The complete list of amenities includes a skate park, basketball courts, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, frisbee golf, soccer fields, baseball fields, a petting zoo, 4 playgrounds, an RC Crawler course, walking trails, a lake, and a gazebo. They don't have this listed, but it's a gaga ball pit.

This is the coolest part of the park. I haven't seen an RC Crawler Course anywhere else around here. RC rock crawlers are radio-controlled rigs ready for an off-road adventure down the trails, over rocks, through the mud, and across the grass.
