Lakeshore Beach and Jessica’s Splashpad are seasonal, so park opening hours do not guarantee water play. Ella Mae Power Park’s restrooms operate May 1–November 1. Check trail conditions before walking and library registration requirements before attending a program.
Confirm current hours, reservations, and any seasonal closures on the venue’s official website before leaving.
