It is a beautiful place to enjoy a walk with the family, breathe fresh air, listen to the sound of birds... I love nature

Excellent park to relax or exercise. It has two tubular gyms, a dog park, soccer fields, restrooms, gazebos, a 2-mile trail for jogging or walking, and a beautiful lake in the center with lots of ducks, some fountains, and benches. Remember to deposit the garbage in the cans.

Which shelters are wheelchair accessible?

Miss April Nola (Nuttie Foodie) | Sep 30, 2020
Jeanine Mendel | Sep 30, 2020

Most, if not all shelters are surrounded by grass. You can use a wheelchair to get to one of them, it would be harder to push on the grass.
