By far, this is one of the greatest park we have been to. My kids, particularly love, love the splash pad. Even though it’s smaller than other splash pads there’s a lot of water flow so it’s easy to get soaking wet in a matter of minutes. Completely kid approved and this Mama loved hanging out with my kid in that splash pad. We both got soaking wet. The bathrooms were clean and they were family bathrooms as well. There’s a walking trail with big ceramic sheep, and it is paved so perfect for strollers and wagons. There’s also picnic benches in plenty of places to stay in the shade. This place was amazing.

My kids loved this place! It isn't too big or too small, it's perfect with different activities for all tastes. A regular playground for kids with high energy, a splash pad to cool off, and a little trail for them to dry off while walking. Even this place has a climbing rock for the most adventurous kids. I really liked it and will be coming back.

The water splash park would keep the kids occupied and the playground beside is a plus. Minus point The restroom was a lil dirty as there were many people. Our kids had great fun! There's a dog park as well.
Best to go, Sunday morning

Great park with age appropriate players. Trail for walking and a field to play in, but no fence around the whole area, leaving many ways for little children to wander off. This is not a park you just sit on a bench and let children roam without repeatedly looking for them.

This place is legit for kids (mine are toddlers). The splash pad is great, the playground is well kept, and the climbing wall is cool too. Plus, there are a few fields and a flower garden, which are really nice. There is some shade, but it can get warm on hot days. Bring water.
