Exploration Peak Park

ParkHigh confidence

An 80-acre park featuring a western-themed playground (covered wagon, teepee climber, archaeology dig site), a water spray park with dump bucket, and an outdoor amphitheater. The playground area has covered pavilions, but the summit trail to 2,846-foot Exploration Peak is a shadeless dirt path. Stick to the base area in summer, or hike early morning only.
