The good, the bad, and the buggy, a short review of the park.
The good thing about this park is the great play area where kids can get wet and cool off during play and all designed with safety in mind.
The bad thing about this park is "the walking paths" mentioned above are very short and require several laps to get in a mile. One of the paths goes around the "Great Lawn" and they had a big event when I went so I didn't check it out but it looked like about 1/4 mile per lap. The other path around the pond was completely unused. It was a nice little paved path but 5 laps = almost a mile so for distance somewhere else might be better unless you want to take a walk by the splash pad to keep cool.
The buggy I’m a bug’s favorite chew toy so how much did they love me? They left me alone.
