    Such a petty walking or relaxing park. Plenty of pathways to walk, benches and has to sit. The sounds of water with the little creeks open to pond. There is a butterfly garden with a variety of bushes and flowers and the pond has ducks and a gazebo top take in the views.

    What a Beautiful park so close to State Street! Wonderful paths surrounded by nature. A pond with ducks & turtles is sweet. The trees and flowers unique and so pretty. We discovered it in the Fall , and I can only imagine how much more beautiful it would be in Spring!! Perfect place for a picnic or stroll.
