Very nice park. Clean, quiet. Great little trail for fur kids. Moderate trail only because of a couple of hills. But a walking stick would suffice if you're unsure. Barley, any trash along trail except for a few beer cans. The only bummer was the dog park, but I didn't realize you have to pay for a year's pass, and we are only here visiting. So our pup was SUPER bummed. Should have an online QR code to purchase one day pass.

Lots of great trails and open space the sledding hill in winter is a must and nice dog park and palyground. My only complaint is the amount of people who allow their dog to be off leash outside of the dog park 🙄.

The park itself is very small with no trails, but there is a reasonable sized playground, two dog parks (with an agility course!). There are also a number of places for a picnic/party. One large shelter next to the parking lot One group of tables sheltered by trees And one small shelter hidden in the woods by the lake that could accommodate maybe 10-12 people. There is also a large, open field at the bottom of an embankment that allows plenty of room to run around.

Amazing big tulip trees and so many different plants and flowers. Nice paths easy to navigate.

It's a beautiful park with a nice walking trail. There's a big hill that you can slide down when it snows, a dog park, a playground and a pond for fishing out back. They say the place is haunted but I've yet to see anything.
