Peaceful and a good way to get away and out of the house. Me and baby went to go feed the ducks 🦆 it was a nice little experience. We walked around the walking route. Great place to clear your mind and restart your day or start your day.
Most people here are regulars and have been for years. So many people that come here are friendly, warm and inviting. The park is small, so it's not intimidating to make a circuit around. I can go around 2-3 times and not feel lost or overwhelmed. Great to come in the mornings around 7-9am.
Resident ducks and geese make it quite the interesting experience though. They leave you alone usually, but every once in a while, they have their bad days too. Everything is a case to case, day to day basis. Just have to come and see for yourself to find out!
The park’s concept is stunning. A thoughtful layout is appreciated, however, the cleanliness of this location falls short. I am not blaming the park, but more so, the park goers that fail to clean up after themselves. Just take it home with you if there’s no space left in the receptacles. As you can see, the animals are living in this trash, and this was me photographing the ones that were near the least amount of trash.
Oddly enough, someone was picking up a duckling out of the pond alcove area. Not sure what was happening there as a group started to gather round. Wouldn’t be shocked if this park’s allowed behaviors added to any complications of that duckling.
Overall, I see potential. Do what is right by the living animals, the veterans memorial, and honor the nextdoor graveyard by ensuring your park is clean of litter.
Great park with water attractions near it! Nice fishing spot, though it doesn't seem to have a lot of bigger fish in it. Just some small perch near the docks. Some picnic areas, benches, grills, and public restrooms there too.
However, if you go during an event either at the park or the aquatic center, parking is limited. People park behind the parking spaces, near the curb, making it difficult to get out.
Nice moderately clean park my kids loved seeing the ducks and turtles in the lake pond we will definitely be back also has very nice and spacious picnic areas with the tables we're clean but w ducks around no chance so bring a table cloth for sure lol!
