A big play area, shade trees and covered picnic tables, with restrooms and a concession stand. Free summer concerts pull a family crowd. There are two parking areas, one of which means a walk over a bridge. It sits by the river and turns cold after dark, so bring layers for evening events.
The east side on Park Center Drive has a splash pad that's a lifesaver on hot summer afternoons, plus playgrounds and wide-open lawns for picnics and kite-flying. Bring towels and water shoes since the splash pad surface heats up midday. It's central and easy to pair with a stop at nearby Santee Trolley Square for lunch.

Town Center Park is the real heart of Santee, where a community comes together to enjoy the natural beauty of the park and share their life through the weekly Summer Concert series. Truly a heart warming free event for all ages. We enjoyed a wonderful sunset picnic while being seranaded by the Journeymen Band.(Faithfully).

There is always something family friendly happening at this park. It is clean, there is a place to buy food and beer if you're into that, huge place to play for the kids. Lots of trees on the north side for shade. If your dogs are friendly and on a leash, they are welcome.
