"Great place for kids, adults and dogs. Playground for kids and they walk and run through various waters, a large open area to run , jog or walk your dogs, and clean, well kept bathrooms. There are eateries nearby and the whole place is edged by the beautiful river. There are tile signs that explain the life forces under water. Beautiful, welcoming area."
