Looks beautiful but it's only open appx memorial day - labor day. It's adjacent to the playground/picnic table pavilion. Would be a great place for toddler's/kids in the summer.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with toddlers and young kids during summer months who want free water play. The park offers great value when everything's working, but equipment failures are common enough to have a backup plan. Perfect for hot days when you need affordable cooling fun.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Only open Memorial Day through Labor Day - verify operating status before visiting
⏰Bring snacks and drinks as food vendors are expensive ($2.50 for corn)
đŸŽŸī¸Expect parking challenges and be prepared to walk from distant spots

“YOU CANT BEAT FREE! lol Cool park with lots of swings, climbing toys for the kids. During summer they have the water park section going for the kiddos which they love. See photos.. Parking is only tough part. But eventually you'll find a spot, or walk a ways..;+)”
