A great little park tucked into the forest and hills. Great for runners, families who want to go on a walk in the area, and if you want a fitness cut through from Terwilliger to Corbett. You’ll find all kinds of cool plants and lots of pacific sideband snails during certain seasons so watch where you step or you’ll hear a sad little crunch!

Found some cool oyster mushrooms there in May. I also found some miners lettuce and candy flowers. I ate them and they didn't make me sick. So a nice place to forage. The main problem is the invasive geranium and Ivy which takes over everything. A nice place to see bleeding hearts, trillions, and cottonwood as well.
