Small but with a nice view. Not too much to say, sometimes the pictures does equal thousands of words.
The bridge amazed me because it has some details you don’t usually see on bridges. So from underneath you can see the sunset and its light on the bridge that creates a nice scenery. A nice walk a little bit out of downtown, not far at all, yet it reveals a more calm and natural side of the city.
It is close to the edventure museum for kids, so it is good for a family walk.
Beautiful! The walk was beautiful and relaxing, I love the historical fact boards about the area. The only thing off was the size of the trail. When people were passing from the opposite side of the trail I had to go in front of my dad who was walking beside me. Overall I love this park and will be returning.
Was traveling through the area today and decided to stop for a walk, and what a wonderful spot this was! So peaceful and scenic! It didn’t hurt that it such a beautiful day, but this place is such a great resource for the residents here. Thank you for allowing me to partake, and I’ll see you next time I pass by.
Nice place to Walk and fishing the restroom 🚻 it’s clean
You can walk on the little Bridgeway that they have, but it takes you to the other side of Gervais to another little park and that is it. The walkway under the bridge there was somebody taking a nap there so just a heads up, but if you wanted to get to the water, it’s almost impossible. Emphasis on the almost you have to go there to see what I mean. I know the hurricane has an impact on a lot of these parks and hopefully they’ll be able to open them again soon.
