Nice large park on the Kern River. Be very careful about going in the river! Lots of trees in the water and a strong current can trap swimmers and down them. Wear a lifejacket and be aware of hazards down stream. Or, stay out of the water and enjoy picnic areas, playgrounds, grass and ponds available at the park.
