Visit in summer for splash pad
The water feature operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is consistently praised as the park's best.
Arrive midday on weekdays
The park is typically quiet during midday visits, making it easier to supervise children and find shaded seating.
Supervise toddlers on splash equipment
The splash pad animals are made of hard material and can be slippery when wet, creating fall hazards.
Bring shade for non-summer visits
The shaded playground equipment helps in summer, but open grass areas lack tree cover during hot months.
Check splash pad operation beforehand
At least one visitor found the splash pad closed despite posted hours indicating it should be open.
