    "I had no idea what to expect from this park because driving to it it doesn’t look like much and part of it is still closed. But walking into it it is such a lovely little park. When I went in early October 2025 It wasn’t that busy. The park area is really beautiful. I saw some hard-core dragonfly carnage. On the peaches, they were lovely one felt like a super secret area. And then we saw a lot of birds and I saw birds I haven’t seen before like the black skimmer and I genuinely enjoyed walking around this park."
