Amazing place to watch birds, especially in the spring months. I was blessed to see about 10 different species. There are areas where you can watch birds on close. Very nice trails full of different beautiful trees but very few benches around. No bathroom at all so if you have kids it might be little difficult for them. I saw deers there too . It s a pretty place for enjoying nature and tranquility. It s free and many places for parking.

This dog park is a joy. There is plenty of parking. The gates are easy to maneuver and the grounds are very clean. It has two bathrooms also kept very clean. The dogs have many areas to run and play with other dogs or be alone in the wilderness far from traffic. There are also picnic tables so you can make a whole day at this beautiful Wolf Forest dog park.

As you can see I did visit this place in winter and can talk about it't winter view, it is a nice place for a quick an hour walk, however you do not find yourself totally in the nature, there are some commercial buildings always visible. I think altogether is OK but it does not call for a revisit.
