I only went to the softball field and didn't see much more, but the place is beautiful and has a lot of picnic areas. It's surrounded by water and fishing is allowed.

Catch a baseball game, softball, football, you name it. There is a nice playground for kids, great picnic areas and it is a wonderful place for walking or jogging. We are so lucky to have such a nice park in our city.
