This was a very clean park. My oldest boy and I stopped in on a recent trip to stretch our legs. Great walking trails, bike trails, fishing. We found 3 playgrounds, all very nicely maintained. We will be back when we are in the area!

The parks were clean, and there's TONS to do. Loads of different parks for kids to play on. If you want to walk a trail, there's miles of it and every inch is brightly lit by motion activated light poles, and the layout actually makes sense. It's easy to get in and out. If you want to skate or bike, there are course's to run. There's a splash pad if it's hot, and places to fish too. Plenty of fun for everyone, and it's all completely free.

This park’s walking trail is designed surrounding the reservoir. Good place for everybody specially for families with kids. Swimming is not allowed but kayaking and boats are allowed.

Beautiful park with great walking trails. Plenty of covered pavilions for events. There are several playground areas for the kids and docks to fish.
