The Blue Valley Park originally began in 1943 as the city’s Bales Lake Park project and became the Blue Valley Park in the year 1945. The city park now includes a public frisbee golf course, a ballfield, a playground, and picnic areas. There is also a concession stand that provides snacks and is named in honor of Donna and Larry Van Dyke, who founded the Optimist Athletic Association promoting youth baseball at the park. Children particularly love the water playground in the Blue Valley Park, offering splashground for kids to play in during warm weather.
