It was a walk of choice, there was steep stone woodland walking trails, along with an easy trail walk with resting boards across the trails up to the tower. Which is super cool. Only had my phone for photos but it really was a breaktaking view from the top of the tower. My walk back seemed like an adventure having choices to take enchanting & inviting off the trail ways weaving around the woods. After reading the reviews I had imagined that the tower would have been a further hike in but I reached it in the first 15 min of a slow pace. A wheel chair couldn't get to the tower but there is a paved path, I would imagine you would need some good muscles to push. 😉 I would visit again with my kids I believe they would enjoy this enchanting park in the middle of the city. Which didn't seem to phase the parks serenity and quiet. It's a smoke free park and dogs must be on a leash.

The park is nice and appears to be well maintained. It is a beautiful place to visit. However I was very disappointed that there were no picnic tables. They have two grills, but no tables at all. My son and I took our lunch to the park with us and we had to find a flat enough rock near the cars for us to sit on while we ate. Also, it would have been nice having a sign at the entrance telling us which path to take to get to the Tower. First time I went, I was using maps on my phone and it made it appear as if I should take the path to the left. Wrong! Other than that, I truly enjoyed my visit to this beautiful park.

This is a great little park not far from downtown Burlington. It has a nice little playground, an open area, trails, and a cool tower that's an easy hike up to the top of the hill in the park. Unfortunately the tower was gated closed when we were there (Nov 2022). Maybe because if weather, working about ice, or maybe COVID? Who knows. Either way, it was a great place to visit. I recommend making the stop if you're in town.

Lovely park for a walk with the dog. The tower at the top of the hill gives a view of all of Burlington and Lake Champlain. Unfortunately, it is closed right now due to the pandemic. But it’s still a great hike up the hill to it and you can still see pretty far from the base of it. There is a modern playground (also closed now) and many wonderful crevices and rock formations that would be great for kids to explore.

Great views, easy to get to. Main paths are paved, but there's a more narrow, steeper trail that will lead to the tower. Definitely go up it and check out the view, it's breathtaking. The tower is also pretty close to the entrance so you don't have to walk through the whole park if you don't want to. The rest of the trail is pretty much just a nice serene walk in the woods.

This place is really beautiful. The tower is closed due to covid but I can’t wait until it’s open again. It’s a short hike up to the tower and board walk. There’s a children’s park at the base of the trail unfortunately some creep was there with a metal detector so we decided to skip that. Wonderful views at the top. A lot of Vermonters I knew hadn’t heard of it.
