At the center of it all is a spring-fed, 28-acre lake that’s perfect for fishing and boating.
For land lovers, there’s a 1.1 mile paved, ADA-accessible loop surrounding the lake that’s ideal for walking, jogging, rollerblading and bicycling. Blow off steam at one of the park’s three playgrounds or gather friends for a game on one of four sand volleyball courts.
Olander Park also features three facilities that are available to rent for wedding receptions, meetings, family reunions, and more.
The Swim Beach and Boat Rentals open on Memorial Day weekend and close on Labor Day Weekend.
