Before you go
- The park features a paved loop trail that is just under two miles long, making it an excellent spot for a stroller walk.
- For the best experience, plan your visit for a cooler morning to enjoy the pretty walks and wide open spaces.
- If you attend the Independence Day celebration, look out for free shuttle options from the nearby high school.
