Ariel-Foundation Park, Mount Vernon

Wow! This park is amazing! Loved the ruins and the ability to walk up the giant tower. If you go you have to do that! There is parking in several areas. We did every trail and got 3.1 miles of walking. Every part of the park was beautiful and well maintained. There are restroom facilities in two location. There is a small museum but it wasn’t open when we went. There are trash containers everywhere and plenty of benches, picnic tables and swings around the lake and other areas. The trails are paved so it is completely accessible.

This is an amazing park. It's also big. There is so much to see and do. The highlight for me was the observation deck on the smokestack. The ruins of some of the factory that used to be here and buildings still intact is like an outdoor museum. I was unaware of the lakes and ponds that are part of the park.A pleasant surprise.
