This town park has it all! A playground, splash pad, mini golf (small fee), a fishing pond, walking paths, and places to picnic. In the summer, there is a weekly free concert series on Monday evenings.

Beautiful looking park with lots of different activities to do while you are there. They have a pond for fishing, swings, playground, water pad, volleyball, walking paths, pavilions and picnic tables. Everything looked to be in great clean working order. Cannot wait to watch a concert here this summer. Keep up the great work.
