Coming from the Triangle, I really wish we had a park as nice as this one. This park seems to have everything you could hope for in a park: a playground, a long trail along a creek, open courts and fields, lakes, ponds, and even a museum. The triangle has great nature trails for runners and bikers, but most of the parks are smaller and none of them have as many amenities as this one. The streets surrounding the park are also nice, with many cool shops and restaurants nearby. There are also bike lanes along the roads, and medians at reasonable intervals to make crossing the street easy. I'm sure there are negatives to the park that I didn't notice on my first trip, but I had a great time walking the park with Susan Z. I also highly recommend driving the streets around the park, which have beautiful old trees that create a lush canopy.
