This 25-acre park has biking trails, lake views and plenty of green grass for lounging or playing catch. Summertime fun includes Splash Playground, a free water park with water features, slides and sand play--all in only two inches of water. Perfect for kids of all ages, and umbrellas provide shade for parents. A learning tool as well, Splash Playground demonstrates the cycle of water use, with their state-of-the-art collection and recirculation system.
