Comments: The left concrete trail ends at a road underpass, but a jeep trail continues on the other side for some time. If you stick to the concrete trail the path is very easy. The small pond in this park is something of a magnet for waterfowl in the area. We've seen Herons, ducks, Killdeer and even a Kestrel flying about.
