Very nice
Decent ,nice even
I saw a red squirrel. Pretty rare in these parts.
It’s a nice quiet park. Though it’s a little small. I like the hills and the pine trees. But there’s lots of trash by the trailhead on Wilmington. And the trail head on Roundtree is a little overgrown. I wish they had a trail in the part of the park on the other side of Elkland. There’s actually a lot of woods back there if you want to bushwhack.
It is a fairly nice park to hike in, but it is inside a neighborhood and is a bit small.
