We stopped to have a walk in a different place yesterday. There is access to the trails here and we were just curious where they went. What a great spot!!! The trails are extensive and the parks are so cute! This one is handicapped friendly and one of the coolest parks ever!! We love inclusivity! I had a blast playing while husband was answering some with emails. lol The zipline type thing was my favorite! So smooth and easy. Except stopping. That was hard. lol When I was a little kid my dad hung a barge rope from a huge tree in our backyard And put a giant knot in the bottom of the rope. Then he built a platform for me to jump off. I spent hours on that thing and this little piece of playground equipment made me feel 8 years old again. I can’t wait to take the Littles in my life back there! And there are restrooms too!

Beautiful walk with plenty of shade. Nice long trail, awesome playground and water park to cool off. Wish there were more trees surrounding the actual field/grassy areas, but was still a great spot for a picnic! Definitely will be back!!

Kids had a lot of fun, lots of seating for parents. Splash pad is open but it is on a timer. Every hour it turns off for 15 minutes. Water shuts off at 7pm.

This is one of the coolest, most unique parks I've seen in this area. There are musical activities built into the park, like a piano that's motion activated at the entrance. A splash pad that's big enough for several kids to enjoy. And a decent size playground close to some trails. I'm surprised this place isn't more packed, definitely a hidden gem in the area.
