Wow, this place is awesome. Try the Boneless braised beef rib. Mouth watering. A bit of a drive from here, but we'll worth it.

You can walk on the nice walking trails all the way to Zukerberg Island and back. It's a lovely outing any time of day.

This park has been around since I was a kid. It has changed and the city added a wonderful water park. Fun for the whole family.
