Such a delightful little place. My daughter and I were shopping next to the cafe and noticed it and decided to stop in for lunch and coffee. The bacon, cream cheese, jalapeno jelly grilled sandwich was scrumptious and the mocha iced latte hit the spot. The service was lovely and the atmosphere was fun. I am looking forward to returning soon.

Really a great park, especially if you live in crystal Flatts across the street. Could use seating and water inside the gates but not bad. My only issue is unattended children wandering in. If your dog doesn't like kids, be prepared to leave on busy days.

Beautiful big park! I thought the sculpture part was the highlight when researching, but it was only a taste of a larger park - there is a big modern playground, tennis & basketball courts, lots of green space, a creek, pool, all in a cute neighborhood. We could've spent hours here!

We enjoyed a wonderful walk here the other day on their paved and soft trails. The playground looks amazing and they have extensive ball fields. The park is clean, well signed and under construction as they expand the trails. I can’t wait to see what you’ve done when we come back next year.
