The Kiwanis Family Park has a playground and splash pad, with tables and benches for families to use. The bathrooms are clean and garbage is disposed of regularly. There’s also ample parking. We visited this park one Saturday in June after lunch. It was really hot and humid plus a lot of families were also there to beat the summer heat. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the splash pad. We didn’t go to the playground because it was hot. There were still places that we have not explored, like the picnic grounds near the playground and splash pad. Bring your kids here!

Family place to let the kids run around. The area is very clean. There is a splash pad that is open during the warmer months. The surface of the playground is super soft, play equipment is in good repair. There are also walk trails to explore and open fields to throw around a ball. It's a bit far from where we live but it's definitely worth the visit.

Great splash pad and walking area. The playground itself is nice and has a decent amount of play equipment, but it desperately needs more shade to be provided. The picnic shelters always seem to be in high demand. I have seen several wedding receptions in the big shelter and we even looked into renting the gazebo for my kids 4th Birthday, but ultimately held it at home as the gazebo has no power and the end of June is a hot hot time to not have any fans going. Lovely area all around.

Great place to stay fit and walk your dog. Get away from the world for a while. It's wonderful to see how many improvements have been made since it first opened. Kids will love the play area which includes a splash park during the warmer months. Make sure you keep your eyes on your children at all times. Law enforcement is normally close by even if you don't see them. Be smart always.

Loved how this park has different kind of play space, also has two big swings for older kids, has musical " instruments " big green space, big shaded shelters (I saw 2 nit sure if there are more) the other side of the park has a bog splash pad. My son's favorite part was the "treadmill" for kids. He spent most of the time running there.
