A great place for photographers; on the Sunday morning that we were there I have never seen so many people wandering around with long lenses on their cameras. Many birds winter here and many more are residents. It was surprising how some of the birds, including great egrets and great blue herons let people get close. One heron was so near that he filled the camera frame with a 200mm lens and I couldn't get his full reflection in too. Those with patience and time take a stool and wait for wildlife to get close or do something interesting.
This is a big park with miles of trails, lots of ponds and fields plus brushy areas. It is open to dogs (on leashes), bicyclists, etc. but is big enough to accommodate all; though dogs do scare some of the wildlife away.
