I walked approximately .5 miles on the path in this park.  After many days of rain, it was nice to squint in the sunshine.

The trail is wide enough for a few people to walk side by side and it is level with a slight incline.  

This trail has a very even gravel surface. Most of the gravel is small but some is a little bigger in the areas that needed more water drainage.  Even though some sections were damp, there was no area that had standing water despite the recent weeks of rain.  I believe strollers would be fine of this trail.  I have passed this trail on the way to the childhood homestead many times and wanted to check it out.  I could see the entire trail from each point on the trail but it was a good starter trail for me after a very long break from walking and hiking.  It was good to be out on a level surface with no tree roots to navigate.

I passed a couple walking their small dog.  One fenced backyard that is along the park edge had a very barky dog.

I saw one piece of McDonald's trash near the playground but none on the walking trail. 

The mosquitos were not a bother today.

I heard songbirds and saw dandelions.
