Large inclusive playground for kids of all ages and abilities. Kids love the splash area and there’s a nice set up for parents to sit while kids play. There are also basketball hoops of all different heights and a little reading garden.

Beautiful park and has something for everyone. There's a playground, splash pad, skate park, exercise area, walking trails, a dog park, and a picnic pavilion. The park is clean and well maintained. This has been our family's favorite place to go since our son was very little.

So came for the strawberry festival thing going on today and most of the things are are pretty fun and or yummy. Only thing is everything is really pricy for the most part. There are a few things that were actually decent as far as pricing goes but everything else is expensive and you should make sure you have a bunch of money when coming here.

Tranquil and beautiful park with trails and a wonderful two level playground for the kids. Plenty of parking and lots of space for kids. One of our favorite spots to visit when the weather is nice!
