"My nieces and I come to this park every other Saturday rain or shine and we love it so much. I cannot express how much I appreciate all the love and attention you all pour into the park in its general maintenance and appearance. As an aunt I also appreciate how diligently you track the poison oak. The signs are so helpful. We also love love love the nature items scavenger hunt activities posted by the message board at the main entrance. Thanks again."

"I moved into the area in 2015 and remember thinking “it’s one paved path, it’s not a park, it’s a shortcut” Fast forward a few short years and WOW, it’s an excellent local park. We walk our dog through there multiple times per week and enjoy seeing all the changes and growth each year. Thank you to those who had this vision and the volunteers that keep making it better all the time. We’ll done!!"

"Great park tons of trails to walk on with your dog. Mine loves it here its always shaded on the trails which is nice and always mowed and kept clean. Right now there are tons of bunnies on the trails and wildlife. They label the plants so you see what they are too."
- Mandy Magnuson "Nice little park. It had a lot more going for it than I expected. We'll be back." – Dana Little |
"So pretty awesome how different this park is. Little trails everywhere. What's great is that they have little stakes next to trees and bushes so u can know what they are."
– Natasia Jones "Love our park a little more everyday. Thank you!" – Eric Dobson "We appreciate all you are doing. We love the trail and walk our dogs there all the time." – Ellen and John Skofstad |
