This park is a nine-acre neighborhood park featuring two tennis courts, a playground with new equipment, a picnic shelter, and two pools.

The shelter may be reserved, for a fee*, for use during regular park hours (8:00 am - 10:00 pm) on a first-come, first-served basis. User applications are available at the Parks and Recreation office. Volleyball equipment is also available to rent*.

The main pool is a six-lane, twenty-five yard pool, 3.5 feet deep with an attached twelve-foot diving well.  A new spray park was installed in 2010 and provides various water features that will splash, soak, drench and shower the young and the young at heart! The pool opens June through August (check the latest summer brochure for specific dates), daily from 1 to 8 p.m.  The phone number there is 878-2973.
