I have fond memories of this park. I even got engaged here. Beautiful garden area during the summer months and during Christmas they have a great lights display. I would recommend that you don't go by yourself at night though.

I will say I almost never run into anyone from park maintenance but it is always well-maintained so not sure how they manage that. I will also say some of the best pieces of the park are not on the main trail. They have a few off-shoot trails if you walk towards the gazebo at the Garden Center. Do some exploring and walk those trails. Definitely, a really nice area that most people do not go up into. While I don't play pickleball they do have some newer courts and the people who do play on them say they are pretty nice and well lit even at night. The main walking path is not well-lit though and can often have a lot of dark hiding spots at night for someone who maybe doesn't wish you well. So as mentioned earlier make sure you are careful if you plan to walk or hike at night. Otherwise beautiful park and it is a great place to spend some time and get in some exercise.
