The best place to see the river is probably from the bridges across the river, but they are sadly fenced in, because I guess concerns over safety ( whether we are overly protective is another topic :) There are some wildflowers here, but the park is named after the school, which may not have been named due to a massive selection of wildflowers. But there's some butterflies and dragonflies and such, so probably worth bringing a camera in case something catches your fancy.
