Silver Lake Park has a nice beach area to swim and play in the sand! There is some playground equipment; swings, sand box, four-seat teeter totter / seesaw, monkey bars, and slides. This park is NOT free. But it is worth the fee if you are looking for some water to cool off in on those hot days. I checked this park out in the fall, so I didn’t have to pay to enter. The admission fee is from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend!
