This park is easily one of the nicest in the area. The equipment is designed to encourage exploration and imagination along with pieces for all abilities. The park has several phases in development with the first completed. There is a new splash pad in the works.
The tall slide here can only be accessed by climbing a rope structure and is definitely beyond the ability of younger children. Unfortunately there is not much shade so in the summer the equipment gets hot to the touch. There are two different pole climbing for different ablities. There are two ziplines, one with an ADA accessible swing that allows younger kids to swing and a disk type swing. There is an electronic game that is activated by touching the posts and then you try to tap the lit-up posts as quickly as possible. There are several kinds of swings, a merry-go-round and play huts. There is a hill with several features to help kids climb to the top and slides to go back down. There are several play hammocks.
The playground area has rubber ground which is great. There are many picnic tables throughout the park, a pavilion, and several grills. There are numerous parking spots, to park closest to the playground turn right after crossing the bridge and follow the path back to the parking lot next to the arch entrance. There is not a bathroom at the park except for inside the rec center which is rarely open. There are some porta-potties if you keep going past the pavilion.
This park is great because it encourages creative play. It is pretty easy to watch children, especially from the top of the hill.
Fountains are turned off in late November/early December and turned back on in late March/early April to prevent serious freeze damage.
