What parents say
"A large beautiful park with many different sections, things to do, things to see, places to sit and pavilions to have gatherings in. The landscaping and plants were beautiful and brought all sorts of wildlife to the area. It was a beautiful way to stroll and then sit on a bench and relax and enjoy the beautiful plants and water as the sun was setting."

"Went here for a walk for a break from the long drive home and was pleased with how nice the walking paths were and the available parking. There were a good amount of people out despite the cold weather and it seemed to be near a college based on most of their ages. There are several old buildings in the park but I didn't have the time to stop by many of them or know what they were. Would definitely walk there again if in the area."
