Beautiful park, with two very well maintained disc golf courses. If you haven’t been here you have to check it out.

I like the hiking trails to relax, and there is a quiet spot near the lake and the clubhouse where I have attended outdoor weddings, sat and watched the geese, and listened to bird calls. I have historical meetings near Christmas there and the clubhouse is handy, large enough, with kitchen facilities for potlucks and has clean restrooms.

I walk the wellness park and do Tai Chi under the tall trees near the west end so I can hear the wind chimes at the pond in the wind and the laughter of children playing on the playground set while relaxing in the shade of those trees. You can visit stations with different exercises along the way clearly marked and have a moment with nature to restore yourself.
