For as pretty & as big as the whole park is itself I think they could really upgrade it to make people want to take their kids there even more esp over other parks in town. The splash pad is also pretty sad, they need something more like Greenfield. I’d rather drive out of town. The kids get super board super fast. Other than that the walking path is nice and dog...
