This is a gem of a park. The playground is a kids dream! There is a beautiful trail that circles the lovely lake. You can rent paddle boats and circle the lake or stop on the island in the middle of the lake and explore. In the summer, there are plenty of Picnic benches, bbq grills, and even rental pavilions to host fun functions. In the winter, this area is known for its cross-country ski trails. One can get lessons and rentals at the chalet.

What a fantastic play area. Something, and not just one, for all the age groups. I was able to bring my 5 kids here and they had a blast for a few hours. It does get crowded, so you'll need to be fine with that
