This park/garden is beautiful. There are a couple easy hiking trails, lots of quiet places to sit and enjoy the scenery, a kids maze, and water features. I saw a woman taking professional pictures of her young boys...I woyld have lived to have seen the puctyres. Great place for photos.

awesome park but let me ask the park admin? why in the world have you not honored Zip? that dog served you and all of us faithfully for over a decade? and yet no sign? no plaque? no remembering zip anywhere?! shame on all of you! if I were working there I would insist on something to remember and honor one of the best dogs I have ever had the pleasure of knowing!
