For the Kids
There is so much to do for the kids it is amazing. Who doesn’t love playing in a treehouse, climbing around and being able to hide then scare someone from up above? This is also a great way to point out some of the wildlife around the area, birds or even squirrels. It’s a great way to add a little education to your exploration. The staff from Nova dental Center loves taking their children here.

Do your children like to hike around and play with rocks and things? A great place to explore is Chessie’s Trail. The kids can play and spin rocks, explore more about nature as well. This area is designed for children of all ages. Heck, even us big kids like to play with rocks.

Okay, so all the playing around is getting everyone sweaty and hot. How about time to cool off. The Harbor is a great place to cool off, with all sorts of spraying animals and buckets that dump water down on to you. The park does recommend that you wear water shoes while in the harbor. So be sure to have some packed up and ready. If you are looking for a little more because your kids can swim like fish, don’t forget to check out the aquatic center. You will need to check for the public swimming hours, this does vary due to the offering of swim classes and such. You can check the website for times when the pool is available to the public.

Enough about the kids, how about what is available for just the adults. How about setting up a date with the wife and having some fun in the great outdoors just for yourselves.

If your children really love the area and want to return, you can check into some of the camping opportunities that are available. There are spring and summer programs available.
