Great for novice adventurers and active thrill seekers alike, this ride over the rapids is comparable to one of the Cheyenne Frontier Day bull rides.

Enjoy the greenery of the park at one of the picnic areas, play a game of basketball on the public court, let the children have fun in their play area and cool down in the summer at Johnson Pool.
