Small urban park with wooded ravines, winding trails and a creek — good for intimate nature and landscape shots, seasonal color and long-exposure waterscape work. Easily reached from Kirkwood with street or small lot parking; no entry fee. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light and fewer visitors; fall brings vivid foliage and winter offers stark compositions. Trails are uneven; wear hiking shoes and expect some uphill sections.
