Really like this park for walking or running! Double wide paved walk ways that let you pass other walkers or be passed conveniently. Large parking at Squirrel Park, or a few parking spots on John St in Matthew's. Restrooms and a large playground for kids. Some picnic tables around and a large covered area with many tables that can be rented for an occasion. Disc golf course and a lake that some people fish in. Watch out for the geese! Overall, we really enjoyed this park...
