Great place for families and dogs. Swings, slides and swings for babies and kids. It's right on Lake George for fishing, kayaks and small boats however NO swimming. Has a bridge over the dam and lots of geese, ducks,seagulls, and at times other beautiful birds. Has several picnic tables, some benches,and a bandstand. They are redoing about 1/2 of the park closest to Chase Bank. At this time you can't fish or sit in the gabezo at this time. During the summer months, they have an exercise class, festival in the park, bands, dancing, movies, a TERRIFIC 4th of July parade down Lake Park Ave.,and a FANTASTIC fireworks display. There are weddings and other celebrations, bathrooms and a community center. We love it there and so does our small and very friendly dog, Cuddles. Please leash your animal friends and also be sure to pick up after them. Call Hobart police department for info. DO NOT call 911! ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO...
