Guide

Good to know

Good for a picnic
Picnic facilities on site — room to sit and eat near the play area.
Official listing
Great for extended visits
The park is massive with multiple lakes, river access, and miles of paved trails to explore beyond the playground itself.
Playground equipment needs inspection
One reviewer reported a swing broke under an adult's weight, suggesting some equipment may be worn or unsafe for children.
Bring supplies for outdoor comfort
Pack hand sanitizer, as outhouses are the primary restroom facilities, and expect flies and wasps around food areas.
Check event calendar before visiting
The park hosts frequent events like the county fair, fireworks shows, and concerts that affect parking and crowding.
Avoid during pesticide spraying
On warm days, grounds maintenance may spray herbicide close to where families are playing.
