There is a place where kids can play in the water that is open for a decent chunk of the summer.

It is located right off highway 84 at Poage road. The trail is made of cinder and about .33 of a mile. There is a slight incline and decline. In comparison to the hewitt park nearby I like that boy have a circle track and you have an idea of how far the circle track is. However recovering from surgery I like the hewitt park a little better as the concrete trail helps my legs remain steady as I recover from surgery. I cannot afford a fall. One thing originally I liked better about poage park was that the circle was half the distance and there were many benches to sit on till I got my endurance up. This park also has a small gazebo. I like this park an am happy w the restroom facilities I just wish things were a bit more spread out but the park is a bit too small for that. It I a great park for me though as I continue to recover from surgery.

There is a gazebo. My wife and I thought about getting married here but decided on another venue.

There's also a pretty cool slide and one of those "walk on floats across the water" things. My kids stayed for almost 2 hours and the only reason we left then is because they were starting to turn red from their sunscreen wearing off. The lifeguards were also great. We have gotten so used to overbearing lifeguards this summer who blow their whistles and yell nonstop and this was a nice change of pace. They were very patient with everyone, using normal speaking voices and only using whistles if someone was doing something dangerous. It made for a very relaxing and fun experience. The entry for kids is about standard ($3 each) and a bit higher than usual for adults ($6 each) but one of the benefits of this is that the place wasn't very crowded so we were able to have a good time without feeling cramped. We'll definitely be coming back again, kids and adults had a great time.

Cons - bring your wallet. $40 for a thirty minute lesson seems extreme. Our last lesson was with the facility manager, and no joke, he was on his phone for the majority of my niece's lesson. We were there on time, but our lesson started five minutes late as he was out in the main area talking with people. During our 25 minute lesson, he took two phone calls and checked his texts 7-8 times. So basically every 3-4 minutes he was on his phone. For $40 you think he could give us full attention for 30 minutes. Twice he said "good job" to my niece when she completed the action she was practicing - when he was looking at his phone and not even watching what she was doing. We had another lesson with a different instructor and he was super good. Focused on my niece the entire time. Actually gave her 45 minutes as when our lesson was up, he said he didn't have any more for the day, so he gave her some extra attention. A-plus for that due. Great facility. Some really great and friendly staff. And some great instructors. But if you are going to charge $40 for a thirty minute lesson, you should give that student a full 30 minute lesson.

There is a gazebo see my pic and a good sized bbq pit. There is also a spring a short walking trail as well as the rest of Cameron park which is close by. I liked that it was peaceful. It is a bit off and out of the way from the rest of the park. So it wasn't that crowded on a Friday summer night as perhaps other parts of the Cameron system might be on that day. There are some insane frisbee golf holes in the park again can see pics. There were some children playing in the water of the spring. There were at least four cement benches that were comfy. I used one while waiting for my wife as I really couldn't get up some of those very steep hills. It was a great pocket park and a nice place for a picnic. There are a few out of the way plCes to go there for a more private picnic. Great little place.
