Most Popular Town Park (open middle May to middle October)
Town Park is the popular spot for a picnic lunch and some time in the
sun. Children will enjoy the playgrounds, fishing ponds, and the
swimming pool. Tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, ball fields, a
skateboard ramp and festival grounds are free to visitors. The San
Miguel River Trail starts here, so a short hike after lunch is in order.
Broomball, ice skating, sledding, and cross country skiing are some of
the winter activities in Town Park.
