    This is a great place to go for a walk for some exercise, and it is in town. Scenery and wild life make you feel like you are a long ways from the hustle and bustle. There are plenty of people around, which makes me feel a lot safer than some paths/trails.

    Multiple loops around multiple ponds. Neat man made land bridges. Some wood bridges. Hidden cattail walk in the north neighborhood entrance. Plenty of small bluegill. Good spots for elderly or handicapped. High foot traffic and blind corners everywhere. Hazardous to ride bike here.
