Rocks Riverside Park is a great place to visit year-round. It has a spacious playground, plenty of shady spots, BBQ facilities, and lots of trees that make it perfect for a relaxing day out. Kids love the open space and activities, and it’s ideal for family gatherings or casual weekend outings. Highly recommended! Beautiful park with something for everyone! Highly recommended!

Great place for family bbqs(takes forever though) plenty of shaded areas for parties. Lots of paths for walking, running or kiddies riding their bikes. There's a kiosk there and a water park that is opening up in December. There's a big jumping pillow for the kids to enjoy. The river runs along the park as well. Great day out.
