Description: This 150-acre park has views of the marshes and lots of different trails throughout the park. There are several art installations throughout the park, including a "Field of Poles" that casts shadow patterns. There are also concrete blocks at the entrance in a chevron shape. You can choose to hike up along the ridge, or stay flat along the marsh. This is a great park for bird watching or picnicking.
Restrooms, water fountains and trash cans are available near the parking lot.
