At the park, you will find a 90ft fiberglass slide, three diving boards ranging from 3ft to 12ft, and a 15ft diving tower. The water depth ranges from 18in to 15ft and there are lifeguards on duty at all times. There are approximately 100 picnic tables, dozens of wooden benches for sunbathing and plenty of shaded areas for various activities, including a game room.
