This park is fabulous. The play area is constructed into a hill and features climbing, sliding, and sand areas. There is an on site cafe serving breakfast, lunch, and coffee. You can meander the park, sit and play, view the Butterfly Wall, and roll down the hill. This is a new park, so the trees have not grown in. There is very little shade, so this is recommended for early morning, cloudy days, or the Fall/Winter.
