  • Be careful when using maps the travel here, google maps got a little confused in the last two turns but I always plan my trips ahead so I had figured the fix out before hand. You wouldn't want to be driving around a neighborhood looking for this park instead of enjoying it There is a pretty good amount of parking here plus extra not to far away on the street outside the park. When I came it was to meet some new people in an amateur photography group and take some photos while getting to know each other. The park is a low to moderate amount of busy so a fairly safe place to meet a group of new friends. There are plenty of bike paths and two lakes to canoe or wakeboard in. All activities in which I saw people being taught that day so I'm assuming there are also lessons in these taught as well. I saw a man and his son fishing so I'm assuming that it is safe to do this. Please don't take my word for this. Fishing requires a license no matter where you do it so please be prepared with what you need before trying that. There are huge, lush, paint easel arrays of green trees lining the paths and the water. It feels as if you are staying in a cabin on the lake. Of course the magic is broken by the one sparse green area on the right just after you pass the building going into the park. This is the one spot that you can see the homes. Also it's not quite like in nature as you can hear fairly loudly the traffic from cars in two different directions. The day I went the fluff off the trees was floating everywhere through the air and it gave a magical look of snow in the summertime. There was a gaggle of Canadian geese and their babies who were just starting to get a little bigger. The babies were quite plump and very happy to waddle around chasing tails and then having mini naps in piles on each other. The momma's were watching the babies while cleaning themselves and picking at food on the ground. Every now and then someone would get too close without being slow and respectful of the fact that they are wild and mothers. The Momma's would hiss at these disrespectful people and come at them. I sat for a very long time within less then a foot of many of the babies and one of the mom's and took pictures and talked to them. They weren't bothered by me because I respect nature and according to an old witch in Mexico I have an ability to calm and speak to animals who am I to argue with her.lol. The smell of the lake was of clean water and I really enjoy the smell of lakes in nature. The wakeboarders and the canoers looked like they were having a lot of fun. The atmosphere of the people in general was positive and calming. A woman stopped and fed the geese some bread. Now this was of course fun to watch but I would caution people not to feed wild animals bread. Grains are bad for people and animals. We can choose to eat food that bad for us if we want but the animals don't know better and it doesn't just cause obesity but it raises their blood sugar levels, causes heart, liver and kidney issues and of course lowers life expectancy. If you feed them then bring items they actually eat. Also feeding the geese will not cause them to stay instead of migrate and every person and animal deserves a fighting chance, so yes let's feed them. Let's not make them ill and obese though. Enough people feed their dogs and cats the wrong food but at least they can go to the vets. Figs are awesome for geese, nuts(of course not salted or processed) have some cabbage left over from making coleslaw and you were going to throw it out? Cut that up and give them it. Lastly you can give them olives. Put free of course and again not the pickles and salted kind but the big natural not processed ones. Acorns are their favorite but I doubt that's easy to get lol. No rice, no bread and especially no corn. Whatever you do feed them and if you insist on very unhealthy bread then please do not throw it in the water. Any in eaten bits will sink to the bottom and can become poison. If you bring small children to this park I would suggest keeping a very close eye on them since there are two lakes and geese will attack if they feel threatened. If you are dating someone and you want to take them somewhere beautiful for a picnic Carburn is a pretty good choice. Overall I would absolutely come back to this park again. I was there to take pictures and meet new people but it was so beautiful and the geese were so cute that I only took twenty pictures and I spent three hours there.
