Easy walk around the lake on a wide paved path. Dogs on leash, but had fun in the lake.
I love taking the dog out here to get some air. Sometimes we run it and other times we just walk it and enjoy the sunset. It's got a beautiful view of the city. Very dog friendly. I've only been here in the winter but we love it.
Busy but very dog friendly
