If your wondering where to take your little ones, I highly recommend coming here. There is two parks, one park is gated and 8 different activities some are pretend play. There's a lemonade stand, music stand, theater stand, firefighter stand, a big sand box with digging tools, a big spin toy, and a pirate ship connected to the playground. You can definitely take your young kiddos ages from 18months - 7 years old. One down side is that there is no swings for the babies. There's a picnic table with a huge umbrella for shade.

The other park is for bigger kids, and it's on the other side. We didn't have the chance to go to that one, but we will be definitely...

This looked like a nice park overall. We spent most of our time at the brand new park here (grand opening on August 1, 2018), which has some damage already, unfortunately. In the music section, one of the keys on the keyboard gets stuck, and it looks like a metal rope that held a mallet was cut; it's now rather sharp. The "rolly slide" doesn't roll too well; my son kept getting stuck.

On the bright side, there are some fun areas, including a sandbox, a fire truck, lemonade stand, and merry-go-round.

Finally, there is almost no shade at the new park, so be sure to bring sunscreen and hats, too.

The older park looks fun. We'll have to try...
