The trails were not exactly maintained but not neglected either. There seems to be a bridge missing and a tree down on the trail but my son thought that made it more fun. There are a lot of beautiful found trees and a variety of birds and flowers. We also found a heart! Unfortunately we were followed by someone clearly on drugs who kept crossing our path and when we left we found him hiding in the bushes by the paved road. We didn't feel safe and I won't go back without another adult just in case.

Nice wooded area in the metro area. Main trail heads are not well marked. There are many "unofficial" trails. Creek crossing could be improved.

Nice wooded area for a walk, my dog loved the little creek. Several partly shaded areas for a picnic and playgrounds for kids.

Really clean and we'll maintained park. We went in late September and was nice. Also had a private gazebo to rent. Had clean bathrooms and water spigots. Trails that we found weren't very long but they were easy going.

I'm not aware of any restrictions in the US for using a metal detector on public grounds. I would say go for it.

Who do you contact to get someone to spray a big wasp nest on the playground?

Well the city parks and rec. Or city hall but you can also around 5or 6pm take a spray bottle with water and dish soap mixed well and spray the hell out of it. That does kill them
