A biofilm on top of the rock filters out smaller microorganisms. Hydrobotanical beds: In these “constructed wetlands”, plants filter phosphates, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other contaminants from the water. Intense ultraviolet from the sun controls bacteria levels before water is

Naturally filtered water. Its green! Yep green, and a sandy poolside makes for a day at the lake in the middle of town. I suggest parking on the west side of the park and walking through. Its a beautiful well shaded park with playgrounds, old trees and fountains.
