Kids today are growing up in a world of smartphones and tablets, but at the end of the day they are still kids at heart. They love to play outside, dig in the dirt, roll down hills, climb anything and everything, and ride their bikes. At Rio Vista Community Park your kids can do all of that and more with its luscious green fields, beautiful lake, giant jungle gym, various trails, and perfect picnic spots. Fishing is also an option or strolling along the paved trails along Skunk Creek. Wildlife can be seen along the way and the trail is wide enough to support bikes as well. Inside the recreation center you will find a rock wall, racquetball, basketball and volleyball courts and a full gym. Day passes and childcare are available.
