We Love this place and thank you for it ALL being free! It is everything you want for a great family outing. I will say you do have to keep close eye on kiddos, because it is such a big outdoor space. ALSO i recommended bringing your own shade along with all the other outdoor necessities/ essentials for a water/splash pad, hot metal and plastic fun playground, bathrooms and I think concessions ( not 💯 on that) Have a great time! Please comment back and tell me about YOUR experience 🤗🌈

This is such a great park! It's HUGE w/lots of different areas/activities for both little & bigger kids, as well as adults! There's 3 large pavilions that can be rented out for events (prices are CRAZY high, though), another covered area w/picnic tables, a large 'spray-ground' w/variety of water features (cold water that feels amazing in the summer heat 🥵), surprisingly big restroom facilities, a big playground that's fully accessible to accommodate wheelchair/other needs (including different types of swings), 3 soccer fields, an in-line hockey rink/basketball court, tennis or pickleball courts (I'm not sure which, lol), some kind of field w/artificial turf, a smaller playground area near the athletic fields, & a mile or 2 of paved walking trail along Briargate. There's 2 or 3 parking lots, as well. We've only been to this park a handful of times so far, but it's been pretty packed every time. It's a very nice area w/more than enough to do! (The water fountain playground area does shut down a couple times a day, from like 12:00p.m. to 12:30p.m. I think & again a little more into the afternoon - I don't remember if there was an additional time the water turns off in the a.m. or not..) This is such a fun, unique park - if you've got kids, definitely take them! You'll all have a blast! 😎

Hard to believe this is a free public park! So incredibly nice and worth the drive. Bring swimsuits so your kids can play in the splash pad area. I did not plan ahead with swimsuits so they played in regular clothes. Fun day all around

Love this park! We played for 4 hours on the playground and at the splash pad and the kids never got bored! The only drawback is the bathrooms could be a tad cleaner, and have soap by the sinks.

Fun park with great views. The playground has tons of nice obstacles our kids loved. There is also a splash pad and a big field. Few pavilions with tables and sun coverage. Would definitely go again!
