This is one of my hubby's favorite places to walk in the woods. I've come with him a couple of…read moretimes and I enjoy it too. There are various trails and offshoots to explore on. There is a body of drinking water that the town uses for its water but the trails are not super close to it. For a bit of one, you can walk near it and the views are pretty. We saw a cool bird near the water - but couldn't tell what it was. It seems like there are some swampy areas so be prepared for the bugs and don't forget to always check for ticks. They're really bad this year!

So we parked in the connected lot which was super convenient... The city was serving lunch as we got there & we were offered, but we did not parktake in it... I think its a great idea to give the kids free lunch during the summer. The park was packed & I think it might have been because it was lunch time and being that they do offer free lunch... All the Treehouse like structure thingys are all a little too big for my 2 year old...He did climb one once with the assistance of the 12 year old that was with us... None of the structures had stairs to climb up (just one little section), most of the methods of climbing up were ladders or chains, and that just doesnt work for my little one... If he was a bit older this would be a perfect park, and possibly if we came at a different time or maybe after summer. Because it was PACKED! We only stayed a short time!
