The architecture alone is a great reason to visit the campus grounds. You can rent a scooter, check out the chiseled names of all the graduates, or just wear yourself out walking all the hills!

This is a great starting place for many activities! There is a very nice paved trail that goes around the lake (5.5 miles), and a beginner friendly mountain bike trail as well (7 miles). Head north on the paved trail to see the Dam via a pedestrian bridge. The park also has sand volleyball courts and a playground.
