The good, the bad, and the buggy, a short review of the park.

The good things about this park is that the trail is all paved and very wide.

The bad things about this park is that there is some muddy marsh land right next to the trail so it attracts bugs and can be a little smelly (not really bad though). The birds really loved it and were everywhere.

The buggy I’m a bug’s favorite chew toy so how much did they love me? Yeah they had some fun.
