Great park. Well kept, from the shaded trails to the playground. Love that it has a volleyball court. The grass is well kept up with which makes the field look gorgeous. Pictures don’t do justice! Clean pavilion, garbage cans available throughout the park. Area with certain trees along with a butterfly garden. Perfect for the whole family! Highly recommend it!

A lovely trail with lots of trees, large fields, a butterfly conservatory, a community garden, a volleyball court, a good amount of parking and other cool features. It’s a great trail to traverse alone, with your SO, as family or with your pet! The trail has a variety scenery; the large park, bridges over a creek at points, very “foresty” parts, a quiet neighborhood and more. The trail isn’t too long and you can select longer or shorter loops.

Beautiful park, great walking trails, well maintained, clean facilities. This park has it all. One of my favorites.

Great park! Playground, little garden place, trails, good shade, bathroom, all of that. BUT. It's directly next to a road. A road where they don't stop. So it's not a place I recommend for kids that like to wander off, unless you want your baby to go splat.
