    Awesome place for kids to explore and play. A great walking track with strengthening stations along the way, choose your route carefully... Also found Ravine pathway. It was beautiful from what the dogs allowed us to see.

    Oh my goodness the kids had a ball here! Lots of climbing, the Merry-Go-Round is enclosed with climbing ropes, great slides and even benches for people to sit while the kids are having wonderful time. Additionally there are picnic tables and a pavilion to actually sit down and eat any food you may have brought.
