We visit this park to walk our dogs outside of our usual routine. It has a great path, and tons of open space. Recommend for people with pets, families with children, or just looking for a nice green open space.

great spot to hike, not over populated so you really feel your out in nature! Well kept and marked! Way up in back is an old dump found a couple of really old cool bottles! The waterfall is so nice!
