What people say, in short
Visitors recommend Oaks Park, and many single out its roller skating rink, with one noting open-skate sessions and another the spring reopening of the season. Several suggest it for children or teens, and one calls it a compact, fun amusement spot worth an afternoon for kids who like rides. The beach by the river is listed among good river spots, though one longtime visitor says unleashed dogs make it very crowded.
