Great park to take littles. Definitely beats the heat. The Mini pool is next to a splash pad so that if your little doesn't want to be fully immersed in the pool the splash pad is just as fun. Rules for the pool. If your child is below the height restrictions you need to be in the pool with them. No phones or bags allowed in the pool area. Most families park their strollers and gear right outside and go enjoy the pool. Lifeguards are there Definitely bring snacks to enjoy as kids like to go from the pool to the splash pad to the playground.

Lots of seating, clay track, nice place to get your run/jog/walking on. Only downside can be people letting their dogs pee on the turf, nannies/babysitters letting their wards park scooters/bikes/toys on the track.

Nedra my daughter wore an outfit for the pool but the texture of the bathing suit was different so they didn't let her in. And I was upset because they said my daughters swim suit will cause the pool to change color and I told them the bathing suit was not gonna do that. So I'm giving them an 4 stars. Because my daughter was crying because, she couldn't swim. 😡😡
