Small open-space preserve of prairie, cottonwoods and a series of ponds and channels — good for wide landscape panoramas, intimate wetland bird portraits and seasonal color (spring green-up, summer marsh life, golden fall). Easy access from Sauvignon St with informal parking; no fee. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and possible morning mist; weekdays and early mornings minimize people. Trails are flat and accessible; bring bug protection in summer.
