Felt like it was actually misting but no rain. Lots of water under the walkway. It's a Lush forest. Then I did the 1 mile loop prairie trail plus an extra 300 yard loop trail off the prairie trail. Overall a nice forest. Check it out if you haven't been. It's free and plenty of parking was available on a Saturday.

I came here twice, but it seems that the weekend is the best time to come if you're wanting to see a more livelier park, with more people, boats cruising and the party scene. There was quite a variety of boats/yachts cruising along the river. Some consisted of booze cruises, free water taxi's, a variety of tour boats, and I even spotted a cute Tiki bar floating along the river. I was also surprised to see the $600 million dollar Wanderlust yacht! It was pretty mind blowing in person. The few restaurants they have here were open at noon during the weekend, but if you're coming on the weekday, expect them to be open closer to the evening. It was mainly the Wharf and Rivertail that had special hours. There is plenty of seating available to sit and watch the boats cruising by, but some are directly in the sun, so bring a hat or umbrella for coverage incase you can't find a spot in the shade. The best part for me at this park was getting to see Iguanas casually strolling through the grass. I was blown away at how huge they were! They were like little dinosaurs. I kept hearing of possibly seeing reptiles, but to actually come across them unexpectedly was a little scary at first, but once I seen them slowly walking away from me; all was good. You don't see anything like this in California lol. I really loved seeing the beautiful vibrant green lizards! You can spot them hanging out in the trees or bushes. I recommend taking a close look at the beautiful trees that surround this park. I spotted air plants; which I have never seen growing on a tree. It was so cool to see the beauty of nature in a different environment than what I am used to seeing. The tropical vibes here are magical.

So glad some friends told us about this place awhile back when we were talking about places to take the grandkids in the future. But even if you're just a kid at heart, You may want to visit here. Wear your bathing suit. It's easy to find. And there's ample free parking out front. Mid week when we stopped by it wasn't very busy. But if I had kids, I'd be here every weekend -- especially in our recent hot weather. First and foremost is the interactive water/splash pad. So many machines spraying water, buckets dumping, etc etc. The three kids there were squealing with joy and excitement. Such fun. There's also a story walk/trail for children with various stops plus a regular walking trail. A covered playground with equipment for kids. A Volleyball sand court; basketball court; grills; picnic areas... all with a large swath of green grass in the middle -- perfect for events/concerts. On the south end is the canal C-14 with a fishing pier. More "waters edge" as in the name. And also for adults, there's a covered area right near the water with all sorts of gym/exercise equipment. Don't know what more you could want except maybe a few more resting benches along the main trail for the older folks... Go check it out. Bring the kids.

Not sure regarding the sign up, but I also see a lot of organize children sports groups play here as well.
