What people say
"Love the park, I donβt check it out enough. Lots of fun areas for play and kids playground, there are pavilions for bbq and picnic/party events. The access to water is beautiful and a wonderful spot for a photo. This visit I was a bit disturbed by the swarm of midges that came after me and my dog, but otherwise lovely."
"Nice 1/2 mile walk with a lake view. Even in December. It is a public park with shelters, play equipment and a splash pad. A great amenity for locals and visitors alike."
"Went here with a friend for our evening walk. It's a beautiful park with lots of huge old growth trees. There are two pavilions for parties and standard playground equipment. The beach is lovely for rock hunting. The walking loop is beautiful, weaving through the best parts of the park. Lots of fat friendly stray cats here, as they probably get fed by visitors to the park. The worst part was all the goose poop lol"
"Always a great place to visit. Terrific walking area... What for geese droppings! Nice and clean water pad when operating. They have 2 shelters that can be rented out. Come see how far the water has dropped. 11/12/25"
