What a beautiful park! Small but full of things to do like fishing, boats, BBQ, dog park , nice gazebo near waterfall. Very quiet and enjoyable. Never any rowdy crowds and police are patrolling ALL the time. Public restrooms are maintained well!!!! Enjoy!

I love this park, it has beautiful ambience, my only complaint would be the people that go to this park. Half the people are friendly and the other half are just plain racist. There hasn't been one time that my husband and I have gone with our son without getting looks of disgust, like we shouldn't be there or shouldn't even exist. If you're anything but white, I suggest you keep that in mind if you do visit this park.

Lovely park for sitting and chatting or for a quick stroll in nice weather. Beautiful wildlife in abundance, from chipmunks 🐿, groundhogs, beavers 🦫, and beautiful big birds 🐦.

Dog park is expansive with seperate area for small dogs. Fishing is fun arojnd the lake. Lots of amenities. Paddle boat rentals and trails. Public restrooms were clean! People do drive through the park at high speeds since it's a connector road so just be careful to stay on the sidewalks and look both ways. Wonderful local park!
