I take 23 to 26 kids every summer for field trips. The kids love the new renovated play area...tons of natural climbing items..creeks..an old fashion water pump. Them you can go inside where theres animal costumes and puppets. A store. Some live animals like turtles...bees...reptiles. Then take a hike along the trails. Itll definitely wear the kids out. Educational and yet lots of fun

Love this place. Feels like youre away from the city. Great trails for walking, good for strollers too. We love to go play at the super cool and unconventional park area after a trail walk. My boys come up with all sorts of make believe games to play at the park there.

Genuine nature experience in an urban area. Interpretive center is beautiful with up-close viewing of reptiles and amphibians. Recently built outdoor kids play space is a unique nature-oriented playgroud which, if the way the kids look is any indicator, is a blast!

The people are awesome, well informed and love sharing their knowledge. You can buy indigenous plants, local honey, they have guided walks... its great!!!! It is a watershed area. So, they do not welcome pets on the trails. A bummer, but standard for watersheds.

Nice nature walk and clear path. Enjoyed the discovery pond and the nature trail. Will definitely visit again and try a different path. Multiple paths for different "skill levels". Youll enjoy this serene and peaceful opportunity.

Great play area for kids. The play equipment is made of concrete, so adults can play on it, too. The nature trail is quick and easy. My little one had fun running down the side tracks to see where they went.

In the city park where you feel like youre away from everything. Wonderful trails through forest, nice changes of elevation. Convenient parking. Free admission. Easy access off 16

I love this place. Best place to go for a walk and get a little fresh air in the city. Has a nature center for the kids, walking and running trails for all ages. Its a must see.

Nice place in the middle of the city for a walk or run. Decent trails, although there is lots of traffic noise due to the park being hemmed in by roads.

Great hiking area. Some litter but thats sadly to be expected. Kids area was fairly well maintained. Big open area for the kids to play.

Great for spending some time with the kids. Easy walking, wildlife and points of interest with explanation for the little ones.

Easy hike with good views, but the highway or commercial buildings are almost always in sight. Its a strange contrast

Nicely kept trails with way too many signs everywhere telling you to mind your manners. Not a dog friendly park.
