Kimberly's Guidebook
Park
This beautiful park is a little over 1 mile away. Perfect for an early morning walk, or an evening stroll after dinner with the pups. There are two small lakes for fishing, small playground, ball fields, picnic shelters and tables with grills.
This park is just beautiful and so close by! Needing somewhere close by for a picnic? Wanting to get the dogs out of the house for a short trip? Needing a small playground for the young kids?
