Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings (8-11 AM) offer the best experience with smaller crowds and cooler temperatures for splash pad enjoyment. Summer months are ideal for the full park experience, though spring and fall are beautiful for pond walks and playground time without the water features.
What to Know
The park is free to access with convenient street parking available. Restroom facilities are on-site, but there are no food concessions, so pack snacks and drinks for longer visits.
Seasonal Notes
The splash pad typically operates from late May through early September, weather permitting. The playground and walking paths are year-round attractions, though winter visits offer sledding opportunities when there's snow. Fall foliage around Mill Pond is particularly beautiful in October.
Nearby Eats
Walk to nearby Cranky Al's (casual American fare with a kids menu) or Ferch's Malt Shoppe & Grille for burgers and old-fashioned ice cream treats,both are within easy distance and very family-friendly.
