Description: This multi-use trail starts behind the park toilet and forms a circuit around the park. There are some short steep sections that make this trail challenging enough for a workout. The trail surface is made of decomposed granite so watch your step on the steep areas. From the trail you can see a small dam where birds like to spend time in the water. There are some other interesting features in the park such as the detention basin and a little pond that can be reached outside of the circuit.
