What visitors are saying
“This park is a mixed bag. While there are occasional volunteers to clean up, there are many others abusing the system and overflowing with leftover BBQ items. Much of the park is occupied, but also many empty courts for tennis/pickle ball/basketball.”

“Such a beautiful park full of amazing trees and activities. Lots of space . Too bad so many people piss/sleep? in bushes its stinky! Also there is too much trash and bad food out of appropriate bins that need addressing. There should be more authorities to stop this behaviour its a beautiful park with lots if nature and contemplating spots.”

“It's a lovely park and when I first moved here I spent a lot of time there, unfortunately, I have to agree with other posters. Posters who say that the park has become dirty, there's people's trash on clothes underneath the trees and bushes. And it smells. I just want to sit on a bench and read a book but I can't go there anymore. Someone really needs to deal with that in the city. It's a beautiful place.”
