Henry W. Seale Park — Attraction in Palo Alto

I often housesit in this area and I fully enjoy spending time at this park. It is not small, nor is it large, but instead it is a nice size that allows a variety of activities: nice playground for kids, shaded picnic tables, open green space, and a great place to snap some beautiful pictures if you are interested in nature pictures.

I'm not sure about parking it seem to be a little difficult but I came here early in the morning and...
