My husband and I go for walks and bike rides here almost daily. We love this park. It's absolutely beautiful, no matter the time of year, or even time of day. Parking is always fairly easy even if you just turn down any of the streets, because, especially parking on Downing, it can be a bit scary getting in and out of the drivers side due to the pretty constant traffic whooshing by, usually, unfortunately, speeding. There are always people walking their dogs here, so it's great for that. Also, pretty consistent basketball games going on, so those looking for those activities, obviously those are plusses. And last, but certainly not least, especially with the lack of public restrooms available inside most gas stations or any businesses, there are many port-o-pottys scattered throughout the park. And they are VERY CLEAN for the most part. I've only seen one or two be funky ever, and never really seems to be the constant barrage of people harassing you while you're inside like they do at other parks in the area. Also, send to be less rampant drug use here as well. As a whole, this is a beautiful, clean, mature landscaped park with something for everyone to enjoy.
