Mainly baseball/soccer fields. Used to have batting cages, but I'm not sure if it's still there. Butterfly World is located here.

Across from Butterfly World in Cocout Creek, the Tradewinds Park stables offer horseback riding.

It was a real nice place to visit, we did it on Mothers Day. Mothers got in free. If we had to pay full price we would not have gone, very overpriced approx 21.00 a person, so not worth that, not sure how a family could afford this.

This is a well kept mini-zoo with knowledgeable caretakers. We thoroughly enjoyed the one hour visit. Lots ot learn here! The gift shop is a bit overpriced, I'd skip that.
