Echo Lake Park – Union County Parks & Playgrounds
3 Reasons my Family Loves Echo Lake Park
- Echo Lake Park is host to many county run events, namely a summer concert series and the fall Pumpkin Sail, and winter sledding. It’s a hub for the Union County area -people as well as dogs! It includes a large county maintained dog park with separate space for large or small dogs (children under 8 not allowed inside).
- The lake provides a gorgeous background for a brisk walk on the paved path that runs along the water. There are benches along the way to take a break, and a snack stand at the pedal boat dock. Tired of walking? Rent a boat for $10/hour.
- There’s of course a playground structure for little ones to explore but a little further down the park you’ll find huge hills – which my children were happy to roll down. But be sure to venture to the top of the hill to pay tribute at the Union County September 11 Memorial.
