Mentioned by 8 visitors
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up quickly during Saturday birthday parties, and shaded seating becomes scarce by mid-morning.
Splash pad runs 10am to 8pm
Water shuts off for 15-minute breaks, and the pad operates only mid-May through October depending on weather.
Excellent for cooling off hot days
The splash pad and two playgrounds let kids alternate between water and playground activities to stay engaged for hours.
Bathroom facilities are limited
Only one bathroom building serves the entire park, and some reviewers reported cleanliness issues, especially on busy weekend afternoons.
Pack supplies for all-day visits
Bring plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, towels, and a blanket since there are no concessions and shade is.
