A beautiful walking area especially during the fall when we visited. The paths wind throughout the park which gives you options on how to hike through without being so vast that you’ll get lost. It was well trafficked with lots of dogs, and while it was located in a sort of residential neighborhood, it was quiet and peaceful to walk through. We crossed the street into the neighboring cemetery and followed the trail there for a bit as well (there are signs throughout both the park and cemetery that guide you). Overall a nice place to spend a little time just enjoying nature in quiet!

Great little walk! Dog and I needed to hide from the heat and this did the trick. We were hoping for a creek, but they were all dried up. Dogs are allowed year-round at the park but they have a variable leash law depending on time of the year.

I love this place. It’s close to home, so I can take our dog here after work sometimes.
