Always a Great place for family n walking, exercise, etc. Miles of walking trails. There's a walking trail towards back of park that goes down to the river. There's plenty of playgrounds and picnic areas. Plenty of ponds with duck n geese:, fishing allowed (no license required for age 15 and under: last time I checked; pls check) Also, There's a Japanese garden (pay entrance ) very Beautiful trees, Coy pond bridge, ponds, flowers, Coy and other fish. Very Relaxing: great for meditation. Inside Japanese Garden you will see a tiny old Tea House original brought from Japan. There is an Ampatheatre where concerts are held year round. On the west side of park there is a BMX bike track. On the east entrance of park the is the Art of Life Healing Garden.
