Went fishing in the lake located near the center of the park. The park was somewhat busy and there were plenty of other people fishing as well, but all keeping a friendly distance. The park is huge, as it has amenities for baseball, sand volleyball, pickleball, and softball. There are also bathrooms throughout the park as well as ample parking.

We have been going to this park for many years and it just gets better and better. The kids use to play on the playground. My husband use to race his R/C boats at the pond. We have had many days and nights of family time here. We love the park.
