The park also has a playground for children and picnic tables for those looking to enjoy a meal outdoors. Fitness enthusiasts can make use of the walking and jogging trails that wind through the park.

Facilities and Rentals

The park includes a recreation center, which may offer additional activities or programs for the community. For those interested in water sports, on-site kayak, paddle-board, and jet ski rentals are available, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding waterways.

George English Park welcomes leashed dogs, but owners are reminded to clean up after their pets and use the provided waste bins.
