This park has 3 playgrounds. One is for smaller children, one is for older kids and one a train themed play area. By the little play area, they have a carousel ($2/rider). The park also has volleyball courts, golf course, miniature golf, skate park, tennis courts, and baseball diamonds by the Forest Park pool. The park is nicely shaded in many areas (trees).

There's volleyball where kids can also play with sand, there's a toddler playground shaped like a train a bit off to the side, and there's also a Carousel and putt putt next to the playground. Needless to say my daughter absolutely loves the Carousel. Definitely a fun park for kids, just don't go during weird off hours because I have noticed shady looking people there at off times instead of typical families with young kids when we go morning or...
