I grew up in this neighborhood and up until recently "the rock," as we kids called it, was a hidden gem. I'm glad the city is taking care of it because for a few years it was covered in graffiti.
There are many great spots for photos which my parents took us to year after year. It's adorable to see how we've changed.
Safety is a huge issue here, I remember hearing some horror stories. There's slippery slopes and a long fall from the very top. Be sure to wear some shoes with a good grip to duly enjoy the view!
I've seen deer wandering around sunset and there's a small river nearby which you can follow to the lake. Careful where you park as the hill has limited sight distance. Have fun!
