The second 1/3 is composite decking on a raised boardwalk. The final portion is dirt/crushed gravel.

It's the perfect place for walking, running, biking, or just enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by nature. There's a sense of tranquility here that makes it ideal for both solo visits and family outings. The long, tree-lined path is stunning in every season--especially during sunrise or sunset--and the wide open fields are great for picnics, kite flying, or group gatherings.

It's also a popular spot for local events and photography sessions thanks to its natural beauty.

The paths were recently cleared and roots shaved down to provide an even and clear walking surface. While walking we saw a barred owl, woodpecker, and bald eagle. We went the day after a heavy rain and the trails were a bit muddy. I recommend sneakers or shoes good for mud if you go after a rain. On a non-rain day, all footwear is acceptable. It was little tricky to find as Google takes you to the 41 entrance that leads to a chained gate. Eventually we found the correct entrance on Park West Blvd. Once in the lot, you drive all the way to the farthest baseball fields with plentiful parking. Tip: take a photo of the trail maps as you can get turned around at the forks in the trails.

Skip this in the summer as the metal slides will surely give you a sunburn. There's a sandbox/sandpit that's covered which we liked - I could sit on the ledge and baby was contained and shielded from the sun. Bathrooms are a huge plus! There's no changing station, but it was nice to have public restrooms right there. Playground floor is sand and wood chips FYI. Plenty of nice grass and ball fields next door.
