Nice walk. Path is in mostly grass with some mulchy bits and some muddy bits. The area around the ruins is wide open grassy plain with a nice mowed trail. Farther in has some gentle hills. Dogs are supposed to be on leash and owners are supposed to clean up but some people do not follow the rules. The CBP facility next door is doing a bunch of construction so your hike may have a soundtrack. Had a good time and a good walk for my girl healing from her knee surgery.
Small parking lot with bathroom 'facilities' on site (not porta potty's but a building). Facilities could use a bit more upkeep. The park is a battleground park with a walking trail that is about 2.5 miles long. The trail goes up and down hill and is mostly grass/mulch trailed.
It was a nice brisk walk for a fall day and offered some good views of the nearby hills. Would be great for a summer picnic and then a walk. Old school house building (I think it was) was a couple of brick walls left (interesting for folks who love ruins like that).
There is also a set of cannon's on the ridge to look at.
There is another house/s nearby that are fenced off from visitors.
Just a real nice place for a walk
Loved the old fence, and school ruins.
