One thing that could be improved is the wildlife children's center needs a major deep clean. It doesn't look like it has ever been cleaned.

There are no shaded areas so plan to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. However, if you end up here right in the middle of the day, don't worry! Your kids will be excited to cool down at the adjacent water park- also free! In between the city and water park there is a nice mostly shaded playground. This was such a fun place to visit! There is a big mall within a 10 min drive so you can make this a day trip!

What a great park! Came here to see what it was all about with my kids. The first thing I noticed…read morewas the big, covered playground. It was full of kids and mine joined in. After the playground, we went to explore more of the park. It's not big but it is clean and beautiful. The views from the platform are pretty too. They have about 3 pavilions and also some exercise equipment along the walkway. We stayed about an hour and if we lived closer we would probably come more often. If we're ever in the area we will visit again.

This park should be free to use but you to pay to use the pavilion and grills that's really sad.read more

So glad some friends told us about this place awhile back when we were talking about places to take the grandkids in the future. But even if you're just a kid at heart, You may want to visit here. 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. This park has a lot of trees, birds, squirrels, iguanas and fish. You leave this park feeling super relaxed.
