New found place for us. We love it and have been twice in the past 2 weeks. Nice waterfall, walking trails, and picnic spots. PLENTY of koi fish and turtles in the ponds. It's just a WONDERFUL experience right in the middle of our city!!

Very peaceful area. Lots of walking to see beautiful things. They have a area where they have big fishes and they have LOTS of turtles. Bring your walking shoes

Dog needs to be kept on a leash if not train or nobody is around but the area is perfect for your dog to get fresh air and lots of open for running area.

This hidden gem is worth mentioning. If you're a local or just passing through. The small hidden trails and water are beautiful. I'll post some pictures when everything is back in bloom.

This place has definitely changed since 2000. Didn't go back until the other day and was pleasantly surprised. Love the trails you can walk and it's very clean. Kid/pet/geocaching friendly. Will go back!

This is a beautiful place to take a walk or just relax by the waterfall. I grew up nearby and seen a remarkable improvement happen here over the years thanks to the hard work of local volunteers.

There aren't really any picnic tables to speak of but I still stop here to eat my lunch on occasion. Please don't leave your trash behind.
