Nice park to spend some time in. The grass is well taken care of and there is a good amount of nature to enjoy. There are not that many seating arrangements so if you want to spend any extended period of time, bringing your own seating is advised.

I find it very problematic and not exemplary of good taste to refuse a...

The park has a variety of routes despite it's humble size. Ranging from earthy paths through the trees or paved paths that bring you around the park. It has specific areas for dogs to roam around freely and enough place for people to relax when the...
