Great place to relax and chill with family and friends.
Overall it is a great park, with plenty of shaded areas, but loses a star as older kids don't have a lot to play on, but also most of the water play features weren't working properly. The main reason we decided to go to this park was because I thought the water play there was going to be awesome for our toddlers, but we were quickly dissapointed when most of it wasn't working as it should.
