  • 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.
