"The park is very nice and clean. I took my family here and I loved how open it was. It included 2 small playgrounds, had a little concession stand, a workout area, and some sprinklers. The pool was also a nice area. They allow free swim from 3-5 on weekdays that is open to the public. Wish we would have known about this place prior. Will definitely be visiting again. The kids loved it."
