After having dinner at the pavilion we decided it was a good night for lounging in the park. We looked up to see 2 hot air balloons. The atmosphere is awesome and really enjoy the calm around you.

Huge park with lots of fishing spots, playgrounds, trails, and deer. You actually can't drive or walk through here without seeing a deer, they're everywhere. All of the facilities are really well kept.
