Very scenic park with a 1.7 mile paved trail for walking, running or cycling around a water reservoir. Catch and release fishing, canoeing, sand volleyball and picnic areas. The trails have long stretches of shaded areas in the morning and evening. Accessible from Cypresswood or from the entrance by St Luke’s Hospital. Scheduled activities for kids and the annual Vintage Park Fun Run.

I love this park, and the scenery is just beautiful with lake, water sports, fishing, canoe, volleyball, dog area and etc.

A hidden gem! Great 1.7 mile paved walking path with mile markers every 1/4 - 1/2 mile.
2 fishing piers. Restrooms at the main "trail head".
Non-motorized small boats allowed. Must be able to carry boat to the water, no boat ramp. Open 7am to Dusk. Weekend community nature preserve activities for families.
I went on a Monday at 11am to walk. I encountered maybe a dozen other people. There are some isolated spots if you are walking alone- Be safety-minded.

Great park. Clean, shaded.

Great walking trail. Very peaceful when it's not busy. I took 3 pictures of an object in the water near the bridge. These photos were taken on 3 separate occasions. You be the judge. I took a new photo with my telephoto lense. Definitely an alligator. Right by the water outlet. The parks department is aware of him. Please do not feed or bother him.
