This board is cool, you spin it and the beads go flying

The gravity rail is super fun and the only other one in town is at Rayburn Park in Crestwood. 

The parking lot is large enough to accommodate a lot of families

This used to be a small creek here but they cleared all the brush and filled it in with rock.
