Great park for walking or jogging, but not during 'Prime Time', between 4 to 7pm or so, during the week..parking is a bitch! Use the bathroom at the clubhouse before walking..avoid portapotties!

Great 3 mile jogging track . Usually plenty if parking with the exception of the area around the club house and tennis courts during peak hours.
