I love the Dennis Johnston trails! So beautiful, lush with greenery, makes you feel completely removed from the city. The trails are well maintained and the community parks along the trails so appealing for family activities. Absolutely my favorite place! Dog parks too!

This will become one of your favorite parks. It's worth loading up the kids, the bikes, the dogs and food to spend a couple...
