Nice park needing some TLC. I suspect keeping the park updated is bad for the ecosystem there. Which has already been impacted by the giant malls built right next to it. I saw some people could not find the proper entrance. That is probably a good thing. It took me some time to find as well. The hunt was worth it in my opinion. I would like to see a little up keep. No more than one or two passionate locals could probably do on their own or by volunteering. I can see any equipment going in causing damage to the paths and/or the habitats.

You can see the true beauty of this place even under all of the fallen leaves. It is not kept well but it's clear this was once a truly magical place. With all the leaves having fallen the paths were not totally clear but we followed the benches that lined the paths. Looks like this place used to be a true gem. Can we please fix it up? Let's get a few boy scouts in the park and take the trees off the picnic tables and clean up a bit. It really doesn't need much- just a little love.

I've been coming down here for years, mostly in the winter months to photograph the Bald Eagles that frequent this location. The park is in shambles! The structures are literally falling apart and are unkept! One area of main concern is the main deck directly behind The Shops at Riverside. It poses a great safety concern for the hundreds of people that visit it. The deck is slowly collapsing and is visible as it is obvious. I have contacted the parks division a few times and nothing is or has been done to rectify this safety issue. Something needs to done before this deck collapses, especially if people are on it. There could be death or injuries due to the neglect of this issue. I will try and make contact one more time withe the parks division to see if I can get some action. If not, then I will go to the press. All in all, the park is an awesome place to view wildlife, fish, take photos or just to relax as many do. Unfortunately, it's going to take someone getting injured or even die due to the lack of maintenance this park deserves.
