Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking!…read more I was most definitely caught off guard by how green and well-maintained the trails at Clove Lakes Park were! Turtles, squirrels, and birds of all kind added to the experience. The trail I was on offered a lot of shade, so even though it was warm outside I did not feel overly hot or sweaty. It was also very quiet and peaceful, especially considering it was a Saturday afternoon.

Cross these to get to a few cool businesses. You should avoid the actual park and go check out these. It doesn't have a whole lot happening inside. It's because there's not a whole lot of room. This is just a small grassy area surrounded by streets. Businesses around the park are much more interesting. You can go to a hippie owned bookstore and performance space, craft beer at Flagship Brewery, and pizza at Flour and Oak. Inside the park is one interesting statue to look at. It honors the Spanish American War, in case you were curious. The park can easily be gotten to by a bus, and it isn't even that long of a walk from St. George Terminal.

I particularly like how the wandering paths lead me back to the towering bamboo which is the entry point to the garden. The natural elements and the architecture built in the garden is a peaceful place fit for the scholar's meditation and study. There is a circular portal that leads to a courtyard with rocks that form a geometric pattern on the ground, guiding the eye to the organic shapes of the plants and trees. One element guides the eye to another element through contrast and even through repetition of shapes as can be seen in how there is a scallop edged wall behind this courtyard with the circular doorway. The circle motif is echoed in the design of the scallop edged wall beyond which flows another pond and yet more plants of different sizes. The landscape design also includes the waterfalls, pavilions and a rock-carved walkway with steps on it as well as a walkway that is zig-zagged! A great backdrop for picture taking with interesting rock formations along the pond in the courtyards. Also, when you pass by the koi fish pond, you could hear the splashing sounds they make as they swim around in the water. It brings an inner calm, tranquility and peacefulness to the viewers when they see the koi fish swim in the still water. I highly recommend a visit to the Chinese Scholar's Garden!

Other than than, it's used for official business (and FDNY fire boat docks there). It was a naval base, but is decommissioned.

The plans look fairly nice, and they've started construction work, after long stalling... let's hope it finally comes together!
