About
Locals love this park for its flat, paved 1.7-mile loop around the reservoir. It is a go-to spot for families, joggers, and dog walkers. The swan boats and proximity to the zoo make it a fun day out. While generally clean and peaceful, some visitors mention parking gridlock on busy weekends. Overall, it is a well-loved community gem.
