Still quite young so not the best "botanical" park, but still a great place to take a wander. Best in Autumn - lots of great colour. Small Lake. Lots of space to roam or run. Next door to Adventure playground (free).

Highest point for miles. Great views at the top which can be accessed all the way by car. A few lovely hiking trails from the undulating mild Nature Loop to the more strenuous Federal Falls trail.
