Five reservable picnic shelters suitable for group events and parties are located within the confines of the 2.4-acre miniature golf course area.
Clubhouse Building: The 4,950 s.f. clubhouse will house the park’s administrative offices, pro shop, restrooms, food concession kitchen and dining areas. The building will include outdoor admissions and food concessions windows, and will feature an 800 s.f. outdoor dining area/sitting area which overlooks the lake and golf course.
Freestanding Restrooms: A freestanding restroom facility is provided at the entrance of the passive park area for the convenience of park patrons utilizing the picnic facilities and open turf, playground, and children’s splashpad areas.

Passive Water Features: Waterfalls, brooks and streams weave between and around areas of the miniature golf course and flow into two prominent lake features. The community room and clubhouse overlook one lake, and the other is located in the passive park area.
Major IMPACT Components:
Community Room: The community room is an approximately 4,850 s.f. facility which can be used for meetings, parties, wedding receptions, and other occasions.

Plaza and Seasonal Ice Rink: A 55,000 s.f. plaza provides a pedestrian linkage between the park’s amenities, and contains a fountain that serves as the central focal point for the pedestrian entry and waiting area. A 500 s.f. seasonal ice rink will be placed over a portion of the lake near the plaza entrance during the holiday season.
Passive Park Area: The 3-plus acre passive park features a playground with rubberized surfacing, children’s splashpad, sand volleyball court, shade trees and an open turf area. It is bordered by the meandering walking path. The playground will include tot and preteen play equipment and swings, and will be located near the entrance of the passive park and the freestanding restrooms. The children’s splashpad will have a colorful, flat, rubberized surface with ground sprays that squirt up from the surface. The splashpad will also include above-ground interactive water play features; for example, a rainbow that allows the children to get wet as they run through it or spray cannons that allow the children to shoot water at one another.
