Personal Experience
I was really surprised by how huge this park was and how beautiful! I’ve been twice now and both times it’s been filled with people enjoying their day. We originally came here for the secret garden but quickly discovered there is so much more to do. The urban forest is a beautiful, shaded path that leads to the secret garden.
There are also two lakes with many migratory birds to watch. They also have an epic playground if you have a little one! There are multiple restaurants on site and it is VERY kid and dog friendly!
