Floyd Lamb is fast becoming my go to morning walk spot since I have moved across the valley. I have been walking here now for a couple of months and I really enjoy the walk as I have been able to watch the seasons transform the trees from autumn, to the winter (and even made it out here in the snow) and now the trees and brush are starting to show signs of spring. Cannot wait to see what it looks like when everything is blooming.

Now it must be said the interior of the park is a fee area, and you do have to pay to get in. I opted to buy the yearly pass as it made sense with how often I do go. My husband and I qualified for the senior pass, one of the few true perks of getting older.

Anyways the park is beautiful. There are several areas within the park of interest. The historic rest area with the buildings and the placards which identify and explain. The peacocks that typically roam this area. Then the further in you drive there are 5 ponds and sidewalks that meander through leading to many picnic tables, benches and vignettes to simply admire the many different types of birds that live here, as well as the ones that migrate through depending on the season.

There is also fishing available in the ponds with a limit of 3 fish per day. 5 parking areas provide more than enough parking. I will add a caveat here as I have not been here in summer on a consistent basis as of this writing so I can not speak to how the parking situation would be then.

Plenty of bathrooms that seem to be well kept.

There are also 2 separate walking loops that I am slowly becoming more and more familiar with. The north loop and the south loop. The north loop is the less travelled of the 2 mostly because it isn't accessible easily from the housing areas that surround the park.

The south loop is definitely the more travelled of the 2 as it has access points within a couple of the surrounding neighborhood as well as a parking area of of Racel that provide easy access without the fee. You just have to walk over a mile to get into the pond area.

Both loops provide for a lot of wildlife viewing in the form of quail, rabbits ground squirrels and according to the signs burrowing owls that will be out sometime in March. You will also encounter the occasional coyote as the aforementioned animals are basically what they eat. You will also see the occasional hawk for the same reason. So tiny pets can be at risk.

I would definitely recommend coming and checking out the park. Pack a picnic and grab a couple of folding chairs and just enjoy a quiet day pond side watching the birds and enjoying some quiet time in nature or going on a long walk.
