General Information
This is more of a city park than a real outdoor preserve meant for hiking in real wilderness and true outdoors. But nevertheless, it is a loved and cared for park with many events like festivals and children activities.
Plus, it is a few miles in circumference, so it can make for some nice strolls here and there, or walking with your dog.
