Cool park and playground with EIGHT different ways to climb up to the second level! Themed like the woods it’s surrounded by. Two different creative swings and a different sit-n-spin like I’ve never seen before. It has a big enough base for 3-4 small kids to sit on while spinning. There’s also a very scenic wooded area to walk through with paved pathways over to the tennis courts. This park has thee biggest indoor swimming pool ever! It’s HUGE! Cool playground! 👍👍

This massive park is more than a neighborhood or even a regional park, it's a huge opportunity for recreation of all sorts. The park includes a community center with a gymnasium, classrooms and meeting rooms (with a warming kitchen), a year-round pool, playgrounds, sports facilities and nature trails.

I spotted two separate playgrounds, each has a rubberized surface and mulch. The Baseball field appears to be lighted, there are tennis courts and basketball courts. And the park is connected to the Shelley Lake Greenway Trail.

Lots of parking, lots going on here all times of the year!

Took my 4 year old (at the time) here for swimming lessons. Nice staff and clean facilities. Hope we can go back after this COVID craziness is over.

I personally really enjoyed it here because the pools were nice. Also I enjoyed how cheap it was to enter the pools.

Absolutely love this place! The walking trail is so gorgeous, and has a great little playground for kiddos. I go to the pool at least once a week, and have seen the great ball fields all around. We have always had great experiences with staff at the pool, as well as cleanliness inside and out of both buildings.
