Small urban wetlands with creek channels, boardwalks, open meadow and mixed forest — great for intimate nature scenes, birdlife, reflections and seasonal moods (fog, spring wildflowers). No entry fee; small parking lot off San Francisco Ave NE. Best at golden hour or misty mornings for soft light and reflections; weekdays and early mornings reduce foot traffic. Trails are mostly flat and stroller-friendly; bring insect repellent in summer.
