We visited this park for the first time in June in the morning. It wasn't crowded, mostly people fishing, some dog walkers, a few other families. I thought the grounds were clean and well taken care of. There's lots of geese and ducks so yes, there will be poop. Watch your step. We enjoyed wandering the paved paths around the ponds and watching the peacocks. I wouldn't come here later in summer, I bet those still areas in the ponds are mosquito heaven. Lovely park and we will be back. Only complaint is the lack of trash cans. I only saw two in our time there and imagine the trash piles up after a busy day.
