Small, accessible nature preserve with ponds, wetlands, mixed prairie and tree-lined trails — excellent for photographing water reflections, songbirds, migrating waterfowl and intimate landscape scenes. Best at golden hour and dawn for low light and active birds. Park is free with roadside/lot parking at 121 Fulton Ave; trails are easy but bring insect repellent in warmer months. Weekdays and early mornings offer the fewest people. Seasonal color peaks in spring (wildflowers) and fall.
