Small riverside park with meandering trails, wetland boardwalks, native prairie and Iowa River views — great for intimate landscape and waterscape shots, seasonal color and birdlife. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-lighting and reflections; spring brings fresh greens and migratory birds, fall offers foliage. Free entry, roadside parking on St. Patricks Dr; flat, mostly accessible trails and short boardwalks. Weekday mornings are quieter.
