I was a little disappointed in this park. Lots of raves about it and I found it to be "substandard". Lots of dog walkers here that do pick up after their dog but then throw the bags right on the trails! If you have extra time it is pretty!

Be sure to walk around; we missed a great feature of this area initially because we entered through the right side of the park.
