Lewis Wetzel Park

Park Location

Lewis Wetzel Pool

The recently renovated Lewis Wetzel Pool is a great place to cool off for young and old alike. The shallow entry and splash pad area is great for toddlers and features several whimsical sprinklers, water buckets that dump water from overhead and a mini slide. Moving into deeper water is a large pool area for enjoying the crystal clear water, whether relaxing in the water or just soaking your feet. In the deepest section are the lilly pads. These are floating soft pads anchored in place from below with a cargo net above to help hang on. The lilly pads are challenging and often lead to hilarious situations as kids try to hang on. A real laugh for kids and those watching. And of course, the star of the show is our water slides!

Pond & Paddle Boats

The pond at Lewis Wetzel Park is a great place to relax and unwind. The pond is equipped with a water fountain and features large bench swings, a walking path around the pond, paddle boats, and seasonal fishing.
