🗓️ DEAR AUGUST, CAN YOU JUST PRETEND YOU ARE JANUARY PLEASE SO YOU CAN DRAG ON FOR LIKE 87 DAYS? THANK YOU KINDLY 🙏 

There are some parks that are worth the drive… and Colonial Park is absolutely one of them! 🌳💦 We drove about an hour, and it easily turned into a full day of family fun!

Here’s what you’ll find:
🦆 Duck pedal boats on the lake (seasonal, rentals available)
💦 FREE splash pad that’s perfect for cooling off on hot summer days
🛝 A large playground with plenty to climb, slide, and explore
🌸 Beautiful Rudolf W. van der Goot Rose Garden that’s perfect for a peaceful stroll and gorgeous photos
🌿 Walking paths, open green space, picnic areas, and so much room for kids to run and play

📍 Colonial Park
