I love this park! Variety of activities available for my older (13) and younger kiddos (1.5).. beautiful overall and a lovely not so little pond to walk around with various benches to sit in and watch the ducks. 😊

Small but nice park with some fantastic views this time of year. Some areas to walk, take a seat, a playground, and a bit of space to relax.

I packed a picnic lunch in celebration of my sister's 63 birthday. We found a large picnic table under lots of shade near the pond and in view of the ducks and the mountains. The beautiful scenery added to the tranquility of this neighborhood park. We left rested, refreshed, and made lasting memories.
