“I take my son here on occasion to ride his scooter; and at times when I need to walk and enjoy the quietness, and the beautiful greenery nature has to offer, I walk the perimeter.”

From the reviews
…It's a tranquil little well maintained park with a play area for children, a small track which I'm guessing is about 1/4 mile. Benches are stationed throughout. This park is super for relaxation or a small romantic picnic. Winter, spring, summer or fall it's ideal for all seasons.
…There is a walking track that measures .33 of a mile around that runs safely through the interior of this oasis. That means three times around the track, and you've gone one mile. There's a great little playground on the Northeast side of the field, a safe distance from the Avenue.
…It has a walkway that goes in a circle like a track. People walk on the walkway and some jog. People ride bikes there or just sit on the benches. I like the play area but, I would say you should watch your child on some of the play areas due to how they are made.
