I recently had my wedding here and it was perfect!! The gardens are beautiful and well kept. The pavilion is nice, there are outlets, trash and recycling, and 4 large picnic tables. The grill is rusted out on the bottom.The bathrooms are sub par.

Gorgeous trail and memorial with outdoor exercise equipment that is accessible to the public. It does have a lot of foot and bike traffic, even in the cooler months.

An interesting memorial that is in a nested location by the MKT trail entrance. Clean and [unfortunately] not well maintained as far as shrubbery goes😞. I expected a bit more maintenance and this was a bit of a let down. I enjoyed reading the quotes and this is a nice place to meet up, host a small event, or spend time with family since there is a picnic area with tables, and grill - roofed as well.
