World War II Memorial Park

Brian Hassler

Park and splash pad were a great time for my kid. Lots of walking trails, clean restrooms. There appeared to be an ice cream truck in the lot opposite of where I parked on a Friday afternoon. Note: Google said the splash pad was closed the first time we went (Tues morning) so I didn't take swimwear. It was open

We go for the splash pad. It's a great place for the kids to cool down when it's hot

Great place! Very clean and well maintained We will return. Kids loved it! I do wish the water pressure was a bit stronger

This park is a hidden gem! I was thoroughly impressed with the splash pad, the playground, the basketball courts, and the overall layout. The splash pad looks like it could accommodate dozens of children at the same time and has a wide variety of water features. Some of the features are appropriate for toddlers and others are appropriate for older children, so it's perfect for a variety of ages. My favorite part is the "surprise" element of some of the features. They'll turn off after a lengthy period of time and stay off long enough to lull you into thinking it's safe to walk across before turning on and getting you soaked! My wife and I were seeking a place to take our 4 and one-year-olds to cool off on a hot day and this was perfect. We'll definitely come back for this part of the park alone. The water park is adjacent to an impressive playground which also supports toddlers (as young as 2 years old, according to a sign there) tp older children. The playground features stuff you would expect from any modern playground (like slides and tubes) but also some stuff I haven't seen elsewhere, like elements which are like a suspension bridge - and test balancing - and climbing ropes. Both the splash pad and playground are enclosed within a fenced perimeter and there is a completely open layout, making it simple to keep an eye on your kids if you want to park yourself on one of several benches or if you want to lay out on a sizable grassy area (also within the fenced-in portion). There's also a shaded picnic area at the top of a perch from which you can see the entire area, if you want to get the high ground as you watch your kids. The splash pad is pretty easy on feet (you could walk around in it barefoot), but bring something to put on your feet if you're going to use the playground area. The playground area has a luxurious cushioned rubber surface but one oversight with it is the surface is hot to the touch on sunny Summer days. The grounds surrounding the splash pad and playground are also nice for a picnic or stroll. And while I didn't try them out during my first visit I'll likely spend some time on the nice basketball courts here, the next time I'm there. They're immaculate and feature what appear to be Plexiglas backboards. I advised this is a hidden gem because it's difficult to see from the roads. You could easily miss it, even if you're using GPS navigation, because there is very little signage to advise of where it is.
