Watch for heavy pedestrian traffic on this trail. Especially children as the trail is near the playground.

Description

From the main parking lot, head to the southeast corner and take a quick peek at the trail map to familiarize yourself with our trail systems. From the kiosk, head due east and left around the corner to the wood bridge for a quick warm up through the woods on your way to the main core of trails.
