It has a whimsical theme with giant oversized flowers that act as shade! Plus forest inspired play structures to climb. There was also a musical instrument area for kids to explore. I loved the four person see saw which was very unique! The giant sit and spin was fun for the kids too. I loved that this park had features you don't see just an ordinary park. It made this playground more a destination playground as I mentioned. It was worth the drive. I wouldn't drive an hour away for it, but 30 minutes was worth it. It was also very quiet when we went on a Sunday. We easily got a shaded picnic table to eat our lunch we had packed and then hit the playground. The playground was very clean too. The only down side was that the exercise equipment had some broken machines which was unfortunate, but all of the playground equipment was in working order. Both my kids enjoyed the park so it's great for a wide range of ages, even toddlers.

On the Saturday that I visited there were quite a few bicycles coming along the trails. There is easy parking next to a water facility. There are about 20 spots. The day I was here there were there was only a few spots filled, so I don't think you will have any trouble parking. The trails include some paved bicycle trails as well as several more challenging loops. They aren't really very difficult though, so even a beginner hiker will have no problem with them. I took several loops at a very easy pace, while looking and placing some geocaches. It took about 1 hour for about 2 miles. There are lots of great views, especially as you get near the top of several of the loops. There is even a bench to sit on and taken the great vista. Keep in mind that there are no facilities here. That means no water, no restrooms. The trails do not appear to have any markings, although they are so straightforward, I don't think anyone could really get lost.

The park is made up of lush green fields, lovely trees, and play structures for the kiddos. The swings are a plus. And I liked the freenotes harmony musical instruments near the playground. The layout and modest offerings at the park make it ideal for playing sports and picnicking in the grass or at one of several picnic tables on site. No sports facilities or equipment can be found, but there's ample room for kicking a ball around. Though the place isn't huge, there was enough space to go for a run too, with a concrete trail curving through the park. A no-frills, peaceful and inviting setting, and a nice spot to take young ones if you live nearby. No restrooms are available, but I did see a porta potty in the corner.

This also coincides with their farmer's market. I came here last Thursday to catch "Pop Fiction", a cover band. I arrived at 5:40 PM, 20 minutes before the concert, so I walked around to check out the farmer's market. There are food trucks, fruits, veggies, seafood, pastries, and lots more. The concert is at the Amphitheater, which has a couple tiers of lawn area. Early birds take up the back section and set up their tents and tables. We had a few folder chairs, and brought our own food for a little picnic. "Pop Fiction" was high energy and did a good job with songs from the '70's to today. They were a little pitchy at times, but everyone was just having a good time. As the evening progressed, more people came up front to dance or sway. There's no shade on the lawn, so definitely bring sunscreen and hats. The park itself is huge, but I didn't have time to check it all out. We enjoyed the concert and picnic. We'll probably be back for another one before the summer is done.
