Small mixed-forest park with shaded trails, fern-carpeted understory and pockets of creek/wetland—great for intimate nature scenes, seasonal colors and birdlife. No fee; small parking lot off Benton Ave. Best at golden hour or after rain for saturated greens; weekdays are quieter. Some trails are unpaved and can be muddy; leash rules apply.
