The park has a lot of areas you can go in to walk around there's huge fields. There's basketball like soccer baseball and some trails. You can kinda go on nothing too crazy but I'll nestled in the city obviously, the area around it isn't that great but the town seems to maintain it pretty well, so it was nice. Just taking Bob out
