After the flood of damaged the area, the Kruideniers—a local couple—donated money to spur park renovations to help make it what it is today. This renovation was part of the inspiration for the development of the downtown area.

The impressive pedestrian bridge, views of the city skyline, and urban park setting make it a popular trail. The 1,foot long, foot wide, illuminated bridge is the piece that completes the looped trail around the lake.

Each night, its multi-colored lights and glass panels create a breathtaking display. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats are available. Life jackets are required and are available at concessions. If you have your own canoe or kayak, access the boat launch near the northwest parking lot by the park entrance.

Ride the loop around the lake or hop on one of the connecting trails nearby to take in any direction you choose. See the Trails section below for more information. Free parking is nearby, as well as restrooms and a playground. Life jackets are available at the park. The water gets tested for high E-Coli levels, and the beach is closed if deemed unsafe. Largemouth Bass are a frequent catch. You can also catch a wide variety of other species, like Bluegill, Crappie, and Channel Catfish, to name a few.
