This park is a really wonderful place! Been coming here a long time now. Clean and Plenty of trails to run/walk or bicycle on. Playground, row boat rental on the lake, no houses to see so it's private/romantic time. You can fish in the park. You just have to make sure you have your freshwater license.

I recommend this to anyone that just wants to relax and look at nature and birds and all and...

There are trails too that people use for hiking & running through the more woodsey parks. Lots of wildlife, lots of history, and believe it or not, swans can bite! If you want to feed the waterfowl, please please please do not feed them bread of any kind. It messes with their nutritional needs and can cause serious disabling deformities known as angel wing.
