Small, peaceful park centered on a pond and ancient burr oak trees (150–200 yrs). Excellent for intimate nature, bird and seasonal-tree shots; benches, a pavilion and short trails make composition easy. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light on the oaks and low-angle reflections; spring for migrants and breeding birds, fall for color. Weekday mornings are quiet. On-site restroom and picnic shelter; small parking area/roadside parking. No alcohol without permit.
