"I can’t say enough wonderful things about this park. Playground for both older and younger kids is amazing. Bucket swings for infants / toddlers and regular swings for bigger kids. Full jungle gym type play structures dressed up as the Wild West. Super fun for kids. Padded ground with lots of shade from surrounding woods. Sounds come out if the play structures when you hit a button. A full section of updated picnic tables and more private ones scattered throughout the forests area as well. Wheelchair accessible washrooms. Great parking lots with lots of spaces available. A lot of folks had pic"
