This is a brand new park that was renovated in 2018. There are 2 playgrounds, one for kids under 5 and one for kids over 5, and huge pavilion, and a basketball court.

The playground for younger kids has some rocking horses, 2 baby swings, and a play structure. There are slides and some bars and poles here.

Horse shoe pits

The playground for older kids features 4 sling swings, a merry-go-round, a lion boulder, and a huge play structure.

The play structure has slides, pretend windows, a steering wheel, and lots of bars and poles.

Not sure if you can see, but there is trash all over the ground here. It makes me sad to think the city invested in this nice new playground and people are just throwing trash all over the place. There's a trash can close by that you can't see.

Poor little free library got destroyed.

What an amazing park and playground! The gazebo and lake are visible when you first enter, and it's breathtaking. I bet a lot of people take photos in this spot.

 The lake is fully stocked with channel catfish, trout, largemouth bass.

 The restrooms are new and clean

 The playground is enormous with lots of different things to do. 

 The big play structure has different slides, a bridge, and tons of bars and poles.

 They have a balance beam that bounces where you see the white areas in the middle

They have 3 segments of a dragon, my kids loved that

This is the playground for 2-5 year olds, it has pretend windows, a bridge, climbing wall, bubble window, maze board, steering wheel, and speakers. Right next to it is a pirate ship. 

 Spiderweb climber

Boulder to climb on

 They have 2 baby swings, 2 sling swings, and a hippo you can climb on.

 There are several rock formations that kids can climb on.

This playground is definitely worth the drive!
