Mary Jo Peckham Park For All Children is an ideal family park with lots of things to see and do. It features a large man-made lake with ducks and is very scenic. The exercise path goes around this lake.

There is also a small miniature golf course, a fairly large playground, a koi fish pond, and an indoor swimming pool.

This park is very pretty. It offers rolling mounds and looks like it may have been part of a golf course at one time. This is the type of park where you would want to go to picnic, bbq, fish, or just relax.
