Blessed to live in an area with so many wonderful parks, it
took a while to get to this one. Boy was it worth the wait. When we arrived at
this park, we found a parking lot with tons of open spaces (could have been because
it was lightly misting). Jumping out of the car to get started, my kids ran up
towards the park and set off a motion-activated sensor that talked to them. Then
an electronic gnome that told corny jokes was a bit further up the path. They
ended up pushing the joke button for several minutes. I couldn’t believe that
something so simple could stop my kids from running onto a playground, but
great job on them for that!
When they reached the top, they saw an incredibly cool
nature themed park! There were several good slides, including one long and fast
one, and several smaller slides. The rubber matting is always a plus, and they
had multiple different areas to climb on the playground. Even though it was
already misting a little when we got to the park, they really liked that there
were buttons to press that activated misters on the playground, which is great
for cooling off on hot summer days. 
Although they were not tired of the playground, they noticed that there were also beautiful and well-maintained basketball courts with nice hoops and glass backboards. After shooting hoops for a while, they then carried on to the beautiful looking skate park. Some kids were on bikes, others on roller blades, and others on skateboards. The different elements provided a variety of challenges, and they also had shaded and brightly colored seats for parents to sit and watch while the kids played. After several hours, we didn’t even have time to walk on the nature path that was located near the second parking area. Perhaps next time we will take a look at the trail as well, but this definitely provided hours of entertainment and is now one of our favorite parks!
