Park with a fishing lake & pier plus a roughly 1-mile jogging trail, volleyball courts & BBQ areas.

This is a great place to take a walk around a little lake during the day. The trail that circles the lake is just over a mile, there were several young families enjoying the lake during the afternoon.
