Smith Park, also located on the lake, has a bath house, life guard in season, swimming instruction and playground. Raceway Park has grills and tables, with excellent trout fishing from the banks. Other city parks also have excellent picnic facilities. The Flowing Well Park on the west side of the city has natural mineral springs and is a popular picnic area.
Many families bring jugs to take home the mineral water.
The park is popular with organized camping groups for rallies because of it's enclosed shelter and close proximity to the shopping district and other activities.

The High School, new in 1993, was uniquely designed, incorporating the old high school into the middle school, utilizing shared resources. Jack Jones Elementary school was enlarged in 1992 to accomodate a growing number of students in the area. A good relationship exists between the school and the community with school facilities used for community activites and organized recreation programs.
