Town Park (open middle May to

Town Park is the popular spot for a picnic lunch and some time in the sun.
Children will enjoy the playgrounds, fishing ponds, and the swimming pool.
Tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, ball fields, a skateboard ramp
and festival grounds are free to visitors. The San Miguel River Trail
