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.
