Parks & Nature
My favorite place to go for a walk in our neighborhood. The Rhododendron garden along the north is spectacular and the tall trees in the rest of the park provide protection from the rain and sun, so that you can walk or run on the soft trails no matter what the weather. You can do a quick walk, or link with the Ribbon Trail for miles of walking/running.
