What makes it 89% Solo-Friendly: The park’s long shaded trails, free bird-watch routes and quiet cafés give solo visitors safe exercise and nature-photography spots, but sparse security and lighting make late hours less ideal.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Enough time to circle the lakes, spot birds, and rest at the café.

Tip: Bring binoculars and arrive by 9:00 for best sightings.
