We were visiting Urbana and were told about this wonderful park. It was a beautiful day for a walk and this was the perfect place to see and experience its beauty. It was during the week and it was not too busy. We were able to relax and enjoy the unusual park artwork and sculptures. There is a paved walking path around the park. Children were playing in the playground. The park is lovely and peaceful.

We really enjoyed wandering the trails here on a hot humid afternoon. We saw many deer. We were sad that some of the watering places were drained so it appeared the deer had a harder time getting water. There also used to be turtles and frogs but there stream was drained so we did not see any of those either. There were several trails but they were not really clearly marked. We figured we would eventually find our way out.

Nice place to walk when it's not too warm. The best time to go is in the spring when the cherry blossom trees are in bloom!
