We went to this park last night for a concert and it was WONDERFUL! With 5 kids, we are always looking for trails that are family friendly and we will definitely be heading here again soon! Great playground, great lake with boat rentals, and more!

We had a Cary Sparkers meet up here. It was fun. The trails were very nice. There's a little something there for everyone.

We LOVE this park! There are great trails and even some fitness stops, etc. My son loves to visit the ducks by the lake (near the boathouse). It's just a beautiful place to walk, play and more!!

I went to this park yesterday with my boyfriend and 14 year old daughter. Had a great time. Walked all the trails. My daughter and I had ridden our bikes through a couple of weeks ago. Did all the fitness stops, monkey bars, high jump, etc. Stopped at the senior center and did some yoga in their courtyard (absolutely beautiful place). Good trail for walking, jogging or bike riding.

Mediterranean Chicken with Orzo (Chef Meg's Makeover)
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

This healthful Mediterranean dish got a makeover from Chef Meg. She lowered the salt content and added parsley and capers for freshness and flavor. She also reduced the cooking time to keep the orzo from getting too soft and used plum tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes to keep the dish from getting too thin. Try serving this with steamed broccolini. Full Recipe
