    Fairgrounds Park has a Splash Pad, Extra Playground and More!

    August 4, 2022 / 3 Comments

    I was blown away on our visit to Fairgrounds Park this summer! I knew that it had a splash pad, but I had no idea that we’d find playgrounds, a fitness zone, batting cages…the list goes on and on as you’ll see below. Plan on spending hours in the area and don’t forget your swimsuits, towels, sunscreen and water! NOTE: This is a large park with a running river and splash pad so it is not a park that you can just let your kids go play.
