I didn't take the time today to checkout the entire park. The only part I was interested in was the Mastodon display. It is one of the Earth Cache's I wanted to get done this weekend. The inside display is small, but detailed and will give you lots of information. Once done in the center, walk out to the other side of the building to see the statue of the man digging bones. It's pretty nice. If your kids are into dinosaurs bones, this is a nice place to bring them. It is free. There is also a free zoo, but I'll need to check that out next time.

This is a nice, small park. Perfect for an afternoon away from the house. The garden WOWed me! Beautiful! The flowers were gorgeous! I could not stop staring at the flowers - make great photos ;)! Right next to it is the zoo, which is also another place to explore. All in all, it’s a very convenient and small park to go to in a beautiful day! if you want to enjoy colors and flowers for free- definitely go there Will most definitely return!

The mastodon lake used to look beautiful, housed many birds and small animals. I dod not see many evasive plants but one or two here and there. For some reason they destroyed 90 percent of the trees and plants. Does it look clean, no because instead they should have focused on the trash clean-up in the pond/ lake. It looks disgusting now, no shade while running, have seen fewer animals now including the fish that used to go by the edge and stick their tails out.

I'm giving it four stars because even though they have only about a dozen animal exhibits, it's actually a pretty nice walk. It's a great place to take your kids, and it's free. There's a couple of wolves, eagles, peacocks and some other animals. It's pretty cool. It's no Brookfield zoo by any stretch, but for being in the suburbs and all I really can't complain. Again, it's free!

We LOVE this place!!! Due to Covit-19 zoo and splash pad is closed but playground was open. And on the nice sunny day it was exactly what we needed. Ice-cream truck stopped by as well. There was lots of ppl but everyone was respectful of each other privacy and kept social distance. Kids of course were happy to just have their imagination run wild.
