280 Acres in Suburbia
Super cool park called the Lakes Regional Park, in the middle of, well, everything... A bit crowded, and parking is either $1.00 per hour or $5.00 for the day. 158 acres of man-made freshwater lakes formed by a rock mine that operated on the property in the 1960s. A variety of wildlife can be spotted throughout Lakes Park, especially birds. Spotted a Red-winged blackbird and an alligator! The park includes about 2 1/2 miles of walking and biking trails running along the lakes. The train was not in operation due to the pandemic. Plenty of park benches and picnic tables. Icecream sold on site along with light snacks and drinks. Various outdoor rentals available including kayaks. Fishing allowed in some spots. NOT PUP FRIENDLY ?

Park with many features
This is a lovely park with trails and a long board walk around water. There are many signs informing you about the wildlife. A train ( most suitable for children) leaves hourly, there are bicycles to rent and snacks and ice cream to buy. By good luck we came on a Wednesday at noon and there was an outstanding large farmers market open until 1:00. It was a great place to buy lunch and then enjoy it on one of the many picnic tables. This park would be really fun for kids as there was a large interesting playground, water features and a children’s garden as well as the train.
