park notes
2,000+ acre nature preserve with a lot to see and do. you can easily spend a whole day here; there are lots of trails good for walking/biking and the park offers bike rental.
the meditation garden, orchid greenhouse and large grass field by the great falls (where I ate a can of sardines and a nectarine) are some of my favorite areas.
they also host events and guided walks to explore the wildlife in the park. it can get pretty busy on summer weekends but because the park is so big
you can always find a quiet place to yourself. a really special place!!
