Beautiful color and scenery at this park. Great for some cardio activity, too!
A tranquil lake to take a break.
I've been having quiet meetings over drinks and finger food for years in the area and never found this place.  It's a little hidden gem.  Comfy chairs.  Fire.  Tapas.  A great manhattan or sangria.  Thumbs up.
