the Sprayground is a great way to keep kids of many ages busy and active. Park runs along the northern side of the lake, which is great for riding a bike or taking a walk. The view of the lake is excellent.

June 14 Kid Friendly by Mrs. Carnicelli

I have 6 kids and they all LOVE the spraypark, plus you can bring outdoor activites and play near one of the grassy areas. My only complaint is the beach is gross and they should have spray park open later than 6 for those who work till 5 or later. Overall I go all summer and love it!!
