★★★★Julie P.Went for a company picnic Has basketball ball courts, a ball field There were porta-potties there not sure if they are always there
★★★★Chris SandersI took my daughter to the Harvest Days festival here. They have a really nice playground and a full size basketball court with six goals. They also have an adult fitness area.. but it wasn't impressive.
