A nice family park with picnic tables, small rock beach in some places, a small floating dock, swimming area by dock, small playground for young children, and restrooms. No alcohol allowed. Peaceful and quiet. We observed a beautiful sunset when we were there. Beware: this area is still primitive on the edges. We killed a small snake with a rock. No need to be afraid, but wear closed shoes and be aware of your surroundings. Note: We have been to this park twice. The first time it was spotless. After Memorial Day weekend, there was tons of trash on the rocky beach, but the picnic areas were spotless. Please throw your trash in the provided trash cans, so everyone can enjoy this park. Thanks!

My husband and I went to Red Bud Park on a Monday afternoon. The large park was not crowded. The park has a splash pad, picnic tables, a large playscape, covered pavilion with exercise equipment, benches, restrooms and a prairie dog park. I loved the prairie dogs. The park is free to use, open daily 5:30 to midnight and there was plenty of parking.
