- Extended ArmsSeptember 16, 2016I have always visited this park frequently for meditation, quite time and short walks. It need to be updated. A makeover is really overdue. It's still a nice experience for new comers.
Michelle LAugust 12, 2014Such a cool park to walk! There's a scale model (actually filled with water) of the Mississippi River. Walk a little further to see the actual Mississippi River!
