About This Attraction

The playground, beach and hill at Robert C. Valade Park are open all year long for fun in every season!

The playground offers giant replica lifeguard towers, slides, climbing features, a musical garden, and a beach.

In the winter, Valade Park transitions into a winter wonderland. Sleds are available to borrow in the sled shed during the winter months for sledding on the hill. Families can visit the park on the weekends in January and February to experience Winter at Valade, featuring giant fires, marshmallow roasters, outdoor winter games and food and drinks for all ages.
