Chase Palm Park has a nice childrens play area in the central part, a nice stage for outside performances, and very nicely restored carousel (which is perfect to ride at night time)!

The playground equipment was brand new with very engaging features including trickling and spraying water that encourages dam and channel building in the sand (who doesn't love that?!) The carousel costs $2, but they give a very... More
