About
Hurtige fakta: A sweeping waterfront lawn draws families, dog walkers, and anglers who like to cast into the shallow river at sunset. More than 80 species of birds have been logged by local watchers, and interpretive plaques point out the best spots for quiet wildlife viewing.
Højdepunkter: Locals swear by the free 45-minute 'Jazz by the River' concerts that pack the bandstand, the aroma of fried dough and warm pretzels blending with the saxophone solos. Slip down the narrow footpath behind the playground at dusk to find a tiny stone amphitheater where frogs chorus, a single lamppost spills honey-colored light, and city reflections shimmer on the water.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for the riverside paths and grassy areas.
- Bring bug spray in summer and a light jacket for breezy evenings.
- Photograph from the riverbank around sunset for the best reflections and colors.
- Avoid weekend afternoons by visiting weekday mornings for quieter benches and easier parking.
