My kids have learned self defense techniques, such as how to physically get away from strangers and what to do if they are being bullied. They are learning skills to help protect themselves, and I see that they have gained confidence in themselves. They know they can handle themselves if they need to. It's a really positive and fun environment!

Any TaeKwonDo master at his rank should be registered with the Kukkiwon TaeKwonDo Headquarters. He is very unprofessional and the experience we had going there for years was that He preys on female students romantically and grooms them. He has done this for a very long time, dating back to when he opened his school back in the 90's. There are many victims that have reached out. This also includes my parent. Please beware and learn from the unprofessional experience we had.

Loved our weekend trip to this park! When we arrived, the parking lot was very busy and there were…read morevery few spots left, even though it's a pretty sizeable lot for a park. We quickly learned this was because there was a special event going on (the Sankofa celebration) inside the center, with vendor tables and a couple of food trucks and even some crafting activities. So we got to experience that on top of the rest of the park's great amenities! The center is sleek and modern inside. LOTS of toilets (single occupant, all-gender), lots of coat hangars, multiple water bottle refill stations. The ground level has some cool reptile/amphibians behind glass you can ogle, as well as interactive informational displays (great for kids and adults, imo). Downstairs they have the rental booth for gear and educational rooms (they had a falcon demo in one while we were there!). Beside the center is an awesome multilevel playground, very fun. As well as a splash pad (for non-winter months) and an elevated boardwalk. The most nearby attraction is obviously the dam, which has an impressive spillway that's mesmerizing to watch. You can even walk across it to go over the river to the park on the other side. Apparently this spot is popular with fishers (though I don't have much knowledge on that subject). There are also trails that can be explored. Paved routes good for all recreational uses, as well as further out hiking paths that are just dirt. It'd be great to come back out again sometime and explore more. Across the street it seemed there was even archery!

There is also a basketball court, volleyball court, 3 pavilions, an open field and indoor bathrooms. If those are locked, there are porta potties. There is also a small garden with benches.
