Small urban preserve with meandering trails, a pond and marshy boardwalks—great for intimate landscape, water-reflection and bird photography. Best at golden hour and misty mornings for soft light and reflections; spring and fall yield migratory birds and wildflowers or vivid foliage. Easy, flat trails; street or small lot parking near 425 W Hamilton St. No entry fee; respect local wildlife and nearby Oberlin College grounds.
