It is a small public park with a playground, several picnic tables, bathrooms, a fenced dog park trail, and several 1 - and 2-mile walking loop trails marked with colored dots. Some aggressive mountain bike trails/obstacle bike courses, a nature center, and an archery course (paid membership).
This is a protected natural flood plain strip along the Ortega river about 5 miles long and 2 miles wide running parallel to hwy17 and the river. So it is flat muddy pine trails, an easy walk path, but lots of tree roots don't recommend atvs the trails aren't wide or well paved.
Great fenced for dog area. Otherwise, leash law is posted everywhere.
Lots of small, sleepy wildlife, squirrels, armadillos, owls, lizards, birds, bugs, and turtles. Very rarely, you might spy a deer, otter, nutria, snapping turtle, or the swamp puppies, herbert, and gerald near the big island trail bridge.
Please remember to not litter or feed and wildlife. They are being looked after.
Like this park is right next to the CSX train tracks so nothing big or territorial wants to live nearby, so it's not exciting but it's good for a daily walk, well maintained and frequented.

Beautiful trails, bridges and brick road. Dog park is okay but hasn’t had trash dumped in a while. Was able forage and remove some toxic mushrooms for other amateur gatherers.

Excellent MTB trails and jump lines. Always nicely maintained and good, easy trails for the area with some nice features for more advanced riders.

Fun trail.history all around this park. It's not easy to find, but it's still a pleasure.

Beautiful local park with a short trail that takes you to a lookout tower! It's peaceful

Observation deck is on the same side as the nature center which is at the end of the road. You pass a playground and dog park before coming to a round about. Easy 1.5 miles trail.
2/13 The trails adjacent from the nature center are flooded and more rugged with roots and garbage.

Cool park with a few neat trails. Some of the trails could use a little maintenance but they aren't terrible. Very happy with our visit.

Great place to take your dog in wilderness surrounded by city. Several trails are here. Just watch out if it just drained hard. You may want to wait a day or two. Several trails or in low-lying areas near wetlands so it does get pretty damp but two days after a rain it's dry and good to go
