Our favorite park! This park offers 11 acres of activities. You can hike, mountain bike, trail run, search for wildlife, play on the playground, lay under a tree, play tennis, volleyball or have a party (with beer). Challenge yourself by hiking up the chute, or the easier way around the side and see the incredible view of Les Bois.
