I saw pictures of the park from fall and it they looked breathtaking. Maybe its the time of the year that makes the difference. I took the metro to the place and the experience was ok. Its end of August and there was a light drizzle. The water was calm but the weed cleaning going wasnt helping with the serenity. I wanted to use the bathroom and took a long walk to the back only to find it closed. Its a great place for some quiet time or to read a book. Needs more visits for a balanced review though.

Absolutely great experience! Definitely a perfect place to hang out with family or friends during a nice day. There is a lot of green space and a mix of sunny and shaded areas depending on what you feel like. Great spot for a picnic, outdoor games, and a little day drinking :)

It's one of my favorite parks. Its large but isn't full of fields for sports.. People come for picnics and for bike riding or running. It's a very chill park.. Also there are hawks there if you like bird watching.
