Incredible place. Stopped with my daughter and puppy- to cool off in the splash area. Didn’t realize it was an actual pool and waterfall. My daughter was so excited. Family atmosphere. Very peaceful and friendly. We walked afterwords and stopped for some Ice-Cream. I saw a really interesting looking craft beer/wine tasting spot but didn’t get the chance to check it out. Looked incredible. Many cool restaurants line the strip.
I love it It’s nice for kids on those hot days my grandkids love going there and you can have a picnic there and walk your dogs
The area was nicely designed with beautiful bridges, lawn and chairs along the way. It’s not too crowded on weekend evening in late April. The night view was pretty amazing, and there seemed to have some great restaurants, winery and stores around this area. We had a fantastic dinner at Chole and walked around the park after it. Highly recommend!
Great spot to unwind after work! Meditating here during the sunset is fantastic too 🙂
Peace and quiet even on a long weekend with beautiful weather. Comfy seats were great for me to put my feet up after a long bike ride. Love it! A new place where to come more often to escape the stress of the city without even getting out of it.
