- Lauren Wironen★★★★★
Beautiful gem tucked in the grounds of the water treatment plant. Amazing bird watching. Great local flora. Well maintained trails (mostly soft surface).

Beautiful place for bird watching in every season. Now in July we saw lots of common terns and black skimmers (they are as noisy as monkeys), various species of ducks, some snowy egrets, double-crested cormorants, black-necked stilts, coots, and two couples of western grebes. Hummingbirds, mourning doves, Canada geese, sparrows, bunnies do not count 😃 it is an amazingly quiet, secluded place hidden in the urban environment. It is perfect for walks, and great for bird watchers and wild life lovers.
