Spending time with family and friends is always a blast! There are so many fun things to do here. You can go fishing, watch animals, and even play on the playgrounds. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Lots to do here from blanket picnics, pavilion rentals for parties, countless picnic tables and a large playground. Tons of space to play Frisbee. Plus the main attraction is a farm with many animals. They have food to feed the animals, bring quarters or they do have one change machine in the big barn. They have goats, chickens, turkeys, cows & bulls, pigs, horses and more. A couple of stocked ponds for fishing too.

Free Park. Lots of animals. Kids always have fun. Picnic, playground, fishing. The barn has a life size simulation dairy cow with rubber utters for milking.

There are a couple of small lakes that are pretty, but they were starting to develop algae when we last visited in June 2024. The animal farm is a cute part of the park, and looks like fun for little kids.

I love this place. I grew up here pretty much. So when I come back into town I always visit. I love that you can pet all the animals
