Nice park with lots of activities for families and individuals. Has tennis courts, walking path, playground with small kids area, pavilions, beautiful gardens, large grassy areas with trees for shade, and fishing pond with a dock. Cute old tree trunk turned into a little library. Not sure if there were other elements we didn't get to explore at the park since our young kiddos were getting fussy and left prematurely.

A hidden Gem of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Each time I go there, a new flower captivates my heart and I need to take 45+ pictures of it. The fountain offers a gentle lullaby from pretty much anywhere in the park, and the trees a pleasant retreat into the shade. Even in our long summers of 91+ degrees Fahrenheit it's still a dream come true everytime I go there. They have an event hall where people often host parties and it's always a lively affair. The event hall is away from the rest of the park though so you can continue to enjoy it at your leisure. There are good flat rocks you can stand or sit on close by the water that you'll always see people fishing on. Truly adorable and a magical place. The only downside is that people will often take hella wedding pictures there for 45 minutes at a time and hog the entire reflection pool area. It's fine I guess, but if you need 45 minutes to take a few pictures with a 3,000 dollar camera - that's tuff; I took these photos with my phone. And you've got 20 people taking up a whole area, inconveniencing everyone around them for basically no reason. -_- Other than that though, I highly recommend going there.

I love sitting in the grass here in front of the lake. Early in the morning it's lesser people,but you can't beat the vibe here. Nice park in fort wayne. Though for some reason the community doesn't seem to grasp personal space. Maybe that's just me though.
