"One of the best hiking trails for bicycling, horse riding or just walking by! But need to be careful of some reptiles and wild animals you may encounter by luck!"

"For a Park that sits kind of in the middle of a city one would not really know it was so...if not for the occasional sound of traffic. At least you can't see traffic, but you can hear it. It's not enough to stop me from visiting every day tho! If I could help this great little treasure in any way, I would encourage everyone to pick up after your pet, and kids, that no matter how small you may think the "mess" is...it's NEVER pleasant to try getting poo out of the waffle tread on the bottom of shoes...so please nature lovers, take a moment to pick it up. (They provide really good bags for us!)"
