Nice paved trails next to Medina River this area could be better though in my opinion. No river access and only dirt trails in the area you have to pay to play. Donkey Lady Bridge sign is now gone so there's even less to look at.

Went on a weekend during Fiesta. The park was not full at all however I did notice there wasn't that much parking space. Make sure you take cold drinks beacuse even though the trails may be shaded in alot of areas, it will get hot pretty quick. Its a very nice place to observe birds and just get away from people in general. This is just my opinion because there was hardly anyone here. I really will come back. It was quiet and I could actually hear the cardinals sing. The best part is it is free. I will come back next time I ha e a chance.

An unexpected gem! This park was clean and quiet. With the river running through it, it’ll be a great addition to beat the heat come summertime. There are paved and dirt trails that are very easy to follow. Also seems to be an abundance of bikers in this area too

Easy 10/10 place to recreate and probably the best natural area in SA. Excellent for birding, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking and basically every outdoor activity. The park is well-maintained with an abundance of wildlife and the volunteers are very nice. Trails are well-marked and easy to navigate with varying difficulty levels. Overnight camping is also offered here which is always a plus. Only cons are the unfortunate road noise that is present throughout most of the park, there also is litter in some places, especially near the river but overall that doesn't detract from the experience which is why this gets 5 stars from me.

Great little walk, if it is sunny there is nice coverage with trees. Listen to the water run and awesome that pets are allowed. Not super challenging but I very nice place to clear your head.
