Small town park with lawns, mature trees, a pond and walking paths — good for seasonal color, reflections and intimate landscape compositions. Easily accessible off N Michigan St with free parking; no entry fee. Best at golden hour for warm light and pond reflections, or after rain for saturated colors. Weekday mornings offer quiet scenes; winter brings stark lines and low sun. Facilities are basic, so pack minimal gear and a tripod for low-light shots.
