The unique features incorporated into the park’s design allow for a multitude of active and passive activities that attract thousands of visitors daily to the park during peak summer months.
Children are drawn to its three interactive water features on warm summer days, and adults can be found exploring the park’s two newest features, public art that is part of Douglas County’s Art Encounters public art program.
