The park is beautiful, but 3 of us saw signs by the dump that the park closed at 6:00, so we agreed to go the following week after work, which we did. Apparently, they changed their hours, because the park ranger told us to leave. No problem, and we were all polite (telling him we thought the park closed at 6:00), and then he got very rude for no reason. He was abrupt, angry, and said we were TRESPASSING! There was no need for that. The 3 of us are all elderly and polite. We were all shocked how rude this park staff was. He should surely be reprimanded, if his boss saw his behavior.

The view from atop the hill is excellent you can see for miles in every direction. A road runs around the base of the hill along which there are several parking areas, and one including direct access to the playground area. Access to the top of the hill is by foot only. This is a great place to walk the dogs too. This would be a great park to have...
