Small riverside park with marshy ponds, boardwalks, mature oaks and views of prairie hills—great for intimate landscape, waterscape and bird photography. Easy street parking and flat paths make gear carry simple; generally open to public with no entry fee. Best light at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light on reeds and long reflections; spring and fall bring migrants and color. Weekday mornings offer the fewest visitors.
