I photographed a documentary family session here over the summer and it was such a lovely location. There was plenty of space to have our own quiet area, lay a blanket down and hangout. I also love the homes that surround the park. reminds me of new york.

It’s a beautiful and clean park — a great place for kids to play and for adults to walk or run. However, the small pond under the bridge needs to be cleaned, as it has a bad odor and is full of mosquitoes."

We are lucky to have such a lovely park. It's a great space to get all your steps in or have a gathering with friends and children. There is brand new playground equipment and plenty of wildlife to sit and observe. The people who use this park make sure it stays clean.

We came for family pictures and ended up playing at the playground. Beautiful park!

Small park but one of the absolute nicest in the city! Always an enjoyable walk or place to just chill. Plenty of parking along the streets and typically moderately busy.
