Birders generally head for the pond in the northern part of the park. Though there are always many Domestic Mallard, even as late as the beginning of spring there are enough duck species here to practice your identification skills. Check out the southwest end of the pond for Neotropic Cormorant. Patience may be rewarded by a heron or gull sighting. Don’t ignore the park’s many trees: Cooper’s Hawk is not unusual.
Northern Shoveler, American Wigeon, Ring-necked Duck, Neotropic Cormorant, White-Winged Dove, Cooper’s Hawk, Great-tailed Grackle.
This urban park of almost 20 acres features playgrounds, benches, shelters, picnic tables, restrooms, and a one-acre pond. A large paved parking area may be entered off South Walnut Street. The turfed park is dotted with numerous deciduous trees, as well as some palms.
