This place is fantastic. Wide, well-maintained trails, very few spots to cross traffic (they are well marked) and the paths are easy to customize your own route. Terrific for new cyclists.

This is great for a "chose your own adventure" walk/run, since the parks connect. It's easy to shorten or lengthen. Slight inclines, nice scenery, and lots of birds to see.

Nice park with benches and a great pond with ducks and turtles. The path is paved for walking or biking.
