When to Go
Any time of year (Great park to enjoy year round but can be chilly on windy days in winter and spring)
Things to Do
Walk or jog on the path, animal watching (ducks – ducklings in spring, turtles, seagulls, geese, etc.), throwing pebbles in the water, playground, sports (soccer, badminton, frisbees, etc.) and relaxing on the grassy areas (picnics, etc.), enjoying seasonal blooms, bikes/scooters/skates, boating, canoeing, fishing, swimming, etc.
Tips
1) The 2.8 mile (4.5 km) loop path along the lake may be tiring for the little ones, so start the walk from a point that is not too far from the playground. After the kids play, they can relax with a snack in the stroller while you walk the rest of the loop or head back.
2) It can get pretty chilly even on sunny days if there is wind so be sure to take along a jacket, hat and mittens.
