I've really come to love this park. It is a very large park and there are a lot of events that go on. People though..geez. Do not pick up their trash after parties and events. I volunteer here every once in a while to pick up trash and they are a lot of local people including some homeless people that keep the park clean. There is a lot of beautiful wildlife including large geese and ducks. People, bread is bad for them! There is no nutritional value in bread, so pick up some seed or something healthy for them before feeding the ducks. You can fish here and it is a very calming, relaxing area to do it, especially very early in the morning. They do have park police in the park, but never really see them around. So, not exactly sure what they do there other than park their cars there. There has been a lot of crime at the park including a murder and some shootings that just happened. Just be careful. It can happen anywhere, but just be careful.
There is a splash pad and a ton of nice playgrounds to pick from for the kiddos. Plan on getting to the park early for a spot to relax near the splash pad during the summer. Also, some of the areas for picnics can be reserved, otherwise it is first come first serve.
Overall beautiful park, lets just keep it clean and safe so we all can enjoy it.
