Over the park's seventeen acres, you'll find the perfect spot to have a picnic and enjoy the river view. The hours are dawn until dusk, so plan a day full of wide open spaces with the Hamel Park as your only destination.

The Olde Covered Bridge Gardens features an ever changing bouquet of flowering plants all surrounding this historic bridge in one of the most visually captivating corners of the city. You'll find that this is a great place for spending time outdoors.

And if all that gaming increased your appetite, you can enjoy a celebratory meal at the hotel's steak house, Asian restaurant, buffet, cafe and grille, or deli.
