To speak of the park itself - it's nice; there is plenty of parking (at least when I went later in the morning on a Saturday), there's a neat decorative little skatepark and the entrance to the massive Greenway trail it connects to is marked well so it's easy to find.

There are many bikers on the path who all rode very safely and considerately, but if you're wearing headphones while you walk still be sure to check around you regularly. If the Silver Comet Trail is too crowded, this walk can effectively substitute. I'm truly grateful to see this picturesque side...

Bathroom is clean and well maintained. Only thing you need to know is that they dont have a seating area inside the arena, so you might wanna...

The most apparent Greenway trail starts at the crosswalk heading south but you can also head north to Halcyon and beyond. Bathrooms were in nice shape and they have a fountain with a water bottle...
