My dog LOVES coming here, this is a great park to take and walk the dogs. Lots of other dogs here and plenty of space around a really nice nature path.

Very large park that’s great for kids. Parking is right next to the play equipment and bathrooms, with a large field. From there you can amble the trails and see lots of trees, some bunnies and squirrels. Definitely found a small bike jump area, and didn’t even explore half the park!

Plenty of parking, huge park with several playgrounds for kids. It can be a little muddy after the rain. There's an outdoor theater near the gate, not sure if they use it for anything. Again, it's a really big park so very spacious for multiple birthday parties going on at the same time. The Men's restroom needs better maintenance and cleaning. The dog park is also nearby but we didn't go over there. Really appreciate those who kept the leash on the dog, especially next to the playground.

Finally was able to visit this park, and my toddlers loved it!! Lots of room to run, jump, and ride thier little carts with. Very beautiful views, and nature's all around. The park has mini trails, an amphitheater, a dog park towards the back, and a large playground. Unfortunately the swings where missing, but they did have baby swings available. Parking was good, there is a bathroom, and it's just a beautiful place over all. Will definitely go back again.

The park was beautiful and very clean. We were there with a group of artists painting the shady paths, trees, and rolling hills. There was a birthday party nearby and lots of people walking their dogs.
