Great dog park with separate areas
Both large and small dog sections are spacious, well-maintained, cleaned weekly, and include water bowls and waste bags.
Ideal for toddlers and young children
The splash pad opens at 10am daily, playground equipment is designed for smaller kids, and multiple reviewers praised.
Arrive early on hot weekends
The parking lot and facilities get surprisingly busy, especially during peak summer days when families seek relief from heat.
Check splash pad status in advance
The splash pad is frequently closed or not operational, so call ahead before making a trip specifically for water play.
Bring insect repellent for evenings
Mosquitoes can be severe enough to ruin visits, with reviewers reporting unusually bad bites, particularly later in the day.
