Great Park for the kids to run around a lot of open space in the equipment as well maintained. Small area with covered picnic tables available for use as well. Portable bathrooms available nearby as well. Worth a visit and close to downtown!

A great place for bike riding, a picnic, and playground time. We went after some heavy rains and it was flooded but there were still Pat's of the park we could explore and enjoy. We meet really nice people there and will be back once the weather picks up. B
