Park pond steals the show

Squirrel
While the park does not provide a wilderness experience the park does contain lots of wildlife, of a sort. Squirrels and birds are in abundance within the park boundaries.

Comments: Not really a destination that folks living far from the park may choose. The park provides lots of recreational amenties, but the trail does not provide what many would term hiking. However, the area around the park's pond is very nice and so the park provides a great place to go for an evening stroll with a stop by the pond to watch the birds and squirrels.
