Parks & Nature

I nice place to take a walk or run. It's usually busy with the locals taking advantage of some nature within the city. You'll find people of all ages and engaged in all sorts of activities. There a few different trails, with different points of interest within the park and a decent view on the top of a small hill...although walking up it might not seem too small ;)
