ADA Accessible Paved

Family Friendly Easy path to let the little tykes ride their little bikes

I would guess the path around the lake gets icy during cold weather due to water from the springs.

Need to Know

Restrooms closed in winter

Description

Paved trail around a city park with a longer loop to go around a lake.

From the parking lot, the near loop is around ball fields. There is a stem along a golf course leading to another loop that goes around a lake. Some of the water from the springs for which the park is named drain across the pavement.

Flora & Fauna

Canada geese are around to foul the pavement.
