Very picturesque for a walk, run or bike.
I try to spend a little time here each year just to stroll and watch the river traffic go by. I find it very relaxing compared to the busy streets all around it. The traffic is slower, the people passing you by are much nicer and there can be allot to see. The city has done a nice job adding flowers in spots and keeping it clean.
Make it a fun day and rent a bike for a pleasant ride.
