OPAL’s Observations & Opinions:  This large and beautiful park has a wide variety of activities/ammenities and many ramps and paved trails for easy access.  There is an abundance of natural space with easily seen wildlife, an interpretative blind (complete with illustrations, explanations and an animal call listening station), a large space-themed playground, large veterans' memorial and more.  It's a great place to watch the sunset.
