Small, well-maintained park with wooded loops, a floating dock and fishing ponds—great for intimate landscape, waterscape and wildlife shots (waterfowl, turtles). Trails are short and mostly easy; signage can be confusing so download a map. Free entry and parking; restrooms and a water refill station at the north building. Best in spring/summer for wildlife, fall for foliage; visit at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and fewer people. Bring bug spray and mid-telephoto for birds.
