This is an amazing place - every time you go (whether you're an adult or child), there's something new going on. First off - the park offers lots of events - snow showing in the winter, bird watching and bird banding. Check out the website/newsletter to find out when the next event is taking place. There are many trails and paths that walk along the river. Fortunately, there are benches along the path - when you see something beautiful, you can sit, pause, and enjoy the view.

This green space is amazing in the middle of such an urban area. We had a great hike, using the Dragonfly trail. The trails are pretty well marked, but in some cases it was challenging to follow, but you certainly don't get lost. Take water if the day is hot(ours was and we regretted not having any). Loads of great vegetation and insect life. It was a great day.

Plenty of trails and hiking area allows for long hikes and opportunities to let you dog run off leash. I went during the week so was able to avoid many other people/dogs. Well maintained walking trails and hiking paths along with plenty of parking.
