I live parking here. It’s a smaller park but close to everything! REI is usually so hectic but this place is a 3 min walk and usually easy to find a spot. I like to walk around side the river grab a coffee at Starbucks and just enjoy some underrated city views.

Small park that seems geared to hikers and cyclists. Parking is a nightmare when they get busy. Went to a different park due to better parking and picnic areas.

Small park with a view. The porta potty under Spear Blvd Bridge can come handy.

Pretty clean, someone from the local community handmade at least a dozen scarves and put them in different locations in the park for those in need of warmth. So heartwarming to see ^_^
