Small neighborhood park centered on a pond with a paved loop, wooded trails, playground, dog park and nearby Bear Hollow Zoo. Photographers can capture water reflections, abundant turtles, ducks and occasional herons, plus intimate woodland scenes. Best at golden hour or early morning for calm water and active wildlife. Free entry, parking along Gran Ellen Dr and small lots; accessible paved path around the lake. Weekday mornings have fewer people; bring insect repellent in warm months.
