The best park in town, it' has a 9 hole Frisbee golf course (bring your own frisbee) playgrounds for kids, paths, beachball field and a basketball field. Great for walking, jogging and if the sun is shining you'll find a shelter from the wind between the trees for a picknic. In the center is a museum and a coffee house.
