Wear your bathing suit. It's easy to find. And there's ample free parking out front. Mid week when we stopped by it wasn't very busy. But if I had kids, I'd be here every weekend -- especially in our recent hot weather. First and foremost is the interactive water/splash pad. So many machines spraying water, buckets dumping, etc etc. The three kids there were squealing with joy and excitement. Such fun. There's also a story walk/trail for children with various stops plus a regular walking trail. A covered playground with equipment for kids. A Volleyball sand court; basketball court; grills; picnic areas... all with a large swath of green grass in the middle -- perfect for events/concerts. On the south end is the canal C-14 with a fishing pier. More "waters edge" as in the name. And also for adults, there's a covered area right near the water with all sorts of gym/exercise equipment. Don't know what more you could want except maybe a few more resting benches along the main trail for the older folks... Go check it out. Bring the kids.

You should be aware that there are multiple coyotes that reside inside the forest, so definitely keep your children close. I've seen them on multiple occasions to date. They are typically very shy animals and tend to be timid, but if encountered should be hazed (scared away) to keep their fear of humans.

The whole loop around the park is one mile. What I love about this park that even if it is a hot day you have so much shade from the trees that you will not feel hot and you also feel the breeze from the lake as well. If you would like to rent a shelter if you would like to do birthday or baby shower. You are allowed to ride a bike through the trail but it is narrow and you will have to share the trail with the people that are walking. This park is surrounded by a beautiful lake that some people use to fish. I have noticed that they offer boat rentals but I don't ever see it operational.

I like to walk and now that the weather is great, this little hidden park is great. He trail isn't too long, but it is full of vegetation, you feel like you are lost in the forest. It is located in Shadowood, very near the Ramblewood elementary. There is plenty of parking, a playground, and swings. I got on them and felt like a little girl, so much fun. (You can probably see pictures in my hubby's review lol) and a volleyball court. Also a couple of grill areas. It is very close to me but I never even knew it was there. That is how hidden it is.! Also for all those Pokémon trainers out there, there are a lot of stops two gyms (is why I initially came LOLOL) Overall, it is a great place to brig the kiddos, come to play PokémonGO, or just for some fresh air.
