Nice, beautiful, short park trail accessible to everyone able to walk a block between two major streets. Maybe, after a wet couple of days, check with the friendly staff at the park entrance, if you have difficulty to jump half a meter over a tiny brook or two. The falls are worth the hike even if you are tired and would rather have a beer. They are not huge, but powerful (watch your kids at all times! - you can get as close as you want).
