Write a reviewQuiet , small but just enough!
Nice park but the parking is limited due to weekend games. Very kid friendly and good for family events!
This is a fairly under the radar national park. It is however better than I was expecting. There is plenty of parking and the trails are short and easy. There are numerous information plaques around the park (I’ve included pictures of most of them). There are a few cannons too which are much larger than I was expecting. I do wish that the park was a little more developed with more picnic areas and maybe a small visitor center. This park lacks a unigrid (brochure) which makes me a little sad.
