I’ve been in love with this park since high school. I recommend getting the yearly pass. It’s a wonderful place to get away from the city life. Great place to practice nature photography, along with portraits. They have an indoor restroom on both sides of the park. They’re available during business hours. With porta potties located along the main road. They supply kayaks to rent for a budget friendly cost. Along with having an accessible ramp to bring your own. I find the location to be clean, compared to other parks. There’s a few trash cans accessible, yet hard to find. Recommend going during the week, due to weekends being heavily populated. The trails, I’ve never seen to busy. Plan to stay a few hours & to get lost & find yourself.
LOVED this walk but rated it low because I wish there were more accessibility signs and trails. We have an infant so we were pushing the stroller along the blue trail which started out great but I wish there was a sign halfway to turn around because you can’t get back up to the parking lot on one side it’s rocky (we were able to carry the stroller/car seat separately up the hill but it’s not for the weak 🤪). Otherwise we enjoyed the walk & pelicans.
Lovely place for hiking within the city! Visiting the park was a truly delightful experience, filled with natural beauty and tranquility. The trails were well-maintained, offering a pleasant walk for all skill levels. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities, from bird watching to simply relaxing by the water. The park's cleanliness and overall atmosphere created a welcoming environment for everyone. I would highly recommend a visit to anyone seeking a refreshing escape in nature.
Come here frequently for paddle boarding and it's always an enjoyable time. They have a great area for loading in your boat and even a small dock to temporarily rope up. I appreciate that there are speed limit for boats and that there are safety boats in the resvior. It's also pretty decent for fishing, not the best but still fun.
A very nice park! We saw a raccoon who was getting in to the trash, and the birds in the sanctuary were quick active! LOVED the buzzard gal! I wish I could remember her name. She was so curious!
