There is a…read moredecent sized parking lot and that was helpful for me to hang out and figure out how to get back to the highway. The park has some covered picnic areas, a nice playground with a soft mulch base, and a walking path next to the lake It's a nice spot and I'd like to spend more time here soon.

Bathrooms are available and clean during my visit. My only complaint is that swings could use fixing up. There is only one baby swing and one handicap accessible swing, the other two swings seem to have been removed, but there are plenty of other things for the kids to do. We had a wonderful time!

I visited a few times in April 2026, the beach wasn't open yet, would like to come back to experience that. There's a disc golf course, play grounds, fishing, etc. The only problem is the bathrooms are all locked. I got a couple miles in walking the beautiful trails, but had to leave to go find a bathroom. Also, I head a family complain that there were some sharp edges/broken pieces on the small playground near the start of the disc golf course. I would probably take little ones to the playground on the other side of the park.

The trail is enclosed by trees so you don't really get much views of the river, but it's a nice trail in the forest. It's paved and wheel chair accessible. Bikes and scooters etc are allowed. There is also access to several mountain biking trails along the path. The trail is mostly shaded, but doesn't get much breeze because of the forest so can be muggy during hot weather. This is one of the best options for walking in the area since the city is not pedestrian friendly. There are emergency beacons along the trail about every 1 mile for safety, and it's a fairly busy trail so I would consider it to be safe to solo joggers or hikers.
