There is an easy walking trail with really nice landscaping and scenery. There are also picnic tables and a spray pad for the kids in warmer weather. **Caution** Please do not visit this park after dusk. As with most cities in the US there have been some unfortunate events at night, but it is perfectly safe during daylight hours.
