Cute little park with a nice walking trail that circles the pond. Half the trail is shaded while the other half allows you to get some much needed sunlight! A few concrete benches allow you to sit and take in the view of the water. Pet friendly as well.

Every city needs to more of this. Make more green spaces. This is cute trail around the pond with fountain & sculture~ Lots of trees, river birches, evergreen bushes & trees. Part shade, part sun. Saw a groundhog scurry from the top of the hill. The park is across from apartment complex, also next to Habitat for Humanity (where you can park temporarily). Yes, it's close to hwy, but it's green space and clean.

Real nice park. I was surprised. The trail is about half a mile around. It dont seem like a lot of people goes there. I dont know why. It was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Awesome place.

Decent, simple park located adjacent to two busy streets but aside from the noise it’s peaceful, calming and great for a calm walk in the evening.
