"This place has 2 trails, Meadow Trail and White Tail Loop. Very easy graveled paths. There is a pond overlook off of White Tail Loop. The pond was nothing special to look at though. It was covered algae"

"This park is tucked in and very secluded but I loved the serenity of it! Nice walking paths and well maintained. Liked watching the tadpoles in the ponds and even saw a few deer. Also, lots of pretty flowers growing (I visited 5/29). Highly recommended to anyone who wants a little slice of heaven in their day."

"Beautiful little park. One trail leads to a small pond, the other around the woods. Also, keep an eye out for deer, rabbits and other woodland creatures on the trail. First picture is of the restrooms, visible as soon as you come to the park."

"This park is gorgeous! The main walking path is shaded & there's a beautiful pond view. The kids playing area is unique with a cool rock climbing structure for much older kids (full sun) & a tunnel. We're so lucky to have Preservation Parks in Delaware County ♥️"
