Why have so many people forgotten the beauty of their local parks? I have mentioned this place to so many people who seem to not even know it exists! \n\nBeautifully landscaped & lots of parking close to the picnic tables. \nA good group of small but shady trees - perfect for napping or reading or napping :)  \nA nice water feature that makes for great bird landings - I saw ducks and geese (or pheasant or flamingos - I'm not really a bird person) splashing about to keep cool on a late summer day in 2012. \nNow that we've made it through half the winter, I'm looking ahead to more, ahem, reading in the shade!
