We decided to come check this place out. They had lake access for jet ski and a nice little play area. The park was clean as well. Would return and highly recommend. Sophia loved it.

Quiet lake front park in a quiet neighborhood, walking trail, and the city just installed new kids' playground equipment and teen/adult exercise equipment. Horse shoe pits, restroom building, and lots of picnic tables. Basketball court is usually in use late afternoon, early evening. EDIT, 12/22: Hurricane Ian took quite a toll on the park but it's still a good place for family activities. The City did a good job cleaning up after the storm, but at least 10% of the trees, especially some of the larger ones were lost. There are still several large uprooted stumps in place and the shade for the kids' playground is still missing, as well as the lights for the horseshoe pits. The walking trail lights are still in place but haven't worked since Ian. The recently installed kayak launch sustained serious damage as well.

Amazing park, beautiful atmosphere with the lake, plenty of benches, workout machines, a burrowing owl habitat, karak launch, playground, basketball court, horseshoe area, pavilion, and very clean bathrooms in a safe neighborhood.
