Absolutely no shade. The park has long stretches of walking trails on top of small network of hillocks right by the backwaters. On hot days you have no shade - and the gravely top on the trails radiates heat. And the whole area can get breezy so not great for winters either. So pick your timing carefully. A few public art features (chevrons and the windwanes) are interesting. Big plus, you could sit there and watch the small planes land into the airport - nice past time for unplugged evenings. The chevrons, I think, are there to guide the planes into the airport, but that’s my theory.

My favorite place to walk where there's water. It's quiet & I love the distraction of nature: duck, geese, squirrels, birds, dragonflies, butterflies, rabbits, ladybugs, eagles, hawks. Here's a pic of a burrowing owl I encountered in 2019. Sooo cute!

Great place for a run, especially in the morning. Packed dirt, flat, view of marshlands, small propeller planes (Cessna planes), and different birds

There is an airport for small planes so you can see plans a lot here and it felt close than I thought. The trail seems large and long to walk around. it was good to walk and you can bring your dog.
