Walking trails, fishing ponds abound in a very unexpected urban area! You'll be surprised to see and feel so much nature!

This is listed elsewhere, and it deserves a spot here. This is a family friendly place with easy paths to walk. There is a big pond. You will see ducks and often deer. There is a children’s playground with everything made from wood (a crooked bridge, a stage, logs to leap on and off). They usually have a story walk too. There are pages from a story that was written by (usually) children. Just follow the path and you will follow the plot. 😃

Go outside here. It's lovely all year, you can park on the street, it's big, and there's a nature play space for the kids.
