In addition to the ball diamonds at Citizens Park, the park also offers BMX bicycle ramps for the daredevils, along with other recreational amenities. Citizens is also a very nice place to have a quiet picnic during lunch. Two modular playgrounds for children and three picnic shelters are available for family picnics.

The play structure is older but still in good condition. It has several slides, monkey bars, a rock wall, a tunnel, a tic-tac-toe board, and bars and poles for climbing.
