Picnicking

Mature oak, walnut, ash and cottonwood trees provide a cool, shaded setting for a special gathering of friends and family. Grills and picnic tables are scattered throughout the park and along the water’s edge. Ample room is available for volleyball, soccer, Frisbee or a friendly game of baseball. Horseshoe pit and playground equipment are located near the picnic area providing recreational opportunities for the younger children or just the young-hearted. A large shelter with tables and grills is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
