CASCADE FALLS PARK
(SPARKS FOUNDATION COUNTY PARK)
The best known attraction of this 457 acre park
is the Cascades, a man-made, illuminated waterfall with
musical accompaniment enjoyed by all since 1932. Some prefer
to watch the dancing lights and listen to the beautiful
music from comfortable seats, while the more energetic climb
to the top of the 500 foot hill alongside the six giant
fountains while dodging the spraying water.
The falls are
illuminated every night from Memorial Day through Labor
Day,
8:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. with an admission charge. Children
10 years and under are free. Call for special group rates. Please check out our Special Events
Calendar.
The park also includes paddle boat rides,
outdoor basketball court, horseshoe pits, playground and picnic areas , and a
shelter (by reservation). The Cascades Short Course
and driving range, and the Cascades 18-hole Championship
Golf Course. The Cascade Falls Park is also the home of
many special events such as the Midwest's
Largest Civil War Muster, and spectacular fireworks show
every year. And don't forget to stop by the Cascades Ice
Cream Co Featuring "Frozen Dome Malts", opened
March through September.
