We are new to the area and this was just a real Gem of a park! We really enjoyed the various jungle gyms and playground areas including the splash pad. The splash pad is not huge but it's very well maintained and clean. There's a lot of nice picnicking areas in the general vicinity of the splash pad there's also a great little bridge where there's tons of waterfowl that you can feed. We did the paddle boats as well. We also observed a really nice basketball court, dog park, disc golf course with lots of participants using the course as we were there. It's just a beautiful park! It's on a beautiful Lake where you can also fish.

Great park with many ducks. It also has a play area for kids and plenty of free parking. It seems there is fishing during the non winter season.
