Riley Park (and the Annex across the street) provides nearly all you could want from a park. The main park has activities including baseball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, a hiking trail for walkers, and a playground for kids. There is also a gazebo and a large shelter/pavilion and several landscaped gardens. The park lies on the south side of Deer Creek and has an elevated boardwalk that leads to a footbridge that crosses over.
There is plenty of parking and quite a bit of shade along the walking trail.
Across the highway is the Riley Park Annex. Although it practically doubles the park size, it is less developed. It does have a small playground (swings) and a skate park, but most of the area is set aside for soccer fields.
There isn't a water feature here, so on days like my visit, the park was pretty empty due to the heat/humidity.
And be careful pulling out onto the highway since visibility is not the greatest for seeing oncoming traffic if you are crossing the road.
