Love coming here to walk and play Pokémon go. The scenery is beautiful and I usually encounter some really nice people. Great place to come just to be outside and soak it all in. Highly recommend as a place to walk/bike/roller blade etc.

The botanical varieties are worth the price of admission, but couple that with the Delicate Forces display and it is a feast for the eyes.
