Best for toddlers under 4

Great for family picnics

Arrive early in summer
The playground sits in full sun with limited shaded seating, so morning visits keep kids cooler and secure tables.
Check splash pad before visiting
Water features sometimes fail to operate or run poorly, so call ahead if the splash pad is your main draw.
Watch for fire ants in grass
Ants are present throughout the fields, so keep children in shoes and avoid extended barefoot play in open areas.
