I love this park.

Learned about this park through my job. There are tons of wonderful picnic areas throughout this park (upper and lower). Areas have two separate entry points, connected only through hiking (as far as I can tell). Entry is $3 to park your car (and to help park upkeep).

Lower part of park is lower elevation but is actually northern on the maps in picture. Lower was much quieter and more grassy area with lots of trees and picnic tables. Almost all if not all picnic areas had bbq grills for use. The picnic tables tended to cluster around the perimeter of the lower park near and around trees. Area has a lot more quiet grassy expanse for getting in touch with nature, two small bodies of water aerated by two fountains for that nice water sound to relax to, some duckies, a butterfly garden (pictured with a nice passion fruit trellis with fruits), and plenty of parking. Lower park also has a gazebo (although the grass around it is slated and may be too spongy to be a good walk in white dresses). Very nice relaxing part of the park.

Upper part of park is higher elevation but actually southern on the maps. Upper park is more recreation area with multiple playgrounds for little kids, a scout cabin, a sports court, lots of picnic tables underneath fabric covering (what my company uses for department meetings). Lots of restrooms, relatively clean. Some normal gazebos with some BBQ grills. Picnic areas are spread out so it is possible to get away from playground sounds and other gatherings but not as much as lower park. Plenty of parking near the recreational areas and away. Still a good area to relax in nature.

In-between the parks are some nice sand lined hiking trails with look out points and suspension bridges. Not as much coverage from the sun. Lookout points gave a nice view of the lower park and all around the park. Enjoyed the trek from upper to lower park, not sure if I hit all the hiking trails this county park had to offer.

The park also has a fitness hike (fitness bars etc) located around the whole county park that has its own map provided in the upper park entrance kiosk (unsure if lower park has a kiosk). And also a scavenger hunt map for kiddos and kiddos at heart (map found in upper kiosk).

Good mix of trail and recreation park, and definitely a great walk for young and older kids, for dogs of all sizes and energy, and for adults wanting some hiking and nature connection without committing to longer hikes.
