Canyon lake park is only a few minutes west from the house. They have the creek and geese and several playgrounds — at the big lake part there are paddle boats to rent. If you have room in the car for little bikes they can cruise around at these parks or just in the driveway (it can fit up to 4 cars on it so it’s a good size).
