During warmer months, families can enjoy the expansive, innovative playground with towering structures and imaginative designs. The nearby splash pad, featuring waterfalls, adds to the fun and is a favorite summer destination for children.
In winter, the park's two-story sledding hill becomes a popular spot for snow-filled adventures, complete with a convenient gradual walkway for easy access.
