Entertainment & Activities

We love to swim here! Just bring a padlock & towel, and entry is free. We usually go at off-hours to avoid the line, but it moves pretty quickly. Great sprinkler park next door for little ones.

My kids call this the "the close park". More recently renovated than most parks near us, it's got a great separate play area for the under-5 set, and a good sprinkler area. Plus bathrooms!
