“Nice out of the way city park….good sized field for activities. BBQ cooker, although I would suggest to being your own. Plenty of covered sitting! Outhouse, garbage receptacle. Small creek (no swimming), great trail to the water tower and beyond! No overnight, closes at dusk. Plenty of walking opportunities, including to the beach or reservoir. Great place to walk your dog. Fishing and non motorized (fuel), boating nearby. Not crowded!”
