Winding walking trails next to the water. A lot of bikers, but the trail is really wide, so there no issues with spacing. Beautiful views of the creek.

Diamonds- playgrounds-volleyball-picnic areas-ample parking-walking and hiking trails-at least 6 bridges across the winding creek-not fully accessible right now due to the recent heavy ☔ that fell last week. Not too crowded usually and a relaxing place to walk-bike-picnic-play.

Super luxe park with lotsof baseball fields. Loads of wildlife up in here. Seen a beaver and some deer. Appears that all these parks are connected by a trail. Can't wait to see the rest!
