This park is not reservable.

Size: 21.00 Acres

Amenities:
Multipurpose Fields 1
Water Play Features 1

Description: This dramatic new park includes an oval-shaped meadow, a plaza space and a 35-foot hill with sweeping views of downtown. The interactive fountain is currently closed.

Walk up the small hill for a beautiful view of downtown and the rest of the park, and look for birds in the new pond.

The decorative fountain in the center of the park has become a major tourist attraction. However, major improvements to the filtration system are needed to keep up with the high usage. The parks department now considers the fountain a decorative element rather than an interactive play element.
