I enjoy this park the scenery, the family friendlyenvironment, safety, I saw police patrol frequently. The bathrooms are stocked properly and are extremy clean. there is a calm serenity every time we've gone there. Although I feel they need more bathrooms in a few locations because of the width of the park. The dog park is great also

These photos in the area between the soccer field and the disc golf area that goes down to the fishing dock on the river. My dog likes to go there instead of the dog park. Go figure. I like it, too.

This is a great place for kids, pets, and adults. The playground is nice with a swing set, slides, climbing areas, and monkey bars. Bathrooms and covered tables are located right next to playground in the parking lot area. There are 2 dog parks adjacent to the playground for small and large dogs. The small dogs bark a lot and the larger dogs could sometimes be rowdy. Some may jump on you. The owners sometimes allow it so be cautious, and owners please handle your pets. The sidewalks are nice for walks and there is an 18 hole disc golf course area that is fun and challenging. Bring and exchange books at the free library stands throughout the park. Overall, this is a great place to see nature and to get exercise.
