This park is fantastic. My family and I go there all the time and we're never disappointed. It's a great place to go on a bike ride or just relax with your friends.

Went to the JB Blast.It in my opinion was good.But not as good as previous years. The Barracks. Is a great tribute to our military. Its also a reminder of our history. I recommend a visit if this is what you are interested in. Also, The Sherman tank is cool.
