just wished there was a better transition from the play area to the water. If you have a stroller or wheel chair, you have to walk all the way around from the top of the park near the parking lot on a gravel trail to the water. Not very thoughtful for the handicapped or families with strollers. We navigated down the stairs with our stroller which was very awkward.

With all the ducks around there is poop on the pathway, but there is someone that comes to clean it off as much as possible. I appreciate that they have signs posted asking people not to feed the ducks bread. I did not look for the food though, maybe next time. There is a nice place to walk and eventhough it's near a road it is not overly noisy. I saw lots of mom's with kids to come see the ducks and squirrels playing around.
