A great space for my little one to play. Make sure to stop by Crepes in the Park and get some fresh lemonade and a snack !
There are so many discrete areas of the park : a nature area with balancing logs and wood chips ; baseball fields and tennis courts ; a large field to run around in; and a playground with a splash pad.
Great for all different athletes, over 15 acres! Park has a fitness center , indoor swimming pool for the public along with various types of sports fields which can be enjoyed all year round.
The gazebo is very ornate, but if you can't get a seat there, you'll be eating your picnic in the mud.
