What makes it 77% Baby-Friendly: Paved pram paths, shade lawns and free change tables in nearby toilets suit infants; lack of private nursing room and water edges without fencing require extra planning and vigilance.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time for a relaxed stroller walk, shady picnic and baby-friendly breaks without rushing.

Tip: Bring a small pair of binoculars or use your phone camera to capture wildlife quietly.

Spent 3 hours here to admire the huge pine trees and spring flowers, especially the cherry blossoms. The lakeside views were amazing in a sunny Sunday.

Beautiful and easy walk. I did this first thing in the morning to watch the sunrise and it was stunning. Well maintained trails and some big gorgeous trees. There’s a lot of activities, like bowling, tennis, skating and frisbee golf. I didn’t partake in any but it’s awesome that it’s there. It’s a quick walk and the gardens, landscape, and views are worth it!
Spring brings rose blooms; summer needs sun protection and early start to avoid heat; autumn has crisp air ideal for walks.
