Are there benches to sit on throughout the park and is there any shade?

Yes, lots of benches and lots of shade.

Oh my gosh yes, such a well thought out park, was so impressed with the whole experience there a couple weeks ago

Yes.

Yes there is some under the tress and sometimes out on da sun!

Yes, plenty of benches & shade! During hot months they also offer fans w/ mist stations throughout the park to keep you cool!

All over the place

Sheila Brannon - there are several places to sit and take a break, even in the little shops.

Omg yes.

Yes plenty of benches the red ones are for smokers

I agree with Vanessa
