Nice place for a walk, (paved walkway). Now and then you could slightly smell the water treatment, but not bad enough to deter us from visiting again. The pathway along the river is down a hill, but there is a zigzag pathway that makes it easy to get to. The hill is not too steep that you couldn't just walk down and up the hill. Nice little park with a gazebo and seating. Additional seating is spaced out along the river (bench/logs/flat boulders).
