Ashawa Park
Small suburban park with mixed woods, a pond/wetland edge and paved trails — good for intimate nature, seasonal color and birdlife. No entry fee; small parking lot off Waterford Dr. Accessible paved paths and boardwalks make low-light shooting easier. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; spring and fall offer peak color. Weekday mornings are quiet for wildlife and long exposures at the water.
