    LOVE THIS PLACE
    Love this center. Friendly staff. TURTLES. lol. My toddler loves it. Tons of trails to walk. A fantastic kids area with slides & beautiful play areas. I go every few days. AND IT"S FREE. But please do donate or buy something cute from the shop to support it's ongoing beauty.

    Get out and enjoy
    The trails are decent, if you stay on the main ones. Don't venture to the smaller ones with children as there are homeless spots with needles and bongs on the trail. The viewing point, well don't waste your time. It is a view of the highway and trash. If you stay on the main trails it is very nice. The park is decent and our girls had fun. Inside the center is also nice. They have a small set up for young kids to learn and play pretend. Overall it was a decent outing.
