Nice place for a walk, but not alone. There's still a lot of trees knocked down after the last storm, areas closed and marked with yellow tape.

Wonderful park, sadly full of trash because of disrespectful people and loads of trees down after the last storm make some parts of it unaccessible. My four stars are for the the trash. People grow up!
