There is so much more to this park. A little train you can ride on, a museum, a carousel, a huge play ground, and a playground like an old west fort. This is a perfect spot to stop if you have kids!

Well kept park. Plenty of parking. Enjoyed the adjacent building, with its gigantic model train set-up.
