The splash pad is amazing. Could use better covered seats for parents but overall is great. The playground equipment is nice but the wood chips are so dangerous for little kids. They can easily get a splinter or stabbed by it. Wish they'd change to rubber ground.

So much fun for a family day. Lots of options on the splash pad, plenty of places to set up a blanket or chairs. There’s also basketball courts, a picnic area and a playground for kids.

Not too much shade but it has awesome water toys and there is usually a snow cone place there to get snacks.

NO RESTROOMS near park or splash-pad! Restroom is all the way on the other side way out of sight to send kids alone. Otherwise everything else is awesome!

Fun place for the family. Great park to dink around and splash in the water. They have a cool little snow cone joint you can get icy drinks. Usually pretty busy in the summer
