It’s a nice medium size park with lake! You can walk around the water area or rest under the trees as they have many benches! If you like birds and you’ll enjoy bird watching since there are many ducks and all kinds of birds there! Come and chill! Cheers 🥂

I absolutely adore this park. It’s spacious, lush, and clean. It’s dog-friendly, with a beautiful lake and a variety of geese and other birds. There’s a large picnic area, public restrooms, and a playground for kids. There are also plenty of parking spots available. Occasionally, on weekends and holidays, local musicians perform live music.

This park is my favorite place to hang out with friends and walk my dog. There’s a beautiful picnic area where we enjoy nice walks, especially when the sun comes out. It also has a great playground for children. This park is my go-to spot when I need a peaceful walk or a break. There’s plenty of free parking next to the park, including a parking garage. It’s also surrounded by lots of restaurants...
