Guide
Good to know
Go on weekday mornings
Friday afternoons and early mornings offer fewer crowds while the park remains popular but never feels packed.
Plan around cherry blossom season
Spring brings blooming sakura trees and a Cherry Blossom Festival with food and shopping, though only a few trees bloom.
Visit for wildlife photography
The park hosts red-shouldered hawks, kestrels, ospreys, pelicans, herons, and monarch butterflies throughout the year.
Watch for duck droppings
Benches and pathways accumulate waterfowl waste, and the surrounding pond areas can smell intense near the ponds.
Bring your own dog waste bags
The park lacks dedicated dog poop stations despite being very dog-friendly with wide trails and open space.
