This a very new and interesting park for children and adults. Not just a playground and picnic area, the heart of the park is the Nautilus water area and the children's playgrounds. The park planners decided to include native landscaping and rocks from the area. So it is not just a place to play, but also a place to learn and it is a treasure-trove of history and trivia.
