A huge green space right along the lake. In summer it is bustling with people who have come to go to the beach, relax in the park or go for a nice walk, run or bike ride. It is a great place to run because the path is right along the lake so you're treated to nice views and you can cover a decent distance for your workout.
It's a perfect park for families - between the dry park with a zip line, the huge spray park, the kid-friendly beach, the wibit the indoor bathrooms and the food trucks, this is an amazing day for parents & kids alike.
