- Consider bringing kites for children to enjoy in the expansive park area.

"Our visit here today was really nice this location has a Water Feature for children of all ages and it works very well for a good hour or two depending on how hot it is. The play structure it great for all ages my youngest is 2 and most of she can but yes some is made for the 5 and older ages but still lots of fun and the ground is springy because of the rubber material it makes it great for safe play! The water feature is a 4 out of 5 because the spray cannons don't really operate well but all the other things are really nice and fun for the children. Overall a wonderful park plus it has a g"

"Big park, great for flying kites or just taking a stroll to get some fresh air. It is a perfect place to get your run under the sun where you have a mix of shaded and sunshade area. The playground is small but it is a decent playground for the little ones to run and burn some energy off."

"The spray park is nice but starts too late in the day (11am summer hours) bc it's already pretty hot by then and there's no shade over the water play area. The playground is interesting for the kids and has a nice padded floor."
