But, I think I've kept this awesome Burlington trail a secret for long enough. Let me start by saying that there is a park area with a playground and covered shelter and grill that looks nice and clean! On our most recent visit, there was a big cookout going on, and all of the parking spaces in the small lot were full. Don't be concerned if that's the case when you arrive ... there's plenty of street parking available in the surrounding neighborhood. And - even if the play area is full of people, we've never seen another person on the actual trail beneath the park. This trail is not for hiking amateurs. You can except a VERY steep climb back uphill at the end of your visit. There is a side path that's a little less steep - but it's very rocky with lots of switchbacks. I definitely recommend this trail for more experienced hikers. If you are a beginner and still want to check it out, just be sure you know what you're getting into. It's definitely worth the climb! My husband and I often bring our dogs for a quick spin around this trail, on both weekday and weekend mornings. When you get down to the actual river, there's plenty of wildlife to check out. Most recently, we enjoyed the blooming Honeysuckle plants, but steered clear of a few snakes in the water. Be sure to watch where you step. Check out Gunpowder Creek the next time you're looking for a unique nature hike with a bit of a challenge. You won't be disappointed.

This park is far too small to be nestled inside of an increasingly large community near a high school. If there's good weather, cars will be lined out on the street to find a place to park (there's maybe 15 spots here). I do enjoy coming and walking my dog on the little loop trail they have, but be prepared to do your business and go. People come here and get up to all sorts of shady business to the point where Florence PD had to install cameras to monitor the place.

I'm surprised no toddlers have fallen over the side and gotten hurt yet. The fields always look waterlogged, even after only light rain. This is such a shame because I remember it being such a great park for toddlers and school aged kids alike when my oldest kids were little. There used to be a ton of big shade trees, which made it a great spot for picnic or relaxing while the kids played. Now there is Astroturf under the play area, and it gets really hot in the summertime. We used to come weekly. Now maybe once or twice per year with my youngest (a toddler). Such a loss.

Even on a crowded day there would be enough covered areas for everyone visiting. A nice touch is the covered picnic tables right near the play structures. This is particularly welcomed when visiting with young kids. Several play structures for different ages. There are also swings, a soccer field, hiking trail, and basketball court. The basketball court area is on an island surrounded by parking. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Bathrooms at parks aren't usually this clean. The park itself is really clean. All in all, this is a pleasant community park.

The area is beautiful and a great place for a walk. My 4 star rating is coming from a desire for a better map, the ones they have are ok but I had a little bit of trouble at times, and then for being let down on 2 things I promised my kids. The "children's garden" has definitely seen better days and is very lackluster in general. There's nothing to do inside of it and we were honestly just confused. The other thing was the butterfly garden, all of the bushes were gone on our visit. In general, these things aren't a big deal but considering I had 4 small kids with me, these were 2 things advertised that we were looking forward to.

There's plenty of parking - regardless if you're there for a baseball game or for a nice walk. We brought our dog with us, and ended up doing the entire loop in just under an hour. We'd initially pulled up this trail in the AllTrails app, and it told us this was 1.1 miles ... we're not so sure that's accurate, since it felt like we were walking for much longer than that. Next time, we'll make sure to measure how far we've gone. Either way - what a gorgeous way to start your day! The plants and trees are all labeled, and sorted into various collections. The Magnolia Collection was by far our favorite, although that's about as far back into the loop as you can get. The trail itself is well-maintained, and wasn't too busy at all on a Saturday morning around 9 a.m. There was a good age range among the folks walking ... it was nice to everyone from families to elderly couples out for a morning stroll. We'll definitely return to this paved trail - it's especially convenient after a big rain, when you don't want to hike through the mud!
