Small riverside park on the Rock River offering tree-lined trails, river and bridge views, open lawns and seasonal color — good for intimate landscapes, waterscapes and close nature shots. Easy street parking on N Galena Ave; paths are mostly flat and accessible. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm light on the river, and in fall for foliage. Weekday mornings are quiet; no entry fee.
