The outdoor playgrounds are very nice. This is a nice addition to the community. People with children would love the water park area and playgrounds.

I appreciate the interpretive signs along the walking path providing the history of the park. I love that the trail is accessible, and the further you walk back you find yourself in a wooded area where the trail leaves the pavement, climbing in and around the bluffs. The park has so much to offer including disc golf, picnic areas, playground etc. There is plenty of parking and clean flushing facilities.

The hiking trails are extensive, family friendly and also so so rad! They have the ancient trail which you get to walk through these insane rock formations, it feels so grounding and cool to walk through something thats been here for centuries! They have 2 disc golf courses which is nice so if one course is busy, you have another to play on! Never congested, they have a massive splash pad for summer, ample grounds for picnics, lounging ect.

Great rates too! Staff is super friendly and helpful. They will be back in March, last weekend was the last day of the season. But there is a dock ramp which is open yearly that you can use for personal kayaks or paddle boards. I would definitely recommend coming back in March if you want to rent. Super easy and convenient. Dress to get wet, depending on how you paddle lol. Water sprays and drips from paddles. Also wind sprays the water. So shorts, water shoes or flip flops would be great.

There were probably 10 different games available if you aren't into skating. There were lots of tables and places to sit and leave your stuff while skating. There is a concession stand for drinks and snacks. The rental roller skates were good. There was a disco ball and strobe lighting which gave me flashbacks to my childhood. With the same skating games like red light green light and the limbo. The music was a variety of genres. It was a lot of fun.

Take your yourselves, your kids, and grands, and have fun! Life's short enjoy it! Just don't pee in the pool!

I'd suggest if you want some good hiking and views that you visit the Ancient Forest instead.

It's so surprising that many people don't know about it. Before it was renovated into an art studio, it was a city water treatment plant. Its parking lot used to be a wading pool. There are some cool black and white photos of what it used to look like in front of the restrooms. The space itself is amazing - super spacious and conducive to various forms of art and the required equipment. They have a jewelry making room with individual stations. There is an entire space designated for handweaving with lots of looms and fabric. An entire clay making section also exists with lots of pottery wheels. There is a big open space that's available for events and other workshops with lots of tables and chairs if needed. The magical thing about this place is that you feel creative as soon as you walk in. There's art and pictures displayed throughout the space and as you look at everything, it makes you want to sign up for all the classes they have. The natural light that floods in due to all the windows is refreshing as well. You can go to their website to check out their programming and workshop schedule.
