The park is an awesome place for cyclists to take their families for a summertime picnic and outdoor activities – all while social distancing!

On the way out, grab some Mexican cuisine from District Taco or BBQ from Sloppy Mama's BBQ, and visit Lee Arts Center with the family to check out one of their many workshops and displays.
