We took the family here snow tubing in January. It was really fun. The fact you don’t need to carry your tube up the hill is a game changer. Just get on the belt, and it takes you up. Check it out!

I used to live in this neighborhood; completely changed for the worst. Kids vape and carry around hatchets and bb guns, got jumped here last summer because I didn't push that loud creaky spinning thing for some eight year old.

Very small dog park with pea gravel substrate. Feels like its more for the apartment complex than the general public. Make sure to have your dog on a leash, when entering/exiting. The cars can really fly out of the parking garage under the apartment complex.
