You will see a variety of beautiful flowers, trees and foliage including irises, cypress trees, and sprawling oak. The area provides habitat for swans, ducks, heron, geese, turtles, snakes and a variety of other wildlife. You can also just rest and enjoy the view from benches, picnic areas, and gazebos.
