This is a really cool place to walk around and take some pictures and enjoy the views around it. It's very pretty, I like the waterfalls and the sculptures that it has also there is a lot of cool plants, flowers and trees along the sidewalk.... I like that there are a lot of nice places and things around Idaho Falls to enjoy and visit. I THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MADE THIS HAPPEN AND FOR ALL THEIR EFFORTS AND HARD WORK TO KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL...
