The path around the pond is shaded most of the day and good for a jog or a walk. Someone marked some distances on the path if that's important to a runner. Families are more likely to come at night and walk around so a morning jog would be less crowded with kids. There are a lot of ducks, but they won't chase or bother you.

I guess I'm just wondering if there's any know...

Some fishing going on but don't know if they were catching anything or what they would be catching. Good place for birding with different varieties of ducks, a pelican, red-winged blackbird. Friend with Merlin app identified eight sounds. Forest Green Park has playground equipment and picnic tables so here you have two different offerings in one location.
