Paul S. Dryer Nature Preserve at Windmill Hill delivers a quiet and well kept trail system. You get clear paths, steady footing, and a clean environment. The views give you a strong sense of open space. Parking sits close to the entrance so you move in and out without stress. The area stays peaceful even during busy hours. You get a solid spot for walking, bird watching, and short breaks during the day.

I didn’t give it five star because there’s a lot of empty space that will turn into mud holes in the rainy season. Additionally, it would be nice for dogs to actually have some type of play equipment here. There is ample space for your pups to run around and enjoy themselves. No one seems to pick up after their dogs poop so careful if you plan on walking the park with your dog. Well, fenced plenty of space to walk around the park if you don’t want your pup to socialize, or when things get a little rowdy.

We are hosting my grandsons eighth birthday party here. The theme: Black Panther! There are swings, slides, picnic tables, a grill, and soccer goals. There is a tarp over the play area. It should be double the size considering the neighborhood! However, there is not enough shade as the trees are sparse!
