We live right by this park and I LOVE it, except for one MAJOR issue. We've seen the splash pad, used the dog park, walked around on the trails, seen the softball games and concerts, etc. That's all great. The park is clean, well lit, well maintained, and in a great location.
But WHO was responsible for the decision to put the lake right next to the playground and splash pad with NO fencing or barrier between the two? It wouldn't take much at all for a small child to wander away from the pavillions or the splash pad and fall in the water. Yes, kids are supervised but we all know that no parent can be everywhere all the time. I have a difficult time believing that no one thought of this during the planning and blueprint process. It would have been relatively easy to fix with either a barrier or a redesign of the park's layout. I'm afraid it will take a tragedy before anything is done about this.
