnic table by larger lake. No restrooms. Gravel lot allows for, probably, no more than 4 vehicles. Great view w/out having to go far from home!
