Heritage Park

Heritage park is a gem in the middle of a shopping haven. It's a great place to hop by in between errands to let the kiddos (or dogs) run around, but if you have all morning, it's also a great place to wade, catch crawdads and feed the fish.

Along with the play structure, there are swings and a bocce ball court. There's also a great track around the whole park for jogging or riding bikes.

The Dog Park located at Heritage is open to your dog after it has been screened and you have paid a small annual fee.

Our favorite part of Heritage is definitely the creek. Along with being picturesque, it's also infinitely wadeable and splashable!

The creek goes under the bridge that brings you into the park.

It didn't take long before my kiddos were tossing their shirts and going into the water in their suits. I would say this is mainly a wading hole, but with my kids, I knew that if they wore clothes, it would only be a matter of minutes before they were soaked. Hence the bathing suits.



The Heritage House is an arts and civic center located on the grounds of the park. This house and grounds were once the private estate of the Henshaw family. There are festivals at the house throughout the year, and it can be rented out for private events.
