Perfect park to take the four legged family members to. Grab food at Schat's, dodge the crowd and picnic here. There's also a dog park!

Must visit place if you are driving to Mammoth. Stop by at the Eric Chat's cafe which is at walking distance from this park, grab a sandwich & coffee and come to this park to enjoy the views and the soothing sounds of the ducks quacking away

Visited this beautiful park in the fall—gorgeous autumn trees, a peaceful pond full of ducks, and plenty of parking made it a great stop.
