Parks & Nature
Paved path on the gorgeous Grand Lake. Great Swimming and jumping off the rocks if you are a tad brave! Wonderful to go for a 1/2 walk through the whole park or to bike around. Expect to see locals here in summer.

Boat launch in this park onto Laurie Park. Lifeguards in summer. Family friendly. Wide open space but also has great hiking in the woods. BBQ pits and picnic tables are on site as well as change rooms and outhouses. Water is warm and a small sandy beach is here too.
