What a great concept and place to meet up. We were meeting up with a family to see about possible adoption for our dog to find a playmate. Being a private area to let them decide on each other. It was a great place and environment. Would highly highly recommend this for families and meet ups.

Great little gem hidden within the Town Center shopping plaza. Perfect for a little break while shopping to reconnect with nature and get some fresh air. The coy and turtle pond are stocked providing entertainment for the little ones and a mental break for everyone else. Located in the middle of the shopping plaza this place provides a great location for meeting your friends. The plants, trees, wishing pond and fountains also provide a great place to take group photos. There are plenty of chairs, benches, and other sitting areas to provide a moment to rest and relax. There is even a water fountain to quench your thirst. After sitting here for thirty minutes I noticed this place always had small groups of people laughing and taking photos. The only downfall is that there is very little canopy cover to protect from the sun. As long as it’s overcast then it’s perfect but during the summer the heat may become unbearable. Make sure you bring a water bottle to fill up.

Very nice. The State Bank you can feed the ducks and watch the family. No one bothers you, Its a very friendly environment. I picked up a few cans and trash away from the Park area because I do not like people who litter. That's the only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars. It's always a few bad apples but there was no problem to pick up cast of my son doesn't see it. I know my child will start picking up other people's trash. I taught him well but there shouldn't be trash on the playground. Period😞🧐
