We visited the wetlands because we were curious what it would be like. It was a good thing that I used google maps directions because I would never have figured the entrance into the park was gravel. That said although the parking area was gravel it was well manicured. We got there around 11:00 AM and it was already warm so I felt fortunate I could park under a tree. We were the only car in the parking area.
The path’s are gravel as well. There is a aesthetically pleasing covered area that gives historical information regarding water in the area. It was set up so one could take their time reading the displays. Throughout the park there were areas of interest as well as a amphitheater that holds quite a few people. The park is set up so schools can have field trips to the park and learn about the wetlands. The amphitheater obviously is set up for school children to sit and learn. There are a lot of trees and shrubs as well as an area where there are picnic tables. Again perfect for an eating area for the students that are there on a field trip. We saw some ducks in the pond. What was interesting was what appeared to be algae covering the water. The ponds are recycled water. There is no fishing in the ponds. Overall it was a decent visit and worth...

My only pet peeve was seeing evidence of 'baby reveals' as well as cigarette butts not far from the office building near the pond. Otherwise a...
Read moreThis place was amazing! I believe it is considered a wetland... Park!?
It is a super nice walk filled with the sound of birds, wrestling winds alongside tall grasses and water.
There are signs that have some educational information about the ecosystem of the area, a big metal dome containing lots of facts about the environment, an old-school theater filled with shade for resting, a few small wooden bridges, and some eco chambers.
Ducks, turtles, and frogs can be seen resting as well. It is such a relaxing place.
So many great spots for amazing photos.
A very tranquil place.
I think a loop around the park is about a mile or so. The parking is...
