    Okay place to stroll around. Walked all throughout the 'park'. It's obviously for summer music festivals, but was empty of events when we were there. Still, the views from the bridge are green and...

    Loved what they did here. Nice place to go for a walk or sit and read a book. Plenty of sun or shade and sound of running water is relaxing. At the one end is a playground for the your kids.
