daniel c. • July 8, 2014Good single track mountain biking trails. Well marked. Not too crowded. Has hikers and cyclists.

Daniel R. • April 10, 2011Great place to have a cup of coffee and enjoy a beautiful spring or summer day! Nice to read a book or people watch...

Paul M. • November 22, 2013Around the park is a path. On the path are a few "workout" stations. My favorite are the parallel bars (which I use for dips, core training, and balancing on top) and the monkey ladder.

Kyle E. • May 17, 2013Not always easy to find a shaded bench or chair but usually this park is not too crowded.
