There is something for everyone!! Flowers and such for those looking to just relax and watcht hebworld go by. Playgrounds, multiple playgrounds, for all ages. Even one for disabled kids. There is a splash pad there, a train to ride and a disc golf course. Plenty of wide open space for good old walking as well.

This park is great. They have basketball courts, tennis courts, a great playground, lots of shelters, a frisbee golf course, and even a train. The frisbee golf course is what I frequent the most. It's a great course.
