The park is relatively small, so if you're looking for a longer hike/walk, this isn't it. There are a few trails through the wooded area near the creek and some peacocks chilling nearby.Full review by Icarus4335

Nice to come to visit the place during weekend if you don’t know where to go but want to chill outdoors a bit. Have some peacocks in the park and the garden view.Full review by Joi-2049

Yes, it is free. Take lots of film or a car charger for your camera or phone. You could do it in an hour, but the best experience is if you can spend several hours there, possibly, pack a small lunch and enjoy. Even small kids, if they are under control, will enjoy this. It is also a great place to put down a blanket and listen to music on your headphones. I love the place. Many more people there on the weekend, but I have never seen it crowded except when the park is reserved for special events. Enjoy!
