The park has been redone. There is now a paved parking lot with accessible parking spaces. Two pots potties, one was wheelchair accessible. I wouldn't count on the ports potties always being there. Trails are natural surface and mostly flat. Short trail

The wildlife area is great for view turtles and ducks. Not much to see though. The trail leads west to 2 abandoned baseball field.

Today was the first time I’ve ever been to this wildlife nature park. It’s a nice little get away. You get to walk through a wooded area around the pond. Not sure I saw the whole park though. As we were walking around the park from North to South, I also saw another pond. We chose not to go over there bc two gentlemen were there enjoying the peace and quiet. Not a long distance to walk all the way around the front pond. So, if you’re not much of a walker, this would be a nice place to start. They have a huge gazebo, a sanded area with logs to just sit and hang out. There’s a path that you can take to walk out on a pier. Seemed to be a place where people wanted to come and be quiet. Course could be I just hit it on a Monday after work 😂

This is one of our families favorite walking spots. There are always ducks and geese. Sometimes we get lucky and see the stork and beaver. Its beautiful in any of the 4 seasons, and very kid friendly. My almost 3 year old LOVES coming here :)

It's a wildlife refuge and so dogs are not allowed.

Are trails accessible for disabled people?

Patricia Mohr | Aug 17, 2018

The parking part of the park is all disabled friendly with all the sidewalks having ramps. Some trails are wood planks ( like to get down to the dock overlooking the pond ) while others are fine gravel. Ther are stairs lead in to the gazebo but they do have handrails. I can't honestly say if the trails are wheelchair friendly but ( I think ) a motorized one or one with assistance would be alright. Feel free to ask any more specific questions.
