Visitors can stroll the paths in the park and enjoy the lilies in bloom.
There will also be dog competitions.
Children’s activities include a bounce house, magic show, lady bugs, butterflies, bubble station and arts and crafts.
There’s parking at the park and ride lot on Route 443, field parking off Fort Road and at Fox Creek Park.
